To me, Burley tobaccos offered only what I could describe as a burning flavor; I could taste something burning, but that's all I could perceive, the lack of discernible flavor ... Read More

One Saturday a couple of years ago, my girlfriend Brandee and I headed down to Conway to visit the Riverwalk, a quaint little spot on the Waccamaw perfect for a spur of the moment lunch date.

I still remember a pipe repair guy years ago telling me that he could tell I consistently smoked my pipes all the way to the heel. I felt a sense of pride in that accomplishment. That guy was Ronni Bikacsan, one of the best to practice the craft. He stopped doing repairs, sadly, overwhelmed and overcrowded. I had high regard for his ... Read More

When the aliens landed, the event went unnoticed, because they were itsy, tiny aliens. Their craft entered the atmosphere and floated on air currents through an open window into a pipe smoker's office, landing next to a pipe waiting to be cleaned on the desk. ... Read More
