With the most recognizable name in baroque-era classical music, or perhaps music in general, Johann Sebastian Bach was indeed defined by his art. In 1705, when he was 20 years old, he walked 280 miles to attend a concert by the famous composer and organist Dieterich Buxtehude. ... Read More

Among Alfred Dunhill's greatest contributions to pipemaking is classic shaping. For those who appreciate traditional shapes in their most traditional forms, Dunhill's famous White Spot pipes are the gold standard, and rightfully so. For a true Billiard shape, look to the White Spot. ... Read More

Estate Pipes: Perfect Enough

The building housing Smokingpipes is the size of a respectable big box store. There's a lot it has to fit: offices, warehousing, a gigantic walk-in cigar humidor, a kitchen large enough to accommodate 70-80 people, photo and video rooms, conference rooms, and a shipping department that's a visual extravaganza ...

The Inauguration

The young man stepped through the doorway with an accompanying gust of air. To any non-regular, the stranger would have seemed relaxed and unassuming, but I could tell he was unfamiliar with the place and self-conscious by the way he briefly paused in the foyer to get his bearings, glancing skittishly from left to right. ...

Albert Einstein: Pipesmoking Genius

August 9, 2019 by Chuck Stanion

When one thinks of Albert Einstein, what image manifests? His pipe, naturally. That's easy for pipesmokers, but most people unfamiliar with the benefits of the briar think of E = mc² first, then about Einstein's hair, and maybe his violin. But Einstein's pipe is a near constant in photos of the physicist ... Read More

Antarctica experiences temperatures that have been measured, by satellite, as low as -135.8 °F (-93.2 °C). That's without the wind chill factor, and the place is the windiest of the continents, with winds gathering speeds on the coastline of up to 185 mph, though in 1972, wind speeds of 199 mph were recorded. ...

St. Augustine Ghosts

Lighthouses are famous for their hauntings, or so I gather from watching the Travel Channel for a few hours of ghost hunting shows (save your get-well cards; I'm recovering). Those shows are popular now, or so I infer, given their prevalence. Brave teams of paranormal investigators visit haunted locations and find ... Read More

My grandfather and the 10 Tobys (all of his dogs were named Toby) avoided the Middaugh brothers, who lived on a neighboring farm at the bottom of the long, steep road that connected most of the farms in the area when I was a boy. The road made a quick turn just before the Middaugh house ... Read More

The Wampanoag People of Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts were native Americans primarily active in the 17th century and before, though members survive today in two tribes.
