The year 2024 has been the single most tumultuous period for the pipe-tobacco industry since the beginning of my career in the late 1990s, even more so than in 2016 when the publication of FDA's Deeming Regulations upended the regulatory environment for pipe tobacco in the U.S. ... Read More

My Wintertime Smoking Rotation

Contrary to the belief of my friends and family, I don't spend the winter months covered in blankets by the space heater in my office with my scalding hot coffee and pipe to warm my hands. I also spend time on my patio layered in both sweater and heavy jacket by the patio heater with my scalding hot coffee and pipe to warm my hands. Much like I rotate between these two locations, I tend to generate a preferred rotation of tobaccos every winter. ... Read More

If you've used the word "pandemonium," perhaps when your life has been upended by craziness or absurdity, you have John Milton to thank — not for the craziness, but for the word to describe it, which he invented. It's from his epic poem, Paradise Lost (1667), and was "the high capital of Satan and all his peers," and the dwelling place of all demons. Its meaning has shifted in modern times, but Milton conceived it. ... Read More

The Christmas Chimney Fire

One Christmas Eve in the '60s, very late in the evening, as my brothers, sister, and I tried to sleep through the anticipation of Santa's arrival, my dad's fire monitor went off. It was a loud, screeching thing that we all hated because it squawked and chirped through loud static every night and rarely announced anything exciting. Dad was a volunteer firefighter for our small village ... Read More

Ever since I was a young girl, I have always felt the magic and the wonder of the holiday season.
