Pipeology - The Fine Art of Pipe Smoking and Thought

 Religion is about philosophy.  Belief systems are about philosophies.  Philosophies dictate how we live our lives.  Beliefs of any kind matter.  I believe in the sanctity of every human life beginning with conception.  I believe that only God has the right to take a human life including our own lives.   But where does this philosophy about Human Life come from?  If it comes from myself I would be a completely different person.  If it came from a religion, then I am a follower of a leader or teacher.  I could join with others who share this same belief.  But I don’t find it in today’s Christianity.  I find it more closely aligned with Buddhism than Christianity. But Buddhism for me isn’t the answer either.  Actually, I would have to align myself with others who get this philosophy of life from Above.  I get it from Angels.  And what if I lie, or hallucinated, or spoke with demons?  I can’t prove my Angels ex...

 My Angels laid a lot of heavy things on me.  My pipes are my escape, but only partly.  My pipes are a part of my Spirituality.  I don’t have many wants in this life and really never have except for what we could afford.  I don’t need Dunhill pipes in my collection.  In fact I don’t even need pipes costing a hundred dollars.  I’d rather have a lot of tobaccos I can choose from and smoke those blends in the pipes I have.   Good tobacco doesn’t have to be expensive.  If I can get eight ounces for around 30 bucks that is just fine with me.  I have figured out that I go through about 16 ounces of tobacco in about a month.  Then I just order more.  Smoking pipes takes some financial wherewithal to care for the pipes.  I received a nice pipe reaming kit for Christmas that I have needed for quite some time. I go through a batch of pipe cleaners every couple of months.  I have pipe lighters that require fluid, flints, and wic...

 I order pipe tobacco towards the end of the month.  I like to order something I’ve had along with something I haven’t had. I’m big on Peter Stokkebye’s Proper English and less so on Arango Balkan Supreme.  Any tobacco from the Balkans is a holy grail of tobacco.  But last month I ordered Balkan Supreme with Proper English and find I enjoy proper English a bit better.   Balkan Supreme gets high reviews as it should, but I decided to try a blend I’ve never had before, which is Old College by Cornell and Diehl thinking it might be closer to Old Professor.  But Old College only gets a 3.1 star review with only eight reviews.  But it was the about the same with Old Professor.  In fact Old Professor wasn’t in the top 100 when I first ordered it.  Then it moved up to a top 100 best seller.   Proper English is a top 100 seller on Smoking Pipes.  But Balkan Supreme is a top 10 best seller.  Old College isn’t in the list.  I might ...

Human Life might be more at stake now than at any time since WWII.  What my Angels told me about God judging those who intentionally take Human Life just might mean more now than at any time since my Angels told me this 31 years ago.  Intentionally taking a life including one’s own means Judgement by God.   The rest of us have no reason to fear.  We can fear death, yes, but not God’s Judgement.  The world is very unstable now and I believe that people need to know about God’s Judgement.  My voice is small in a world where so many voices are heard.  Why would God tell me this?   I have wondered this myself.  But it is a message my Angels gave me.  Maybe at some point in time I will be heard, but I begin with a few.  Jesus died for every sin but the sin of intentionally taking Human Life, including one’s own life.  The key word here is “intentionally.”  All innocent victims will go to heaven.  But I am saddened when the...

Dr. Michio Kaku doesn’t get a lot of views on YouTube, but his vids have been showing up on my YouTube feeds.   He’s not an alarmist.  And I do think that 3I/ATLAS is intelligence.  Since my Angels there have been six presidential administrations.  It’s possible that 3I/ATLAS is the coming of the Messiah.  But what does this mean for us now?   My Angels told me back in 1993 that we were already in the Great Tribulation period.  Looking back I think Hitler was the Anti-Christ.  I believed each president to be the Beast from Revelation.  Trump is no exception.  But if what I think of 3I/ATLAS being extraterrestrial intelligence maybe this time I am right.   The Four Horsemen are here.  I can name each one, I believe.  But what if I am wrong about everything?  But on the other hand, what if I am right this time?  I had to wait for 3IATLAS to arrive.  According to my Angels I will live to see the Messiah come. ...

 I was posting in the mornings, but I’ve been sleeping in lately letting it warm up before coming outside and decided to post when I’m ready.   Apart from the US my pipe collection represents a number of countries, mostly Danish, Irish, and Italian.  I have pipes from other countries, but these countries are most representative of my collection.  As for tobaccos I would say I smoke mostly tobaccos from the US and Denmark with Ireland in the mix.   Pipe smoking is common in most countries of the developed world.  Some pipe makers have made pipes even in China.  I’m not sure I have any pipes made in China, but a lot of products sold in the US come from China.  But tobaccos come from mostly the US, Denmark, and Ireland.  Dunhill and Davidoff are from England with Dunhill having sold their blends to Peterson which is Irish.   I mention this because as a pipe smoker, I don’t want to pay more for European pipes and tobaccos.  But it all d...
