The Narcissism of PumpJack McGent

PumpJack McGee · 2013-11-10T01:19:21-01:00

My sense of style and hobbies have always been something people have remarked upon- often with a slight sense of admiration. Some have expressed- or in other cases, did- decide to ape some of those qualities (myself and one of my friends have started a number of trends amongst our circles; pipe smoking and the wearing of hats the most noticeable among them. Black leather gloves have also seen a significant increase). Anyways- not that I'm actively going to encourage you to take any of them up, be your own person first and foremost- here are a couple of sites that I've found that are relevant to my interests. The first one being the most recent discovery (few days ago). Feel free to peruse them as far as your interest takes you. The Art of Manliness - A great find, which both amuses and depresses me- since a great many of the topics here seem to me to be common sense. But I guess not. Gentleman's Emporium - Expensive, but you pay for what you get. The clothes are of fantastic quality, and they wear well. Other items- such as their pocket watches- are less so. Mostly or purely theatrical. Whisky - For those who are serious about their drink. Reviews, tasting notes, price listings, and- a nice touch- brief histories of the brands and distilleries. Note that 'Whisky' - without the 'e'- refers primarily to Scotch. Pipes Magazine - A great all-rounder for pipe smoking enthusiasts. As well as pipes, they also cover various brands of tobacco, events, and accompanying drink. Some of things are kinda kitsch- but it's nonetheless fun. Smoking Pipes - More focused than the above. Pipes and tobacco. That's it. Good for the avid collector. Foreign Policy - One of my main sources of news. Tonnes of great and insightful articles. The Blueprints - A little off track, but I find it pretty damned cool. If you've been the kid who never read instructions for Transformers or Legos- this will likely be of interest. And here's some good accompanying music whilst browsing these sites.

Before the stem broke, the old army 21 was my favourite pipe. It has a really deep bowl for its size.It felt like I would always get about double the omega could hold. Had a nice metal windguard too,and a flat bottom so I could set it down without a stand. I am get get some super glue and fix the stem, but I probably will just order another eventually

Edit: Also, i forgot to ask this Pumpjack but do you smoke your pipes with a filter inside or without? I smoke without one.

I don't buy filtered ones.

If I'm gonna have bad habits, by golly I'm gonna do 'em right.

Good man
