    Quite Possibly One of the Best Purchases I'll Ever Make.

    I'd say a $37 Dunhill is one darn good find, sir! But thank you!

    As Long As I Have My Pipe

    Happy wife, happy life ;) I agree, as long as you have a pipe in hand, all is well :)

    Favorite Tunes While Smoking?

    I enjoy folk or smooth jazz. Soothing music ;)

    Lunting and Hunting

    Love it! I didn't get the chance to hunt any this year, but we have land out in a small town in MS, Port Gibson, and last year I hunted with a cherry vanilla blend made by our B&M and a rossi I had bought. Wonderful time just enjoying nature while waiting on a big 'ole buck :)

    haha glad to see others enjoy the purchase! :D Y'all are making me so excited for this pipe to come in! The hope is it'll arrive tomorrow.

    What Brought You To The Pipe?

    I love that so many of these stories involve family members or people grown up around, so neat! :) Keep 'em coming, guys! I love this.

    Quite Possibly One of the Best Purchases I'll Ever Make.

    love that pipe! Yeah, I don't know what the shape number is yet, but judging from those pictures, it is probably a 331. I've got 2 regularly-proportioned bulldogs, so this one that's a little more squat will be a welcomed addition to the collection!

    What Brought You To The Pipe?

    I know this has been posted on many times, but I don't feel like digging up an older topic. So, I just want to know what brought you to the hobby, and why you stick with it! For me, it was a 1 1/2 years ago, in September 2014. My buddies had picked up pipes from their dads, and they were going...

    Why Does a Wee Pipe Relax Us?

    nictotine, in smaller doses, both stimulates the brain and acts as a depressant, so-to-speak. When I did my research on this last year for a freshman paper, it tricks the brain by stimulating activity, yet allowing for a calming effect. Put that into a ritual of taking time, slowing down, and...

    Is There A Foreseeable End To Your Collection?

    I don't know. I've recently hit a quest for any and all nice (and maybe cheap if possible) English-made bulldogs, so we'll see. I have finally gotten to a point where all the pipes in my collection are pipes I don't think I could consider selling. So I've hit my first milestone! :)

    Looking For High Quality Aromatics to Try

    The McClelland blends I've tried are quite nice. I'll have to give the Boswell blends a try as well. I'll check out the GLP stuff as well!

    Quite Possibly One of the Best Purchases I'll Ever Make.

    I agree. A buddy of mine has an everyman's Canadian he got from his father, and it's a lovely pipe. VERY excited for this one!

    Quite Possibly One of the Best Purchases I'll Ever Make.

    I certainly hope so! I've recently been on a kick to find good English bulldogs. I have a Comoy's second #9 under the name Dunedin, and a meerschaum-lined Conway bulldog. I just find the bulldog shape so classic, and I associate it with the English pipes!

    Quite Possibly One of the Best Purchases I'll Ever Make.

    So I decided to go on a man hunt for antique pipes on random sites. I just happened to find a holy grail of sorts, for me. An Everyman's Comoy Pipe, what appears to be an oversized bulldog for a whopping $10! The pictures weren't good at all, but the store has a return policy, which, if I...
