    DFW Pipe Club

    You should totally get in on the club pipe! It's a good price on a small, well-made, portable pipe. I'm really looking forward to getting mine in hand!

    Bleach and Stingers?

    Thanks guys! The stinger i pretty clean already so I'm not worried about cleaning it up, it's just an issue of oxidation on the vulcanite. I've had good luck with a combination of weak bleach solution followed by a magic eraser. I'll coat the stinger and threads in vaseline, though - that's a...

    Bleach and Stingers?

    Recently picked up an estate and am cleaning it up but it's got a ton of oxidation on the stem. Usually I give stems a bleach bath to get the worst of the oxidation off... ... but this one's got a stinger in it. Is it safe to give stems with a stinger a soak in the bleach solution? Love this...

    Lone Star Pipe Club (DFW) Meetup - THIS THURSDAY!

    We do generally meet on Thursdays but we're discussing adding in some weekend meetups. There's a lot of interest in that so we're gonna figure out how to make it happen. It would allow us to do cookout meetups or whiskey pairing meetups as well... and that sounds awesome to me!

    College Station, TX?

    Thanks, Gigger48. It's a sandblasted panel billiard stamped "Piccadilly" and inherited from my grandfather. I've never had any success tracking down any info on the maker but it's a great pipe. Better pictures here...

    College Station, TX?

    Thanks, man. They're just a short walk from my hotel. Do you know if they cater to pipes at all? I only see cigar stuff on their website and Facebook pages...

    College Station, TX?

    Alright, brothers. Question for the Texas members: I'm going to be in College Station (home of Texas A&M) this weekend and was wondering if there was a legit pipe/cigar shop in the area. I'm looking for a place to have a pipe (the hotel is 100% non-smoking) and chill. Anyone familiar with the...
