    Joe Nelson Panel #4 of the 7 North American Panel Set

    I just received my Joe Nelson panel ( Old Nellie Pipes). His shaping and his take on the panel is absolutely perfect. The proportions and design of this panel show his level of craftsmanship.I had the first smoke in it and it is going to be a dedicated Va/Per pipe. Joe was great to work with and...

    Taking Advantage of the Dip in the Euro

    I noticed the Euro is quite low vs. the dollar ( 1.16 $ / 1 euro) so I hit up some of the known Italian websites. I found if you order in dollars they do not have a favorable exchange but if you order in Euro your credit card may have the correct rate. I was able to grab two pipes for at least...

    Nothing Like a Few Boxes When You Get Home

    Besides my pair of Layton brandies; I experienced a little PAD last week . I grabbed a new Becker from SP , and a barely smoked Jody Davis from ebay. I have to say that it is hard to decide what one to smoke first. Now I have to slow down and save for Chicago.

    Clark Layton Panel - #3 of the 7 Panel Project

    For my third commission I went with Clark Layton on the advice of a fellow forum member. I asked him for a size 5 panel with thick walls and a cumberland stem. I am very happy with the result. The blast is great , and the draw is perfect . The stem starts at a diamond and then transitions to a...

    I am in the middle of commissioning 7 panel pipes from 7 different North American carvers. This is pipe 2 ( in order of delivery ) I had a lot of fun working with Bruce, he really seems to enjoy his work and he likes doing panels so that was a big plus.

    Wayne Teipen Liverpool Panel Commission

    I decided to commission 7 Panels from 7 different North American pipe makers. Wayne was one of my first choices since I loved his work when I saw him in Chicago. Also Wayne is a fellow nurse so that helped. I have had this pipe for 2 weeks now and I have put some Dunhill Flake and some London...

    My First PAD

    My first new Castello , and a 1976 barely used estate panel. I have to say the first smoke form the Castello confirmed what everyone says about them - the briar does add a sweet taste to the initial smoke. I am seriously tempted to go to the Chicago Pipe show but I am sure it will cost me . Link
