    Can We Talk About Water Glass (Sodium Silicate)?

    I'll make this as short as possible. I have read many threads and some articles that describe the use of Sodium Silicate as a bowl coating, or for repairing bowls used as a pipe mud. I even bought a bottle of it several years ago but have been hesitant to ever use it. As a scientist, I was...

    RIP Robbie Knievel

    He was more talented than his dad IMO. I was fortunate to see Evil Knievel jump in the Astrodome in 1971 with my Dad... good memories.

    The Perfect Electric Buffer For Pipes?

    Ok, I know that many people here don't like to use, or recommend electric buffing wheel, and I fully understand the arguments of why they take this stand. Normal buffing wheels in the hands of the inexperienced can have tragic consequences, for the operator and or the item being polished. That's...

    Help Identifying Unknown Pipe Maker

    I came across this pipe for sale on the bay. I like the pipe, but I can't find anything anywhere in the digital world on a pipe maker named ERIKSSON apparently from Denmark. It sounds right, but I can't find anything on this, and from the 90's? ERIKSSON vintage pipa pipe 烟斗 '80 handmade in...

    Cornell & Diehl Small Batch - From Beyond

    So, I posted a bit ago about this amazing blend on "What Are You Smoking" and realize I got a bit winded on that thread. I should have been saying much of it here. So here is a bit of copy and paste for those that didn't see that thread, those that have ... carry on I've smoked 5 bowls of a...

    Any Jake Logan Slocum Fans?

    Back in the day, when times were simpler and people used to read real books, I used to enjoy reading westerns while I was sailing in the Merchant Marines. Zane Grey, Louis L'Amour are two that comes to mind. But being young, dumb, and full of fun I really enjoyed the Jake Logan Slocum series. I...

    Sirens and Howls

    Good morning. Earlier I was drinking my coffee, smoking my pipe, and pondering a question that I have ask myself a time or two over the last several years. What ever happened to dogs howling at police and emergency vehicle sirens? When I was a lad growing up in Houston, every time a siren...

    Ad Photo for Chicago Pipe Show

    I'm just curious... the Ad for the Chicago Pipe Show that appears on PipesMagazine at the home page ... it's a picture of a pipe on a desk with small pile of tobacco in front of it. I may be wrong, but that sure looks like a Greg Pease photograph. Anyone else seeing that?

    My Two New Neerups!

    I sold some aged tobacco tins on here and used the proceeds to buy a new Neerup pipe, but, why buy one when you can have two! I bought my first Neerup a month or so ago and have been really impressed with the pipe, it's looks, smoking ability, and most of all the price! So I decided to buy...

    The Most Famous Tacos in the World... and My Achilles Heel

    Nobody wants to know what's in them. They look sad and repulsive, and they're dirt cheap. From a self-subscribed Foodies point of view, they should never be bought, eaten or discussed. Never-the-less, there is an average of approximately 1,517,808. of them made sold and eaten every single day...

    Smoking Room Ventilation

    So, my oldest daughter, whom I live with, was complaining about the pipe tobacco smell that sometimes escaped my room. She's not looking for a better smelling tobacco... she want's no tobacco smell at all. I basically live in my room, and the kitchen. I always keep my door shut and try to...

    Do You Try New Blends in Different Pipes?

    When you try a new blend, and you don't really like it, or it's just "OK", how often do you try the same blend in all your other pipes, and how often do you end up with a good match? I'm curious because I really like GLP Chelsea Morning, but it only tastes great to me in one particular briar...
