    Very cool pipe - How much would you offer?

    Ran across this a few minutes ago http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trevor-Talbert-Halloween-Pipe-Birds-Eye-Blood-Red-Stem-/161347805318?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2591142086 Listed for 3k with best offer. How much would you offer for this pipe?

    Ebay auctions with reserve

    Mike, I noticed your use of the adjective "whining". I've read all the posts and don't see any "whining". I see people expressing their opinions. You, of course, are free to express yours and to sell pipes any way you want. My original thought was simply that having a reserve defeats the...

    Ebay auctions with reserve

    Browsing for pipes I ran across this listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/W-O-LARSEN-PIPE-SMOOTH-STRAIGHT-GRAIN-GROUP-3-WOL001-NEW-Special-Auction-/151346658306?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item233cf6bc02 Starting bid is $1.00 but when I read the description, I saw "reserve not met". I hate auctions...

    The Dying Art of Manliness.

    Being a "man" has nothing to do with all the skills mentioned above. Those things are good to know regardless of gender. It has been my experience that men are more likely to see things in absolute Good/bad terms and not be so in tune to what may be referred to as "shades of gray". At this...

    Favorite Burley Blends???

    I like Boswell's Burley. From their web page " Created by J.M. April 2007 - A carefully balanced blend creating a mild but full bodied flavor. A Kentucky Burley ripened to the fullest flavor. This is a winner with our customers, no other Burley like it!"

    Sometimes It Is Hard

    Very interesting but it doesn't sound like anything I would like to try. I learned a long time ago, if you have frequent tongue burn, you're probably trying to smoke the wrong end of the pipe.

    Two Peterson #53 Lovat Pipes

    That's one heck of a good job. Love the grain. What did they look like before you restored them?

    Pipes made from wood other than briar

    Other than meerschaum & cob, all my pipes are briar. I'd be interested in hearing about your experience with pipes made from wood other than briar. One thing I've noticed is that they are less expensive than briar pipes.

    Why is it that...

    Every group seems to develop it's own language? Here in this forum we talk about "PAD" & "TAD", about "room notes" & "cellaring" instead of just writing "I like to buy pipes" "this tobacco smells good" or "I stock up on tobacco" Every forum has a "sticky" with commonly used abbreviations. Is...

    Would you spend $11,000.00 for this,,,

    Last week I asked if you'd spend $1,700.00 on a Freehand, sculpted style artisan pipe and the responses were very interesting. This week, up for discussion is http://www.ebay.com/itm/150894828622?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT This pipe has been listed for quite...

    Looking for First Churchwarden

    http://www.boswellpipes.com/ Boswell makes great churchwardens, reasonably priced and they often include a 2nd stem.

    Does Anyone Really Smoke With The Stem Like This?

    Not only does that look way cool but there's no chance an ember would blow out of the bowl and right into the guys eye....oh wait, that's exactly what happened to a friend of mine. I suppose there's always a price to pay for being fashion forward. On the. Plus side, you can keep watch to make...
