    My New, Old, Classic Cassette-Deck

    As someone who came to audio adulthood in the 1970s I have always been a fan of the cassette. Compact and reusable, they allowed me to record the music that I loved in the order that I wanted. My first deck was a Sony with Dolby B noise-reduction, and its audio quality was good. Somehow...

    The Marxman Bug Bites Again!

    Today whilst perusing an antique mall, I happened upon a tray containing three estate smooth-finish billiard pipes. Two were the usual mall dogs, but the third looked like quality. Upon closer examination I saw the familiar Marxman logo, noted that although it was old and somewhat grimy, the...

    JOST Pipe

    A number of years ago I purchased on eBay what I thought was a Jost's (Saint Louis, Missouri) silver-banded billiard pipe. When it arrived I found that it was actually stamped "JOST," not "JOST'S." There was no other stamping on the pipe. Further, it appeared to have been dip-stained, as...

    Ed James - The Rest of The Story

    Some of you may recall the tragic death of Forums member Ed James (ejames) which resulted from a fire in his Missouri home in 2017, and that a relative was subsequently arraigned on felony charges of first-degree arson and first-degree murder. I was always curious as to whether the relative was...

    A Question for georged

    Never being one to be above doing something stupid, recently I waxed a beloved, old, Dunhill Shell Briar LB pipe, (Group Four size), then warmed the wax with a hair-dryer to help it it disperse evenly and absorb. I've done this in the past on a number of my pipes with nary a problem, but this...

    Love at First Puff

    In the more than 30-years that I have been collecting and smoking pipes, the marque Davidoff somehow simply failed to appear on my acquisition radar. That changed approximately 10 days ago when I began to search for one of their Red Brilliant-finish models. I found a shape number 200 listed as...

    Calculating The Heat of Compression

    With regard to the Titan submersible disaster, it never occurred to me that heat would be generated by the compression implosion. I believe that the degree (pardon the pun) of heat may be calculated as follows: T1* (17/1)^0.4 = T2 This is the inlet temperature * by the compression ratio ^...

    My New/Old Marxman Benchmade Pipe

    After reading BriarLee's informative and entertaining threads about Marxman pipes, and how much he enjoys them, I finally decided to add one to my collection. It is an estate Benchmade with a fishtail bit and, interestingly, it has a stinger. This pipe also sports a beautiful combination of...

    Your Recent Interviews of Marc Dion and John Brandt

    Brian: I just listened to your interviews of Fall River, Massachusetts residents Marc Dion and John Brandt, in that order, and then realized that Mr. Brandt had to be the model for "John 'Bear' Bauer," proprietor of The Old Firehouse Smoke Shop in Mr. Dion's Mill River stories as featured in...

    Estate James Upshall - First Smoke

    A few years ago I purchased from Pipestud an estate James Upshall pipe, an apple-shaped freehand (FH) with a saddle bit, and which includes the stamps "A" and "Ex.L". This is the largest pipe in my collection, as I tend to favor bowl sizes equivalent to Dunhill's Group Three and Group Four. By...
