    PAD By Way of Scott Thile

    I had the privilege of meeting master piano technician and magnificent pipe carver extraordinaire Scott Thile at this year’s St. Louis Pipe Show. I desperately wanted to purchase a pipe from his collection but I had spent all my tokens (and then some) earlier in the day. Despite this Scott gave...

    Cold Hands and a Warm Pipe

    During the early stages of my pipe smoking I posted here frequently. I am truly joyed at the prospects that some of my briar forum mentors may remember who I am and if not thats ok too. Six years in and in some ways I still consider myself new to the hobby. I could easily make this post about...

    The Name is Tobacco But You Can Call Me....

    Here at Pipesmagazine Forum the collective sum of years of smoking pipe experience must be well into the centuries. When faced with a question there are few more qualified places to bring it. People's pipe smoking processes can be fundamentally changed through the provided answers to important...

    Pipe Family Portrait

    My daughter blessed me this morning with inquiring about my (short) pipe history. Over coffee we had the delight of recounting how I acquired each one of my pipes, a bit about them and their back stories. They wound up all nicely laid out on the table and I couldn't resist feeling sentimental...

    I find myself overnighting in Dallas and as I approach the city I wonder where one might find a Dallas-based B&M. Any and all suggestions are welcome! j/B

    Ebay "Reserves"

    This community is loaded with both Ebay buyers and sellers, and quite a few who are both. In the past I have heard a couple of folks speak about pipe sales with a set reserve price. Here is my question. Say a pipe sale's current bid is $300 and has a hidden reserve set at $350. Bidder "A" makes...

    An Elephant May Never Forget...

    Ringling Bros has announced plans to reduce and ultimately eliminate its use of elephants by 2018. I have very mixed feelings. Ultimately for me it is a loss. I think the industry could have improved living and working conditions for these amazing animals while weathering the current storm of...

    Greens Other than Tobacoo Leaves

    Tobacco is a plant that we have a storied history of cultivating, curing, smoking and enjoying. Far before the proliferation of tobacco was the dedication to consuming fruits and vegetable. In 2010 the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) spent $500,000 towards research to lay out...

    Can Someone Tell Me Why This Isn't a Canuck

    I came across this modest but handsome pipe here at SmokingPipes.com. I am puzzled at their labeling this pipe an "oval shanked Billiard" and then note it as a Billiard in the description towards the bottom of the listing. How is this pipe not considered a Canadian? j/B

    Time Machine Adventures

    In the Valentines Day thread condorlover1 suggested the idea of the use of a Time Machine. mcitinner1 quickly responded with what his time machine would be used for and just like that we have a fascinating thread concept. TO avoid the derailing of the original post I offer the following: With...

    'Brushed with Generosity

    Really though, how fortunate are we all to be in such fine company? The stories keep coming forth of kindness and generosity. It’s now my honor to embarrass Sablebrush52. He has earned it. This week he sent me tins of Hearth & Home WhiteKnight, Wessex Campaign Dark Flake, Fribourg & Treyer...

    A possible EBay learning opportunity

    I own a small collections of briar that I love. I go through estate offerings mainly to educate myself so when the pipe I actually want comes available I'll be ready, knowledge intact. While looking through Ebay Dunhill auctions, I came across what I believe to be a great learning opportunity...

    Pipe Lapel Pin and Silent nods

    In a thread started a month ago, BulldogBriar mentioned seeing a man in the airport with a pipe in his mouth. Quickly the discussion turned to the idea of having an identifying token that would silently tell the world (and more importantly each other) that we smoke a pipe proudly. A lapel pin...

    4* and 5* Ferndowns

    I am a fan of Les Wood's, Ferndown Pipes. I am also a fan of Maxim Engel and his site, Pipes2Smoke.com. He sent out an emailer today showcasing a brilliant take on the modernization of pipe sales (I would be remiss if I didn’t mention his short essay as it was excellent) as well as some updates...
