    Aroma Inside without Smoking Inside

    Does anyone know of a clever way to get the room note of an aromatic inside the house without smoking in the house? Thanks!

    A New Poker

    Was searching Etsy for a sandblasted poker and came across a local maker. Reached out and found out he didn't really take requests, and wasn't a fan of pokers. That said, we exchanged emails about my thoughts and budget, and a few days later there was a dark blast poker with zebrawood and...

    Why Press Tobacco???

    Came across a couple vids yesterday showing tobacco being placed into a PVC tube, and then being compressed for a length of time to create a cake. What is the main purpose behind this process? Thanks joe

    Tiny Man Cave

    After organizing the sub-basement, I ended up with a roughly 6'x4' spot that I've taken over as my man cave. I shoot and reload a fair amount, so it's mostly a work spot for that, however, seemed like a good place to store some tobacco and maybe a few pipes, so picked up a small pallet from...

    "Flexible Angle" Pipe Stand

    Does anyone know where I can purchase the wire portion of a flexible angle pipe stand? I have a beautiful piece of walnut I'd like to add one to, but I can't seem to track one down. Thanks joe

    Rusticated Author

    Been thinking about one of these for quite some time, I really, really like this shape. Was outbid on a Rossi earlier this evening, but found another in much better condition at smokingpipes.com. Hopefully it'll show next week and will be placed atop a new pipe stand I'm working on :D

    Pipe Display - Work in Progress

    Been thinking this project through for several weeks, and have decided to get started. My intention will be to utilize disc and spherical rare earth magnets to get 4 pipes (not these) to "stand up" and be seen. The old walnut slab is something I salvaged from here in KC a few years ago, and...

    Smoking Outdoors

    I enjoy fishing from a kayak when the temps warm up. Thinking this year I'd like to bring a pipe along. Can anyone give me a good recommendation of some sort of "caddy" or "pouch" that's pretty small? I travel very light when I fish from a kayak, as there's not too much storage room...

    New Forever Stem

    A Phantom Gray "forever stem" was in my mailbox yesterday.....affixed it to an estate MM Washington I picked up from an estate lot on Ebay. I shortened the shank a bit, the stem is 2"......sorry for the phone pics :?

    Pressing Tobacco at Home

    I've been watching some tube videos about pressing tobaccos at home. I've seen various wooden and metal "boxes" being pressed by log splitters, bearing presses and C-clamps. The Dagner's appear to have the best contraption I've come across, basically a SS tube with a set bottom and a cap that...

    P&C Delivery

    Arrived home today to find a medium sized box on my porch. Small tin of Frog Morton Across the Pond, large tin of Frog Morton Cellar, 3oz of 1-Q and 8oz of a My Own Blend I called Graduation Day (a portion will be a gift for a soon-to-be grad)......I'm currently sanitizing Ball jars to get this...

    First smoke from a restored estate

    A few weeks back, I cleaned up a few estate pipes....a couple of which, I've turned into smokers. One of those is a Dr Grabow Duke bulldog.....with a pretty tiny bowl. Over the last few days, I picked up a couple Frog Morton varieties, and decided that I'd give one a try.....Frog on a...

    "My Own Blend" Help

    Hi Folks......I'd like to use P&C to put together "my own blend" as a graduation gift for my GF's son. I'm new to all this pipe smoking, and realize that a blend can go horribly wrong if the ingredients don't play well together. Here is my question....can anyone here give me some "general...

    I have PAD.....Damn Ebay!

    As you may have seen in my previous posts, I picked up several estate pipes from Ebay (my Mom found a few too). I bought some buffing wheels and cleaned most all of them up for display. Two I turned into "users". My shelf is full, and a few reside in a dresser drawer. Yesterday I came across...

    Shined up a few this weekend.......6 pics

    So Dave gave me the bug to clean up a few old pipes I'd recently received. Now these are nothing at all like the restorations Dave performed, his work is awesome. I basically just deoxidized the stems and polished everything up a bit. Here's the pipe lot I received this past week....not a...

    Pipe Haul

    About the same time I received a few ebay boxes of estate pipes to fill a display cabinet, I happened to read Dave's post about restoring a few pipes this winter......I think I might have the restoration bug now. Most of the pipes I received were not great, and will work nicely for "décor"...

    Display Shelf

    About 10 months ago, I cut a hole in my wall.....yep, just cut it right in there. It was roughly centered, but there was an angled stud in there cuz the wall makes a 45 degree bend around the corner....this threw me for a bit of a look. Anyhow, this evening, I decided to finally do something...

    Clear plastic display stand

    I was looking through some of the "show us your ______" threads last night and saw a few examples of a clear plastic (or acrylic) stand that was L-shaped and had a small hole for the bit at the top. Can someone tell me where to find these, some searching last night turned up nothing. Thanks joe

    First rough out

    After reading Anthony's post, I decided to grab a hunk of old walnut from the garage and see what I could make happen. This is a pretty rough attempt at a poker, with not much fore thought. It's pretty rough, but was actually functional. I've decided I drilled the draft hole too large, as it...
