    Just got to Tennessee...

    Can you think of a better place to enjoy a few bowls?

    Pete Prevost Volcano With a Bruce Weaver Blast

    This little volcano came up on one of my saved eBay searches last week. I won the auction yesterday and picked up this pipe for a pretty reasonable price: I wasn't sure who Pete Prevost was before finding this pipe. From what I found it looks like Pete made pipes on his own from 2011 to...

    Shalom Pipe Factory Alpha Canadian

    After seeing some of the new Canadian acquisitions posted in Pipe Talk over the last few weeks I've been looking for a reasonably priced Canadian. I found this pipe: It's an estate pipe. An Alpha Magnum from the Shalom Pipe Factory. I don't know the date but from what I can see that factory...

    Olive Wood Pipe

    I had to run some extra equipment down to Chicago today so I was able to fit a few bowls in on my 2 hour drive each way. The olive wood pipe I picked up a few weeks ago is still performing nicely. I'm not sure if this is typical but even after running a half dozen bowls through it I still find...

    eBay Bid Retractions

    I just noticed this morning that almost every one of the pipes I'm bidding on or watching have multiple bid retractions on them. One auction is currently sitting at $100 with 6 total bids and 16 retractions. It's interesting that I can only see the retracted bids when viewing from my smart...

    Spring has arrived in Wisconsin!

    Enjoying a nice smoke in the backyard tonight. The grass is really getting green after the 3 inches of rain we received on Friday.

    Zippo Fuel Recommendations

    I picked up a zippo pipe lighter today as a backup for my Jifeng. I also picked up a can of Zippo premium fuel. During my first smoke I could taste the zippo fuel each time I had to relight and it was a pretty crappy taste. I switched back to my other lighter halfway through my first bowl...

    How do you properly celebrate a Badgers win?

    A smoke in the back yard with a 6,600 year old moretti bog oak poker and a Boswell's English blend. Go Badgers!

    Lingering Taste

    I’ve been smoking a few different English blends (from Boswell) for the last few days. It is my first experience with English blends and I must say I’m amazed at the different flavors that come out while smoking. It was a very pleasant surprise to find so much great flavor as I started...

    I just doubled the size of my pipe collection for $40!

    Just received my "grab bag" along with a shire cobbit from Missouri Meerscham today: I've never smoked a cob before. I can't wait to get home and try one out!

    Mastro Grandolfo Pipes

    Has anyone heard of Italian pipe maker Mastro Grandolfo? Here is his website. He has some very nice looking pipes, most under $200. I couldn't find anything about him searching the forums. Does anyone own one of his pipes? If so please let me know what you think of it. Thanks!

    Do you have March PADness?

    Is there such a thing as March PADness? If so I think I caught it. :D Here are a few new additions to my collection that I picked up in March: Mario Grandi Savenelli & Stanwell that I refurbished after purchasing Another Savenelli Legendary Saxon Churchwarden Pipe Pouch Moretti Bog...

    Mario Grandi Pipe Review (Picture Heavy)

    I picked up a small Mario Grandi pipe on eBay last week and thought I'd do a quick review. Before I bought the pipe I searched this forum for some information and also ran across a few reviews on YouTube. Most of the reviews said roughly the same thing, that Mario Grandi's are a decent pipe...

    Tobacco recommendations...

    I'm pretty new to pipe smoking pipes. I've tried a few new Lane Limited blends (BC-A and 1-Q) as well as a few Newminster blends. So far I'm a fan of the Lane Limited BC-A and 1-Q. I like the Newmister Blackberry Brandy. I'm not a big fan of the Newminster Vanilla Delight or the McClelland...

    My new Moretti Volcano Commission (picture heavy)

    After picking up a Moretti Volcano pipe a few weeks ago I have been working with Marco to make another custom volcano pipe for me. I sent him a picture of a volcano design I liked, we exchanged a few emails and within a week he created a true masterpiece for me. I couldn’t be happier with how...

    Question for any cold weather pipe smoking veterans....

    Sorry for posting another "newb" question. I'm a new pipe smoker from the Milwaukee area. We're in for some cold weather here over the next few days and I have a dumb question. I found a nice pipe/cigar friendly bar close to my house that I intend on frequenting on a regular basis while the...

    One month ago today...

    So I started smoking pipe exactly one month ago today. I joined the forum a few days later while researching a used pipe I purchased. I was greeted by lots of friendly people and received some great advice. I also was warned by several members about something called Pipe Addiction Disease...

    My new Moretti pipe

    I just ordered this new Moretti pipe: The volcano design is one of my favorites. I love the grain of the briar on the sides and especially like the birdseye on the bottom. Now I just have to wait a week or so for this to arrive from Italy.

    Too much apple?

    I stopped at the store tonight and found crown royal regal apple. Perhaps drinking that while smoking McClelland's fresh apple tobacco may be too much. 8)
