    Basks Tobaccos?

    Hi guys, I know it’s been a while since I last posted, but been dealing with a long awaited move from NY to CA, and during that time and the months leading up to it a lot of stuff has gone down. Namely, the McClelland Company is no more. Now it’s not that I didn’t know it was coming, I guess you...

    Hudson Valley, NY??

    Hi guys, I've recently changed duty stations from North Carolina to Poughkeepsie NY, looking for some good smoke buddies in the Hudson Valley area. Unfortunately, the Marines don't give me a heck of a lot of time to pay attention to my pipe but it's always nice to find like-minded folks that can...

    Falcon Restore

    Good morning guys, I picked this falcon up a long time ago for next to nothing...for obvious reasons. Now I'm planning to do what I can to restore it, however I honestly don't even know where to start with an aluminum pipe. Either way I am sure between the wealth of knowledge on this site and...

I plan to refinish the pipe and take away some residue and add some shine back to the piece. I aslo picked up some bowls (probably for a Falcon), my question is, Is there a way to "adjust the...

I currently own 15 pipes, so i want to make something that can hold the 15, nothing more at this time. I work with aircraft aluminum, just wondering if you guys can think of...

    My newest addition, any ideas?

    So I know it isn't a Falcon or Viking, but I found a metal frame pipe on eBay as I was scrolling this morning. For 16.00$ it wasn't a bad grab. I have plans to clean it up, probably refinish the bowl or just clean it up. Anyway, it's called an Arcadia Stirling. Apprarently from the research I...

    Vintage blends?

    I've been lurking around on eBay for some good accents to my pipe cabinet project I have in the works. Planning on trying to find a few manufacturer pipe sale poster and vintage tobacco tins. Then I began to wonder, are any of these blends still around? I've seen half and Hal's and prince Albert...

    Why Pennsyvania??

    I'm sure there is a logical reason to it, but I've noticed all the big name Cigar and Pipe companies are usually based out of Pennsylvania, there must be a reason, lower taxes on tobacco? Good tobacco farms?? Anyone have an idea?

    Pipe cleaner question

    This may be a bit redundant, but I have two types of pipe cleaners, a bristled type and regular, my question is, does it matter when I use one over the other? Or are they interchangeable? I assume the bristle is for the deep clean, and the fluffier one is for taking care of a gurgle, am I right...

    Mac pictures

    I'm sure i may catch some flak for this, but I've searched the forums for adding pictures to forum postings. I've had luck with the avatar, but no such look in the way of posting a picture as such on the actual posts. Any ideas for Macs? I have pictures i'd love to post to contribute to the...

    B & B tobacconists (Asheville, NC)

    Wow! A definite must stop if in the Western NC area. As soon as I walked in, it seemd a bit small with little selection, but they make up for it in personality and service. The guys were amazing, willing to do whatever was needed to help in anyway he could. They have a main room in which there...
