    Pleasant Surprise

    Being a college student I rarely get to go home except for holidays. Fortunately, it is Thanksgiving break so I finally got to come home. The last time I was here was at the beginning of the semester in August and I remembered that I had put a few tins away for cellaring. Well to my surprise...

    Buffer Setup Ideas

    Since delving deeper into pipe restoration I have decided that I want to rig up a basic buffing setup. My house mate works construction so I think between the two of us we can rig something up but we have no idea where to start. So I was wondering if you guys could post up pictures and an...

    My New Pipe Work Area

    I have always thoroughly enjoyed restoring estate pipes. In fact I used to restore them all of the time as some of you may remember. However, life got in the way and I stopped restoring for a while. I recently have gotten back into restoring but did not have a proper work area. The main...

    Has Anyone Smoked One Of These?

    I received a pipe like this one from my future father in-law today. I know it is not the first choice of pipe but I was wondering if anyone has actually smoked one before? From the little research I could gather I believe they are made from Cherry wood which should be a 'smokeable' material...

    Can Pipe Tobacco Flavor Change During Smoke?

    I had a bowl of GL Pease Lagonda tonight and I swear it changed flavors in the last third of the bowl. Before this point I thought it was an okay blend but once it reached the final third the blend really came together. I recounted this to my friend tonight and he states that pipe tobacco...

    Seasonal Smoker Stocking Up

    Well call me a weirdo, sell out, half-hearted pipe smoker, or whatever else but I tend to only smoke my pipes in the colder months haha. I just got back from stocking up on mason jars and placed am order online for some baccy. It feels good to be getting back into the swing of things. I tend...

    Pipe Ponderings - Don't Waste Your Life

    I thought I would share what I was thinking about as I smoked my pipe today. I have not edited it so it is pretty law. Also, as a disclaimer I am a Christian and it comes out in the writings somewhat. I don't want to get into a religious debate as that is not the purpose of this forum but PM...

    Walmart CEO Makes Average Workers Annual Salary Every Hour

    This article was written last year but it still is astonishing to me to see how much the CEO of Walmart is paid. In short, he is paid what the average Walmart worker makes in a year, roughly $13k, as his hourly wage. I bet if he was a pipe smoker he would have some damn good pipes and tobacco...

    New Artwork

    Maybe it is because I am getting my undergraduate in Psychology, but I have a fascination with contemporary art that looks like ink blots. I messed around in illustrator tonight and here are the pieces I came up with. I suppose I did a inverted ink blot as the majority of ink blots have a...

    Gifted Three Blends and a Cigar Bomb

    I received an inconspicuous oversized envelope from a fellow piper, from PipeChat.info, today. Earlier this week he said he was sending me a few samples. Ya right these are very generous portions and all are aged and have sugar crystals on them. Here is what he sent (if the baggies aren't...

    Computer Disaster Averted

    In honor of my 800th post (should be this one) I decided to share this with you all. Oh dear Jesus this scared me. I had just written, and was about to post, that I was smoking Captain Black White in a M. Y. Meerschaum Bent Bulldog. I then referenced my new purchase of a pound Zander Greg...

    Dan Tobacco - Shannon

    I have mentioned this in another thread but I bought a 5 year old tin of Dan Tobacco Treasures of Ireland Shannon last week on Ebay. My plan is to smoke this blend on my mother's birthday this May. Let me explain though, my mother passed away 9 years ago, when I was only 12, of pancreatic...

    Other Pipe Sellers Like Marty Pulvers?

    I don't want to undercut any of the advertisers for this website but I was wondering if there are any other online pipe sellers like Pulvers' Briar? Don't get me wrong, I love dealing with Marty but I was just wondering if there were more like him out there as he alludes to them on his website...

    Softy Bits

    I was wanting to buy some softy bits for my pipes (I believe that is what they are called) and I noticed some for pretty cheap on ebay. I was wondering if these look good or if you guys know where to buy some for a better price...

    Churchwarden - New Pipe or New Stem?

    I am wanting a churchwarden pipe. Would you guys suggest buying a whole new pipe or having a churchwarden stem made for one of my preexisting pipes? I have a few smaller lighter ones that I believe would be perfect. One of which is my Savinelli Bent Bob which is the same as their churchwarden...

    PAD - A Horror Story

    We have pretty much all experienced it and if not then you most likely will sometime in the near future. It is very frustrating and has been known to make a grown man or two cry, or at-least break their heart. What am I talking about? The one that got away. From time to time pipe smokers will...

    Shamlessly Promoting Group Project PSA

    I am shamelessly promoting a PSA I had to make for a group project. It is for a Marriage and Family Living class here at John Brown University. My group is the divorce group and we decided to make a PSA in support of premarital counseling before your second marriage. We need to get the word...
