    C&D Old and New

    I was recently chatting with a forum member and we were reminiscing a bit about being able to call Patty and Craig to place orders and chat. Wondering if anyone has noticed changes in blends after the transition to Smoking Pipes? We all know crops change from time to time, but in general...

    Bulging Tin Question- Hal 'o' the Wind

    Title rephrased and removed all caps.- jpm Back in '03 I purchased 4 ounce tins of Hale o the Wynd and some others. The tins are now (19 years later) bulging quite a bit, which is good. But I'm concerned they may blow which would be bad, because they sit in a cellar and I don't check on them...

    Removing Wax from a Craggy Pipe

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob A friend of mine gifted me a dunhill with a blast finish. I think it was treated with carnauba wax which has filled in some of the most craggy areas, and I am meticulously and slowly removing the wax with a sharp wood toothpick. I wonder if...

    Introduction

    Greetings all, I’m a pipe and tobacco collector for many years, having started around ’99 or 2000. Started learning on alt.pipesmokers (a google group maybe…I do not remember). First pipe was a Peterson Canadian purchased from David P. Erlich in the original store, but it took forever to break...
