Kendal Flake
I just ordered some from what was left of the G&H drop last week. Check out the flakes: I'm about to buy a new phone, so maybe my pics won't be blurry in the near future.- gerryp

And Now, For Something Completely Different...
So...I wanted to practice drilling and rusticating without spending a bunch of money (Thanks to Covid shutdowns for our 18k/year pay cut). As usual, I found my solution in the aisles of Home Depot. Combined with the DIY mentality of the ol' lady and myself, I managed to make a decent pipe, if I...- gerryp

Anyone Know About This Restored Bulldog?
Here's my latest fixxer-upper from the box o estate pipes sent by Mother. It was in ok shape, just a blackened and slightly misshapen rim, a stinger that had probably never been cleaned, and some nicks and scratches. I'm no authority on stingers, but this one seemed unusual. I guess it would... -
First Pipe From Scratch
Previously, I posted pics of the first pipes I carved, both from Vermont Freehand kits. Emboldened by my recent Craigslist purchase, a Craftsman 12" drill press for $100, I ordered an undrilled plateaux block, a bit of Delrin, and a little Cumberland rod, then made this one from the ground up...- gerryp

GBD From Dear Old Mum
I should say my mom found it in a box of pipes and stands she bought in an auction and recently sent to me. It included a nice MM freehand on a plaque. Next on the list was this French-made GBD. "GBD Universe" is stamped on one side, "1352" (the shape) on the other. Below are before and after... -
Unexpected Cob Gift
My mom, surprisingly, bought a bunch of pipes and pipe stands at an auction years ago. Long story short, she mailed them to me and I received them today. There were some interesting things in the box, in various conditions ranging from "not too bad" to "ew". There was a GBD, a Yellow Bole, a... -
Pipe Number 2 with Pics.
About a year ago I posted pics of the first pipe that I carved. I didn't use any power tools except for applying carnauba wax. Recently, after finally regaining feeling in my hands, I ordered another block (a plateau this time) from Vermont Freehand. The only difference this time was using my...- gerryp

Netflix Alert: "Norsemen"
Season 3 just came out. If you haven't seen it, it's a comedy show about Vikings. If your sense of humor is dry and dark, you'll like it. "Toast of London" is another good one.- gerryp

Basket pipe remodel
I was in Daytona Beach last summer without a pipe, figuring I wouldn't miss it. I was wrong, so I stopped in a local tobacco shop and picked up a $30 basket pipe. It was dark maroon with some kind of lacquer, and the grain was pretty much invisible. The bottom and rim were rusticated. "Albanian... -
I Decided to Try Maltese Falcon...
EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) ...and I think it has some type of addictive substance in it, probably crack, due to the fact that I have trouble removing the pipe from my mouth once I start a bowl. It's my new all-time absolute favorite this week. :D Any other Falconheads out...- gerryp

My First DIY Pipe
A few weeks ago I ordered a bent ebauchon pipe kit from Vermont Freehand. I've given cobs facelifts and done some minor restoration and reshaping of briar pipes, but this is the first pipe I've carved from scratch except for the pre-drilled holes. I decided to make a cherrywood, since I like...- gerryp

Peterson Tobacco Tin Dating
Recently I picked up a tin of Peterson Balkan Delight that has an older-style label on the front. The back label has a 4 letter code "TCPEBD", which looks like one used by Kohlhase and Kopp but doesn't match up with any of their other codes. I was trying to determine the production date, but...- gerryp

Nice MM cobs are back in stock
If anyone is interested, MM has their Charles Towne Cobbler and Carolina Gent pipes back in stock. I have the Cobbler and it's my favorite pipe, so I ordered a Gent. Both have acrylic stems. $23.99 apiece which is high for a cob, but you'd pay more for a Country Gentleman and a Forever stem...- gerryp

Top secret MM cob!
OK, maybe it's not a secret but it is hard to find it on their site. I stumbled upon this pipe a couple weeks ago while Googling stuff. It's the Black Pipe Smokers Pipe of the Year, apparently made for that club to the specs of one of the members. It has the large 5th Avenue bowl and a total... -
Johnny Walker White Walker?
I saw this in a store today and was wondering if anyone here has tried it. It says "The new blend is best served ice cold, inspired by the White Walkers beyond The Wall." Ice cold Scotch??? I don't mind that it's a little gimmicky with the color-changing bottle and all (I'm a GoT fan), but ice...- gerryp

Hello from SE Louisiana
I've been lurking around here for a while and decided that I should be a little more social. My pipe smoking career started roughly 20 years ago. It was cut short by the traumatic loss of my pipe collection during a move. I didn't have that many, but there were several Petes including a Sherlock...- gerryp
