    Is Your Tobacco Cellar Large Enough to Outlive You?

    Yes, absolutely. In two walk-in closets.

    It seems that pain of that experienced lingered for you, to judge by the name you've chosen as a forum handle. Lol.

    Pipes.org

    I remember the absurd over regulation and the tyrannical style. I endured it for quite a while because there were many postings and threads with interesting information. But when someone, I think it was Melvin, posted a short story about a magic pipe, I just left. I'll do anything for love...

    The Guildhall Canadian 296B

    I have a The Guildhall London Pipe 296 with the same stampings. These were so faded, apparently with over-buffing, that the seller mistakenly identified it as a TG London Pipe 58. With a jeweler's loupe one can clearly see the 296. It was sold to me as a pre-Cadogan and the stamping style...

    Best Estate Pipe Find

    A Comoy Blue Riband 126 pot/billiard and, a big surprise for me (perhaps it shouldn't have been), a Butz Choquin Supreme Extra hand made.

    TAD Purchases

    Having been highly impressed by their 20th Anniversary Blend, I've always wanted to try Smokers Haven's Exotique and Our Best Blend, but they were always out of stock by the time I got there. Until today. I just ordered two 2oz. tins of each and now entering the waiting for the mail stage of...

    What Is Your Favorite "Manly" Poem?

    Hurt Hawks I The broken pillar of the wing jags from the clotted shoulder, The wing trails like a banner in defeat, No more to use the sky forever but live with famine And pain a few days: cat nor coyote Will shorten the week of waiting for death, there is game without talons. He stands...

    Wilson hand made?

    I first dropped the picture into the frame, but then it disappeared. I inserted it via the url this time.

    Shiny Pipes on Ebay

    I've bought a large number of pipes from shinypipes over the space of many years. I'm happy with everything I purchased from that site and all was as advertised. The entire experience was always more than satisfactory. I'm not here to gainsay what anyone else has written or invalidate their...

    Wilson hand made?

    I just received this group 5 "Vintage Wilson 1960s hand-made" chimney/billiard. According to the seller's information, it was probably made in Colorado as a private gift, perhaps as a business promotion or token of appreciation. If that's correct then additional data would be nigh impossible...

    First pipe of the day and first bowl after breakfast is McClellands Red Cake 5100, in the Dr. Grabow Freehand.

    Pipes You Never Liked Before

    I've always preferred classic shapes and stayed away from freehands. Yet over time I've been able to find some freehands that imo retain some classic aesthetics, if that makes any sense. Now I have quite a few. Randy Wiley's Patina and Galleon line come to mind. The heart has reasons that...

    Have You Ever Had a Pipe Blend That Made You Feel Slightly Ill?

    The original Condor made me physically ill. And not slightly. It was a bona fide allergic reaction to the coumarin/tonka bean/whatever. I couldn't smoke anything for days and the toxic taste it provoked in me altered my palate also for a long time. I'll always remember it as ass, poison and...

    The Tobacco You Reach For Without Thinking

    When I don't want to think it through too much or agonize about choices, I usually grab a Sutliff blend like Match Revelation or Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend.

    Does this happen to anyone else?

    I have a smoke odor atomizer spray that targets tobacco smoke with enzyme interaction. If I spray it in the house while smoking a pipe - say, with a half-smoked pipe resting on the table - the baccy will just smell of the spray with not even a hint left of tobacco aroma at all. Those enzymes...

    Savinelli 320 ks

    All of mine as Savinellis (Rossi also makes this shape). I have a Trevi 320ks, a Fuoco 320 ks, a Hercules 320 EX, and a Tundra 320 EX. Not for clenching, particularly the EXs. Great smokers. All smooth finish. Love them all. Get one. My favorite is the Trevi, but they're all good.

    Your 4th of July Blends.....

    Tentatively mapping out bowls of Missouri Meerschaum Independence Day 2015, Peretti Tashkent and maybe Cuban Mixture 202.

    Can a pipe smoke well indefinitely ?

    I have a ridiculous number of pipes, bought in different eras and many of them are estate pipes. Most of the estates still smoke great. My oldest pipe that I bought when new is a Savory's Argyll 140 diplomat purchased in the early 1970s. It's still my favorite smoking pipe of all that I own...

    OMG...the most expensive pipe I have ever seen!

    I wouldn't buy any pipe so expensive that I wouldn't dare smoke it. Unless it also confers immortality and makes coffee in the mornings.
