    Finally Collected a 7-Day Set of Loewe Pipes

    Hello Gentlemen I humbly submit these old Barling Bulldog's for your expertise. Both just arrived in a lot from the UK with pipes from the Ben Wade Leeds Era. The one that looks nearly new has the arched "BARLING'S MAKE" logo on one side, and "EL" on the other side. Those are the only...

    Loewe Straight Grain Bulldog

    This just in. My first Loewe Straight Grain! I've been collecting Loewe pipes for a couple of years, but this is the first Straight Grain stamped one I've seen in the flesh. According to Cake and Dottle, these didn't appear until the 1950s. I think he's right, as the Loewe Packet information...

I could hardly believe that we had some good sense...

    New Hotness

    This beauty came in the mail today. It's a Jorgen Larsen and it speaks to my soul. Apparently he only made about 100 pipes a year. I don't know if I can bring myself to smoke it. It came from Marty Pulvers, whose company used to import Jorgen Larsen's pipes to America. I can't wait to...
