    Metal Shank Bands

    Hey, you know those metal bands they often put on meerschaums? They really strengthen the shanks, it would appear. I don't want to go into detail, but let's just say that this pipe was severely stressed at the stem/shank junction, and I was incredulous that there was no damage or loosening...

    Aw, gee, George!

    Just when I was starting to like you, after acquainting myself with some of your opinions--some even valid, some even yours--on YouTube and other places... I'm gettin' tired of guys who smoke pipes. When are they gonna outlaw this shit? Guy with a fuckin' pipe! It's an arrogant thing to...

    Friggin' Cossacks, man!

    Local pipe club meeting, somewhere in Russia.

    Prince Albert Cans

    Research paper (not mine), a brochure in PDF form. Probably posted before now, but just in case anyone interested hasn't seen it. One or two of these cans, I forget which, go for crazy money according to an article I read in The Pipe Smoker's Ephemeris years ago. Do You Have Prince Albert in a...

    Tabaccheria Corti?

    I'm getting the ol' FORBIDDEN page what I attempt to connect to this site. Been that way for several days. That's using both the link here and directly. Anyone else? Are they belly-up?

    Die-Hard Pipe Smoker

    Wonder if he was smoking his pipe at the time of impact? C’est ci n’est pas une pipe - https://www.thechicane.com/2011/09/02/cest-ci-nest-pas-une-pipe/

    Perfect Meerschaum

    Perfect for me, that is. No idea where your tastes lie. I'd have bought this pipe in a heartbeat if it were not for one thing. Whoever put the "embellishment" on the shank, seemingly as a demented afterthought, should have the sh*t slapped out of him. I do not understand the almost militant low...

    Wood Match Annoyance

    Anyone else notice the piece of match head that always flies off every match when you strike it? They always land on my keyboard or clothes or some other awkward place. Probably not a problem for someone smoking outdoors, or whoever doesn't use matches, but I much prefer wood matches over...

    Broadway London Style?

    Anyone know anything about this brand name? I don't, but bought it anyhow. Judging by the name, it seems like it could be either British or American. Or from anywhere else, for that matter. I need another straight billiard like I need a hole in the head, but the pipe looked so perfect (for my...

    Song of Destiny

    Heh. Stumbled across this while surfing my internet connections on this fine Sunday morning. Made me fire up a briar, not my usual practice until after lunch or a heavy breakfast.

    Castello & IMP Meerschaum

    Would love to love ya', but your shapes really suck. I've been looking for years for one of either that had a shape that I could stomach, but so far have come up short. Think I'll end the effort. Makes life simpler, and will add days, in effect, to the remainder I have left on earth. Au revoir...

    A Ripping Good Time

    ...was had by all. And nobody was killed on location. Thought this was interesting for the pipe smoking in a movie trailer, no less, to say nothing of the movie itself. Haven't watched it yet, but will. Obviously one of the greatest movies ever made, and Mr. Van Cleef, I understand, is god-like...

    Jordan Fans Only

    Last time I looked, the bidding was around $1200 U.S., somewhat more than my $3.29 limit for specimens of this type. I realize that I'm passing up a great investment opportunity, but if anyone here wants to jump in and reap the reward, it will warm the cockles of my heart, whatever that means...

    Gold

    In 1927, you could buy a nice new Ford for twenty $20 gold pieces. And in 2021, you can buy a nice new Ford for twenty $20 gold pieces. I don't know, Pat. I can't figure it out.

    Meerschaum Coloring: Bogus?

    Thought I'd start a possible fight, not having anything better to do. Does meerschaum actually color, or is it just the wax? Has anyone ever sliced a meerschaum bowl in half, just to see? My interest is purely academic, since I handle my one meerschaum the same as I do any other pipe and don't...

    Warning Peel-Offs

    Anyone know why these obnoxious warnings currently on tobacco cans and pouches can't be made to peel off? They are completely useless to begin with. Everyone over the age of ten knows the anti-smoking litany. The warnings are obviously meant to annoy, not inform. I loathe the mentality that...

    Buescher's Cob

    From Missouri Meerschaum's Facebook page, about a month ago: "We are proud to announce the BWC 2021 #3 The Vintage Treasure! This Vintage Treasure is a vintage bowl from Buescher’s Pipe Company that has been given a hardwood insert in the bottom. The hardwood shank is fitted with a nickel band...

    SPC 20th Anniversary Peterson Pipes

    What? These sold out in one day? They made 80 of them. Wish I hadn't hesitated. These blasts, in my opinion, are better than most Shells today.

    Howdy from the Finger Lakes

    ...of upstate New York. Interesting site. Thought I'd join in occasionally, although most subjects seem pretty well covered by current members. Will have been smoking pipes in 2024 for 60 years. If I get there. Which I have every intention of doing--I'm a mere lad of 73, looking a very youthful...
