    Magnetic Pipe Stems ?

    I've seen a lot of pipe makers lately attaching magnetic pipe stems. Does anyone here own one? Are there any downsides? Seems like a cool idea. ?

    Bowl Thread

    Basically a yes or no question, do grabow and falcon bowls have the same thread pattern? Are the bowls interchangeable?

    Riddle Me This...

    Just like most of you, I browse through different website's "estate" sections for a good deal or just something that I've never seen. So here's my question, Why are there so many estate cobs?? Is there a market for these? Please understand, I love a good cob. Am I not seeing some benefit...

    Dumb Cigar Question

    I like the thought of smoking a cigar, but the actual act is less than enjoyable. I have come to the conclusion that my issue is my lip's contact with the actual wrapper. So my question is, Do any "good" cigars come with those plastic or wooden tips, or are those just for the gas station...

    Stem Material

    Why don't manufacturers make stems out of a softer material like silicone? It's heat resistant, softer to the bite but rigid enough to hold shape and durable.

    Poor Wood Choice

    I've seen pipes made out of a variety of different wood. Are there any wood types that a strict no-no for pipe making? What makes them a poor choice? As I sit here, I wonder about the wood from a palm tree. Is it good for anything? ?

    My New Lighter. NSFW

    A picture is worth a thousand words. My wife says I can't display it where people can actually see it. I think it is the epitome of "conversation starter". Thoughts?

    Tub Or Not To Tub... That Is The Question

    Why are some tobaccos just not found in a tub or bulk? I know that I'm not the only one to be frustrated by this. My latest buy:

    My Revelation

    This weekend I was practicing my social distancing by goin on a nice bicycle ride. Long story short, I got in a bike accident. Nothing too serious. Some scrapes and cuts and twisted my knee. Later that night, I went to the ER. The pain was awful and for some reason even started to have a...

    Old Straight Razor

    Got my hands on this old straight razor recently and have been cleaning it up. Does anyone know anything about how to date these?

    Wasted Tobacco

    I have tobaccos that I don't like, but don't have enough to give away, or tobacco that's too dry to smoke. Do I just throw it away or does someone have an outside-the-box use like fertilizer or coffee additive or attic insulation or air freshener or... well, you get the idea.

    Pipe Chamber Volume

    Why are pipe chambers not identified or described by volume? Most sellers will show measurements and I'm sure if I was so inclined, I could math it and figure it out. Personally speaking, I want to know roughly how much tobacco will go in or how long a bowl may last. Why is there no...

    My Confession

    Please have a seat... Take a deep breath and prepare yourself... This is not something that I'm proud of, but it's part of me. It's the way I operate... *Sigh* So... I inhale. There, I said it. Not every puff but probably at least every other one. Stronger, harsher tobaccos, I inhale less...

    Out Of Stock

    Like I'm sure a lot of people do, I keep my shopping cart ready to go at smokingpipes.com. I just went and tried to add some Prince Albert before checking out. Prince Albert is "out of stock". What is this world coming to? I don't even know why we call these "over the counter", if there's no...

    What's the Appeal of a Churchwarden?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob I have to ask. It's just one of those pipes that doesn't do it for me.

    Tobacco App?

    So I might be asking for too much here, but is there a place to rate your experience with different tobaccos and maybe be able to see data on what your preferences are? Maybe it could even recommend blends by what you like and how others rate it? Am I just wishing? I know all the old timers...

    Savannah, GA Ye Olde Tobacco Shop

    I'm heading up to Savannah tomorrow for my brother's 40th. "Ye Old Tobacco Shop" is walking distance from my hotel. I'm definitely going to take a look. Has anyone been to this shop? Online reviews are decent, but nothing that blows you away. Pictures show an okay pipe selection and even...

    Pipe Stand Blueprints

    I am not at all what one would consider a woodworker or Craftsman, but I feel like I can measure and cut wood and maybe even screw or nail things together. The pipe stands that I have seen for sale seem pretty expensive. Does anyone have plans or a picture of a simply made pipe rack? I'm...
