    Another Ropp Headed My Way

    I succumbed once again. This makes my fifth Ropp - two Vintage, two Vintage Superior, and one Etudiant.

    Dreaming About Pipe Tobacco

    In this dream last night, I was outdoors, and suddenly a tin of tobacco rolled by and stopped. Of course I picked it up. In the dream, the label was very clear, but that has faded, although I do recall it being an open tin of a Va/Per that I had in rotation - which is unusual, since I don't...

    Another Ode To Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint

    Some of you may recall my thread about a Kaywoodie bulldog that I was unable to get apart. I mentioned that if the freezer method did not work, I would take it to Paul's. Today I finally did so. I also took a Sasieni 4 dot Liverpool that I had purchased, just to check out Sasieni, that I had...

    Another Ropp Vintage On The Way

    When I did my taxes online this year, I got the news that I was supposed to get a nice refund from the state. Of course I started shopping for a new pipe. Had some ideas, but never pulled the trigger - was waiting for the refund to show up. Then I got a letter from the state Treasury Department...

    This Darned Kaywoodie Won't Come Apart!

    Some of you may recall me posting about acquiring my first bulldog, a Kaywoodie. Been smoking it regularly, running cleaners through it, and would like to take it apart for a thorough cleaning. When I give the usual gentle turn. the silly thing will not budge! I'm reluctant to force it, for...

    Two New Ones On The Way

    I had purchased a Pete Christmas 701 earlier. I like the looks of that so much that I decided I needed a 103. And while I was at it - I have a Ropp Vintage that I really like - the horn stems really appeal to me - so I got this Vintage Superior. Looking forward to their arrival, and breaking...

    Merry Christmas To Me Very Early

    I have a Peterson Tankard, from the Specialty series, that is a great flake pipe - but I don't really care for the P-lip - I clench too much for those to be good for me. So when I saw these, I grabbed one: It's en route.

    Just Pulled the Trigger On This Kaywoodie

    This is a Kaywoodie Custom Grain from Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint. Custom Grains were made from 1960-1971. I would not be surprised if Paul Spaniola bought it back then. Got it during their 94th Anniversary sale. It's my first bulldog.

    Shout Out to Iwan Ries For Great Service

    I put in a small order with these folks Friday afternoon. The order arrived in Monday's mail. Couldn't ask for anything faster than that.

    I Bought My First Sasieni Today

    A little family-era billiard. Probably would not get a collector excited, but I've never had one, sooo... My Sasieni

    Farewell to an Old Companion

    Somewhere around 2004 I discovered Murdock's Pipe by McCranie. This is a blend that never got a whole lot of notice - it only has 15 reviews at Tobacco Reviews - but it just sat perfectly with me. It smoked especially well in an old Stanwell brandy with a 3/4 bend and a saddle-stem, and I...

    A Gift from Weezell

    A little story, first: When I picked up my pipe again, in the early part of this century, after a number of years on cigars, one thing I did was visit a number of what John Patton refers to as "the American Classics". (I had never smoked these before.) The first ones, purchased, appropriately...

    Revisiting an Old Comrade

    Perusing a thread earlier today, there was a reference to Whitehall pipes. I've got an old Whitehall quarter bent, sandblasted Dublin- it's the pipe in my mouth in my forum av. It has been out of rotation for some time, now. I decided to revisit it. I dug it out, and took it with me, loaded up...

    WV Smokeshop

    I want to give a kudos to these folks. I ordered that Kaywoodie Fine Line I mentioned elsewhere very early Thursday morning - before the start of business - and I got it yesterday. They don't have a large enough selection to be my "go-to", but they are certainly a worthy addition.

    Filtering Information

    I recently asked about how to filter the forum so I see only the topics I am interested in. I chose the wrong wording for the title, and the thread turned into a shit show. I discovered how to do what I wanted. By adding the topics I want to "watched forums" and "watched threads", as...

    An Ode to Paul's Pipe Shop, Flint, Mi

    A couple of years ago, I bought a Comoy Christmas Pipe, 1982, as an unsmoked estate. It quickly became a Virginia pipe and a favorite. Then, about a month ago, I dropped it on a concrete floor, and the tenon snapped. You can imagine how I felt. Today the stars finally aligned, and I hopped in my...

    Standard Tobacco Company of Pennsylvania

    Looking at an old order on SP yesterday, I happened to notice that they marked Murray's 1A Linfield as "discontinued". Looking around a bit today, I see that the Murray's and John Cotton lines are pretty much out of stock. Are they simply out of stock, or are they going away? Both 1A Linfield...
