New Turned Tamper
Bought a wood lathe a while ago and I've been super lazy. Got off my butt and made a tamper last week and thought I'd share. Also just ordered some chuck jaws to turn briar, so pipes are on the horizon. Sorry for the poor pic.- sergemoat

Russian PAD
I've been thinking about collecting Russian carvers lately. Here's my second Russian pipe, this one is made by Andrey Cherepanov. I believe its one of his earlier works since it's marked "GNOM". He and his brother Sergey started sharing the same "Cherepanov" stamp recently(please correct me if... -

My Turn! RAD PAD
I've been jealous of all this RAD PAD going on and now mine is on the way! A few months ago I had comissioned a pipe from Rad. I asked for a brandy/rhodesian/bulldog shape with an inlay of some kind on the stem. Just got an email saying it was finished. Obligatory pipe porn: -

Turned Some Tampers!
Ordered a lathe the last week in November and finally got it last week. Here are my first two turnings, the first one is a zebrawood "baseball bat" tamper and the second is a curly maple pawn.

PAD and More
Today I attended the Seattle Pipe Club Annual Dinner. Had a great time, ate great food with great people, had a chance to meet Russ Ouilette. The event included an auction, where last year I had missed out on a Rad Davis pipe at a bargain, so this year I was more prepared. I managed to score a... -
Strange Taste to Second Bowl
Do any of you get a strange taste after smoking a Lat blend then a burley or virginia blend? I've noticed this on a few occasions. First time was after having some SPC Mississippi River then Some E.

Got a Lathe Today
Got an email last week from the woodcraft store for a lathe that was 200 dollars off. So long story short, I think my first few projects will be tampers. They were out of stock so I'll get to pick it up in a week or so.- sergemoat

Stiff Pipes
I was browsing the internet earlier and came across a post on a gear blog. They claim it's the first plastic pipe. What about "the pipe", "venturi" and "the smoke" pipes?- sergemoat

New Spot for My Pipes and Tobacco
My pipes and tobaccos were taking over my desk so today I snagged a cabinet from the big box store. I used to have my unopened tins in a file drawer and now I have 3 shelves. I think a little TAD might be in order. How many spots have your collections outgrown?- sergemoat

Military Mount Question
Is there a specific term for the type of military mount seen here? Specifically the way the briar is reinforced with a metal ring, not a ferrule but inlaid into the briar. I'll try to find a clearer picture. -

Help With Dunhill Nomenclature
Can someone enlighten me on the "ODB" category of Dunhills? I know Dunhill uses group sizes, but I've also read that they have an "ODA" size for their large pipes. Are "ODB" pipes even larger?
