French Oom Paul Project
I picked this up from my local antique shop for $20. The only marking is “France” on the shank. There’s a small rectangular hole inside the shank (3rd pic) and I have never seen that. The pipe’s condition was pretty decent with very little cake in the bowl. There is plenty of airflow to the...- AreBee

Sisimbro Pipes
I was in Naples two years ago and visited Sisimbro to buy Cuban Cigars. I loved the shop and I have followed them on social media since. I recently fell in love with this house brand pipe in the Chiaia line. I love the color and have been reading up on the cumberland stem. It’s $90 whic didn’t...- AreBee

Newbie at Pipe Club: What to Bring?
Good day all! I am heading to my first pipe club gathering and I have no idea what to bring. Obviously, I plan on bringing all the tools I need; lighters, tampers etc. Do I bring multiple pipes? Multiple Tobaccos? Is it correct to say that I shouldn't smoke all evening in a not quite...- AreBee

Chivas Century of Malts
This Scotch was a beauty. A wonderful blend of 100 single malts. I bought this bottle back in 2003 and brought it out whenever my beloved UConn Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams won a National Championship. It’s come out 14 times since then and it’s now empty. What an incredible run!- AreBee

Art Deco Ashtray Stand Restoration Project
This was a such fun project! I had been on the hunt for an ashtray stand for a few years and never saw anything that excited me. I found this piece at an antique shop about a mile from my house and it just spoke to me! I did some research on it and found it was made by the Alexander Backer...- AreBee

New Peterson Fermoy B10
Went into a Danbury, CT pipe shop with the Warden yesterday looking to buy my first briar. I was looking to spend between $50-$100 but was drawn to this beauty. My wife, always wary when I start a new hobby, actually encouraged me to get it. Cold and windy today but hope to smoke it very soon! -
1930 Tobacco Curing Permit
Cool piece of tobacciana and family history. My great-grandfather’s permit for curing tobacco on his farm in Simsbury, CT. I spent a lot of time on this property in the ‘70s and ‘80s and the curing barn was still standing at that time. The Hartford County Mutual Fire Insurance Company is still...- AreBee

1920s Photo of my Dad with Pipe
I recently came across this pic of my Dad while cleaning out my Mom’s apartment. I’d say this is about 1928 or 1929. I never knew him to have a pipe and I wish I found this when he was alive so I could give him a big WTF! My great grandfather grew tobacco in the Connecticut River Valley so I’d...- AreBee

Tobacco Hutch Project
Just finished a reclamation project of a bureau my Dad made over 60 years ago. I now have all my smoking accessories in one spot. Lighters, cutters, punches, ashtrays, humidors, pipes and tobacco, it’s all there. The first pic shows what it looked like two weeks ago and then pics of the stripped...- AreBee

Meerschaum Restoration Project
I mentioned this in my into but thought I’d share my journey into pipes. I’ve been a cigar smoker for 30 years and I recently helped a good friend recondition his Dad's old desktop humidor. While we were sitting around I mentioned that I wanted to try smoking a pipe. He said that he...- AreBee

New To Pipes and New to the Community!
Good day all! 55 year-old Connecticut resident and 30 year cigar smoker venturing down a new rabbit hole! I recently helped a friend restore a handful of Meerschaum pipes that he inherited from his Dad 10+ years ago. As a thank you for my efforts, he rewarded me with a choice of pipes and I...- AreBee
