    My stunning BRIARBIRD pipe has arrived ....

    I think I jst died and went to heaven! I just opened the most incredibly well packed (read frustratingly so) box from USA ... all I saw was "Smoking Pipe" on the Customs Dec and I started to shake with anticipation and excitement.

    Arrgh, PAD of a VERY Different Kind ... Help Please ...

    Well, what can I say ... I have always admitted to suffering "excessive compulsive" disorder, among many others, but this time I've really gone and done it! I was struck by an evil PAD attack and spent 48 hours searching high & low for my "chosen one" ... I set out on Saturday and took 10 hours...

    BEWARE Buying Meerschaum from Turkey on Ebay ....

    Well, over the last decade I've become quite the little eBay Detective having assisted in a few major busts concerning everything from the sale of fake Roman antiquities equating to $100k's (for a forum), to non-existent slimming powders involving many, to general rorts and shill bidding...

    Dremel Tool - Cleaning, Polishing, Repairing, Maintaining?

    Hi guys, I bought a bench grinder but it wasn't suitable (the wheel shields weren't detachable, DOH!!) Then I decided I neither had the space nor inclincation (read guts) to deal with something so large and potentially dangerous if/when it starting flinging things around like missiles. I...

    Old Meerschaum Stem Over Tightening a Wee Bit ...

    Hi guys, my vintage Meerschaum has arrived but unfortunately the stem is a little off kilter in that it tightens just a wee bit too much, putting the stem at a very slight angle. The pipe has a 9ct gold band attached to the shank, then a metal threaded bit protruding from the gold ring. The...

    Beall Tool Co. Anyone Contacted Them Lately ...

    Hi all, I've repeatedly tried to email the Beall Tool Coy. as per their website, here: I wanted to find out about ordering some polishing and buffing pads (4" for a 3000rpm bench grinder I purchased) as well as the relevant blocks of polish, canuba etc. I'm under the impression, rightly or...

    Recommended Baccy Jar Capacities ....

    Sorry guys this is a curly one that I hope you can work out for me. I can only get 50gm baggies of loose blends from within Oz. I am about to buy some of those Italian or French glass jars that have the wire frames around the lids and the rubber gasket that forms an airtight seal - that will...

    Hey Southern Belle, I'm Blaming YOU For This .....

    So, t'other day you gave me kittens, nay, the absolute horrors, talking about a spider that had taken up residence in your pipe. I determined there & then to request HWMNBO to add "Creepy Crawly Spray" to his list of things to procure (he's very good that way) but remembered I can't use such...

    Wicked, Wicked Forum People - Aiding and Abetting

    my excessive, compulsive PAD beyond anything I could even have imagined! I make no bones about the fact I suffer a huge personality flaw, a complete excessive, compulsive disorder and you guys and gals have inspired me to explore this one to the fullest, with zero signs of abating. I'm now...

    Nevermind Crazy Buyers on eBay, Some Sellers Need a Rocket ....

    I am so damn sick to death of spending endless hours trawling eBay, finding the pipe of my dreams (every day a different one/s) only to find many European and USA sellers requiring me to take out a third mortgage to pay their stinking over-inflated postage costs. Just found one clown charging...

    The Americans Are Coming ... Downunder .....

    We have 2,500 American Troops headed downunder to settle in a base in Darwin, Northern Territory, the most inhospitable place in the country AND the only city that was ever bombed during the war. Poor wee buggers, I hope they bring as much smoke and spare pipes as they need for the duration of...

    Well, I'm Gutted - Ashamed To Call Myself An Aussie ....

    Today is "Rememberance Day" when Commonwealth countries commemorate the end of WW2 which occurred on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, and we all buy little red silk Flanders Poppies to remember those who died in battle from WW2 until today and continuing, with proceeds going to...

    Can Someone in USA Explain What the Heck These Are:

    I presume they're drinking cups (the part I don't understand, is "sealable"!) What's that about ... How does that work?, how are they used, do you take them out into the field with you like travel type cups that the contents can't spill? Being as they're listed in Tobacciana is how I came...

    General Questions - Storage, Alcohol, Stems ...

    Hi all, I've searched Australia wide can cannot locate any "grain alcohol". Will Methylated Spirits suffice do you think? (as in for cleaning, dripped on pipe cleaners & threaded through stems). I know it will damage the bowl finish. Is it ok to store old/estate pipes without their stems in...

    Bloody Nora! Vauen Gone Wild ....

    I know I was on a quest to find some funky, colourful, feminine pipes but, for the love of all things holy, I didn't expect to turn up anything quite like these "creations" by Vauen. Noooooo, I will NOT be ordering...

    Sweetest, Strongest, True Aromatic Available ....

    I've been sampling tobaccos like a madwoman, and the only two that I have really liked so far are McClelland's "Oriental" and "Rasberries & Cream". To me, they're super sweet, strong, smooth as smooth can be, and taste like they're supposed to. Every other one I've tried that is supposed to...

    Rare Baccy Pouch From Days of Yore ... French ....

    I mentioned this wonderful, rare piece of smoking history in a post and someone asked for pics, so here we go. Excuse the glossy finish on it, I had just treated it with silicone grease to preserve the rubber - I will NEVER use it, it's something I just had to have for sentimental reasons. I...

    What Do You Guys Do With Empty Tins?

    Just wondering what you guys do with empty tins? I'm praying the answer is not "throw them all in the bin"!!!! If you do, please think about posting the smaller ones this way (I'd pay of course) because the tobacco I buy from my guy interstate only comes in ziplock bags and I was hoping to find...
