Goodbye, Roger Ebert.
Not sure if anyone has read this as of yet, but today Roger Ebert passed away after a long battle with thyroid cancer that cost him most of his jaw and deprived us of a great movie reviewer. This guy was one of my inspirations for becoming a writer. I didn't always agree with his opinions, but I...- cajunguy

Lucky Man (Yep, this guy.)
The past few days have been very busy and a little on the stressful side. So this afternoon I decided I need some more sleep and took a nap just to recharge my batteries. When I woke up, I found that my wife had bought me a pipe! And tobacco! Apparently, she saw me eyeballing one of the Peterson...- cajunguy

Back! Again! How is Everyone?
The title says it all. Not long after my last forum sabbatical ended, business picked up again and left me little to no time to enjoy the more relaxing things in life. It also didn't help that my computer fried out on me. But now, I'm able to manage time a bit better and I have brand-new...- cajunguy

Chess, anyone?
No, I'm not talking about the play, although One Night in Bangkok is an awesome song. I was wondering if anyone here enjoys the game or considers it a serious hobby. After a few years, I've finally returned to the game, studying matches, and trying to improve my horrible technique. :crazy: Any...- cajunguy

The First Tamper I'm Proud Enough to Show
After months of noodling around, carving tampers, I've hit a streak of some fairly good ones that I like. This, I feel, is the best I've produced yet and thought I'd share it with you guys. Made of walnut, its about six inches long and cut from a 3/4" blank, tapered down to 5/8" and finished...- cajunguy

Brand New Pipe in Today (and some 'baccy)!
Just received a new pipe in the mail today. It's an Aldo Velani that I got pretty cheap. I'm currently smoking it and she's a fantastic pipe. I also got some Lane BCA and SPC Plum Pudding in. I am a happy pipe smoker right now. -
I'm back!
Just stopping in before bed to say hello to all the guys and gals of the briar. I know it's been a good spot of time since I poked my head onto the boards, but it's been hectic of late. The restoration business took off a little faster than expected, and I did a contract writing job that about...- cajunguy

Oh What a Week...
I just wanted to drop in and let you guys know--I'm still alive! I've missed you all, but it's been a rough week. It started with tendonitis: no pipe refurbs, no guitar, no messing around with the computer. I was instructed to lay off and give the hands a rest while walking around with wrist...- cajunguy

In need of some good cheer...
Things have been fairly hectic of late, and my here presence has been scarce. I've missed popping in on as many conversations to which I can possibly contribute. Well, I had what can only be defined as a thoroughly crap-tastic night. I will spare most of the details. Suffice to say, it sucks...- cajunguy

PAD Purchases. Help Requested with Identification
Well, the wife and I made a trip to the local flea markets today, and I satisfied my ever growing need for more pipes. I walked away with some pretty good estate pipes: a Comoy Guildhall Bulldog, a Lorenzo straight, and a Castello Freehand. I also bought this one that is quite large and... -
It's Carnival Time!
Greetings, my fellow pipe aficionados. It's Mardi Gras season in New Orleans and, for all those who cannot join in the festivities, I'm here to spread all the Epicurean joy and Dionysian excess that is the carnival season. Exclusive to the members of the Pipesmagazine.com forum, I hereby...- cajunguy

New Pipe - Help Needed :-)
Hello all, I just recently received this estate pipe as a gift. It's in fairly good condition, but could use some work, a project I might undertake in the near future. However, I've never seen markings like this on a pipe, and have no idea who made it. I've checked the pipe logo sites and tried...
