Chicago Pipe Show Video
I made a video interviewing a lot of folks who attend the Chicago Pipe Show last year, and with the show coming up this weekend, I thought it would be a good time to get off my keester and finish it. It covers a lot of what you can expect to find from 'the mother of all pipe shows'. I hope you...- ocpsdan

I got engaged!
For those of you who might have run into me at a pipe show, you'll see I nearly always have my girlfriend (now fiancee) with me. When I see old friends and she's not immediately visible, it's not-- "Hey Dan, good to see you!"-- it's "Where's Gabbie?" Like I'm chopped liver or some such :lol...- ocpsdan

Warner Pipes
Hey folks! If this is in the wrong place, please take it down with my pardons. However, since I'm now a sponsor here :wink: I'm glad to welcome Tony Warner of Warner Pipes to my team on http://www.americanpipemakers.com ! He's one hell of a nice guy, and while dubious of his work at first... -
Russ Cook Commission
I got a commission in from Russ Cook, and am very pleased with it. I asked him to make me a pipe a few months back, and he asked what I wanted. All I told him was, "I want a ball shape with a swoopy shank". He is in my estimation, an extremely underrated carver. Each smoke is evident that he... -
Father the Flame, PAD, TAD, and more!
Hey everyone, My lady and I went up to Grand Rapids to meet up with the Gentlemen of the Briar and the guys who are doing the Father the Flame documentary yesterday at Indian River Tobacco Traders.

Ryan Alden Commission/ Remake
Back in September at the Columbus Pipe Show I was talking with Ryan about this blowfish I have that had some problems with it. I had bought a Lovat from him at the show and knew I had to have another pipe from him. I asked him if he could remake my pipe, except better. He said it would be no... -
Review of The Book of Pipes and Tobaccos by Carl Ehwa
Overview: This book is a comprehensive book that lives up to its title. It consists of 4 parts, which I will go into some depth later in this review. This was the first pipe book I ever read, and it holds a lot of nostalgia for me. TBOPAT would be a great starter book for someone wanting to...- ocpsdan

Pipe Store Locator
Hey folks, I was browsing about (for me, a very overlooked tab) this page and there are a startlingly low amount of comments for the B+M's listed per state. For those who have visited the shops that are listed, could you post comments about how good the selection, service, and etc. is for those...- ocpsdan

Antique Store Find
Hey guys, Been busier than I like lately and haven't had the time to get on the forums. I visited the local Antique Store and I found a bunch of old tobacco advertisements. I bought them out! Many of the ones in the photo I was able to buy duplicates of as well. Sorry about the photo quality...- ocpsdan

NASPC Show Report (long)
Hey folks! It's amazing how quickly time flies when you go to pipe shows. Another pipe show has come and gone and all you can do is reflect on what a great time it was. I left Grand Rapids to pick up a friend in Grand Ledge (near Lansing, MI), and we arrived at the new venue, The Crown Plaza...- ocpsdan
