    Looking for a Recommendation

    Hello gentlemen. I am looking to see what sort of recommendations I can get for pipe makers. I have been thinking a lot about getting my first commissioned pipe done, but I am having a hard time locating makers. I'm looking for someone to make me a rusticated version of the "Devil Anse" pipe...

    Ural Meerschaum

    Hey guys, Been a while and I have a question. I recently came across a Ural meerschaum pipe, and on a whim bought it. I know basic information about meerschaums, but could not find much information on Ural. From what I can gather, Ural is the name of a US distributor that has some...

    The Mentality (And Economics) of the Tobacco Shop Owner.

    Hey there folks. It has been a while since I was on the forums. Wife and I just moved into our first house, so I've been busy. I'm in a new area, and I am again burdened by the search for a local pipe shop. I lived in Tallahassee before this, and even though it is a decent sized place, all...

    My First "Giant" Pipe and My First Pear Wood.

    I have been a long-time follower of PipefriendCHS over on youtube, and one of his recent posts were about affordable giant pipes from Mr.Brog. With internship, a move, and a baby all in my near future, I have been looking for pipe deals. I have always wanted to try a giant pipe like...

    Viking Mouthpiece Removal

    I was wondering if Viking mouthpiece can be removed. I just got my estate, and the grabow symbol is upside down. It seems to be stuck though. Is it supposed to be removable? Any suggestions for getting it to come out?

    Did I Get a Good Deal?

    So I was scoping out the Dr. Grabows on ebay to see if I could find some cheap bowls for my incoming viking. I came across this ebay listing for 3 Grabows being sold by an antique store for 29.99 or best offer. Decided what the hell, and offered $15. The seller accepted in about an hour...

    Cleaning the Metal on a Viking

    I recently bought a Grabow Viking off eBay for $10. I took a chance as there was only one picture. I am trying to think ahead and learn how to clean it. I was wondering if anyone had tips for cleaning out the metal works in particular.

    Grabow Viking

    So I took a chance and bought a Dr. Grabow Viking with a bulldog bowl off of ebay for $10 tonight. I've never smoked a metal pipe before and have always been curious. Anyone have some experience with these? I know I've seen a few metal devotees on here.

    New Moretti (Update)

    Got my new Moretti that my wife bought me in the mail yesterday. I was going to give it a test run last night, but I missed picking up my TAD package from Boswell from the post office. Got my package this morning and decided to pack the bowl with some Piper's Pleasure. Smoked the pipe while...

    New Moretti (Gift from the wife)

    So my wife has wanted to buy me a pipe for a while now, and she finally pulled the trigger one one. Apparently, she got tired of looking for a "pretty pipe" on Boswell's since she knows they are my favorites, and moved to eBay. She just told me she won me this Moretti. He calls it a freehand...

    Classing Up My Cob

    So the first pipe I ever bought was a MM Legend. It was mostly due to the amount of money I had at the time. Anyway, I loved the smoke, but the aesthetics of the corn cob pipe just don't work for me. After some thought, I decided to head over to walker briar works and see if David Wolff...

    Getting Down With the Sickness

    I felt like griping a bit. Many of you already know I'm a new pipe smoker. I just got in the mail a beautiful unsmoked Stanwell 2007 pipe of the year (straight Rhodesian smooth)along with some Mac Barens Navy Flake (will be my first time trying a flake). Unfortunately, just as it arrived I...

    The Bottom of the Bowl

    Hey all, I wanted to ask our more experienced smokers for some advice. Recently, a lot of people have been talking about tobacco storage, and monitoring their consumption to decide how much they need to store. I have been taking a closer look at my use, and have determined I am wasting too much...

    Back From Tampa, Picked-Up an Edwards Pipe.

    So I'm back from my interview circuit through Florida. Stopped at Edwards for a smoke. Bought one of their house pipes. It's an Edward's Benton Canadian; I really loved the bird's eye. Never smoked a Canadian before, was pleasantly surprised. Pipe smokes great. Very pleased.

    I've Got a Fever, and the Only Prescription is More Boswell

    Another new Boswell came in the mail. A little bigger than my last one, but a beauty. I love the way it hangs. Feels perfect. Going to smoke it after work tomorrow. :puffy:

    Shop Etiquette

    So i'll be down in Tampa for a few days on business next week. I was planning on hitting Edward's and a few other shops. Any etiquette advice for someone who does not have a lot of experience in actual pipe shops? I was thinking of buying a couple of oz of their house blends, and maybe adding...

    My First "Perfect Smoke"

    I am a relatively new pipe smoker, and today I had my first "perfect" smoking session. I was on my way to Home Depot to pick up some materials for a pipe rack I'm building. I was listening to some Irish instrumental music with my window rolled down. I was smoking my Rocky Donegal #69 with...

    Another Boswell: Pipe Smoking Monk

    So I know I just posted the new Boswell I purchased, but PAD has picked up this month. This estate Boswell just came in the mail from eBay. It was described as a "mini churchwarden". I plan on taking it for a test run at the Renaissance Faire I'm headed to tomorrow. Goes well with my monk...

    Posting pipe pictures on the forum

    I am new to the site. I was just wondering if someone could tell me how to add pictures onto my posts? I must be missing something. Also this is from my phone or my computer. Can I do it without uploading a picture to a 3rd party site and then linking it?
