What's Going on With Pipes and Cigars?
They are usually my go-to retailer for tobacco and I've always been super happy with their service, etc. However, lately it seems like everything is back-ordered or out-of-stock. Never a good sign. Did I just catch them between inventory orders or is something else going on?- quincy

Pipes of Famous Pipers
Ok. This may have been covered here deep in the archives but I'm struggling to find it... So Einstein like Peterson Shelby Foote and Faulkner were Dunhill men CS Lewis liked Comoy's and I hear that Tolkien liked Comoy, Parker, and Dunhill but I can't remember where I heard that... What did... -
Thoughts About the Chicago Show
To see over 300 tables filled with pipes is an amazing thing. It was hard to even focus and it could give you moments of feeling overwhelmed at the sheer volume of pipes so that you couldn't even really see what you were looking at. There were old, estate pipes that had weathered the test of...- quincy

Loose Cap Mount on Peterson Spigot
So, I just received my brand new Peterson Spigot in the mail today. I noticed that the cap is slightly loose on the end of the military mount on the pipe. It wiggles ever so slightly and lifts a hair. Should I send it back? Is this common? On the systems I have they are all pretty tightly... -
My New Cabinet
Thanks to my beautiful, patient, and understanding wife's awesome Christmas present from Two Cousin's Pipe Racks, for the first time ever I'm able to have most of my pipes in one place where I can easily see them. I can't tell you how walking in to my work room/dining room and seeing this makes...- quincy

Didn't Expect it to Be This Hard...
...to find a Peterson System in smooth. Ideally I want a 303 but it seems like all the sites I check are out of stock and where they are available costs more. Sheesh. Oh! And I believe this is post 500! -
Connectionalism
One of the amazing thing about our hobby is how it brings people together. You don’t see the same amount of camaraderie among cigarette smokers, you may find similar friendships among cigar smokers, but for us few pipe-smoking contemplative types, this hobby brings us together. I’ve recently...- quincy

Smoking Meditation 10/12/14
Fact: I’m strangely attracted to ritual. It’s one of the things that I treasure about both being a Freemason and also about church. Even church in it’s more contemporary forms, when it’s done well, has an element of ritual. I think that’s part of the reason pipe smoking is so attractive to...- quincy

Falcon Pipes?
Ok guys. I have to admit I'm terribly curious about these. Can anyone explain the benefit/difference this provides compared to a normal briar pipe? What are the smoking qualities like? If you have one, do you like it and recommend them or is there a better brand? -

Pipe Club Advice
So, at the B&M here in my new town I brought up the idea of starting a pipe club... In a room full of cigar smokers... One guy pulled out a pipe and said he was in, then another guy said he had one at home. Then another guy. Half the room were closet pipe smokers and thought they were the only...- quincy

Dr. Grabow Stems
What in the world are they made out of and do they drive anyone else nuts? I sometimes like the looks of one but the stem material creeps my mouth out! -

Things Change
I used to really love big, bulky, weird shaped pipes. Now, I find myself being really attracted to smaller, classic shapes. Of course, my taste in tobacco has evolved which I expected. I am really surprised at how my pipe taste has changed. I always thought billiards were plain and boring... -
I Want to See Your Briar Bird Pipes!
Inspired by a few threads about favorite pipes and another one where someone just got a bamboo Briar Bird, it made me want to see more pictures of my favorite carver's pipes. Here are pipes one and two of a seven day set I'm putting together. Here's pipe 2 -

Need Advice on Estate Dunhills.
Wow! I moved halfway across the country in a whirlwind. Life has been turned completely upside down and is now finally starting to settle. I really hope I don't have to do that again with 4 kids!

Brigham Pipes
Can I just go ahead and say if the one I have is any indication of their pipes as a whole, that Brigham Pipes are vastly underrated and one of the best smokes for the buck? I love this thing! It's fantastic every time. I'm going to have to get another one soon!
