    New Pipe Stand

    I got my 12 year old son a 3d printer for Christmas this year. He is big into stuff like that so i figured why not? He came to me today with a pipe stand he made for me. I was thrilled to see what he printed for me. Now my favorite pipe has its own stand and will sit on the fireplace mantle.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***

    Testing out my new to me Savinelli Linea 76. Pipe came slightly ghosted from english blends. Threw some Capt. Black Original in it. Loving how it clenches and smokes. Might just be my new favorite.

    Bought A New/Old Pipe

    I was just browsing through Ebay last night, no intention of buying. That was until this Savinelli Linea 76 caught my eye. Price point on it was reasonable so i pulled the trigger. It'll look real good sitting next to my Non Pareil Dublin and even better when im smoking it.

    Show off Your Smoking Rooms!

    Soon enough. I close on this house tuesday. The pool house does need a bit of work inside but its a better start than my old house. That was either outside braving the elements or in the garage where it was cold but manageable in the winter.

    When to Throw a Pipe Out

    Thanks for all the advice. I can always count on you all to deliver. What i cant get a photo of is inside the bowl. There is still thin spots where there was burn out. Ill probably shelf this pipe as keep it as an ornament or smoke it once and a great while.
