    2025 Savinelli Saint Nicholas Bing's Favorite.

    Very nice! Their Bing special releases always look sharp.

    SmokingPipes Badges & Benefits?

    With as much money spent to become a gold member, the 10% discount is given out of concern for your financial well being. "Please, sir. Take this. It'll make us feel better, ethically."

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    I have two Pete meers, and I don't believe either have the traditional stamping on them. With the meer carving outsourced to another company, it's possible incorrect ferules were placed, or mis (not) stamped, during assembly at the Pete factory. But it's just a thought. Pete meers are hard, if...

    New Peterson Pub Pipes Look Awesome

    Not yet, but I was interested to see the Dublins, too. I even found one with a rustication I like.

    Why are estate pipes ok?

    Personally, the only things that keep me away from an estate pipe is oxidization and tooth marks. If a pipe is free of those, and I like the look, I'll give it a go. That being said, I have never had the luck at antique stores that others seem to have. Most every pipe I see in the wild looks...

    What Kind Of Pipe Purchaser Are You?

    I have a wide range of pipes, all shapes and sizes, new and estate. But, as the clock ticks on and my space ticks down, I now mainly focus on Peterson's and the occasional Savinelli. Both good, mid-range pipe makers.

    Well It Is Getting To Be That Time Of Year

    Evil Dead 2, come on. One of the greats.

    Hot Dogs.

    The real question is, are hot dogs red or brown?

    Peterson Christmas Pipe Release

    I've picked up their Christmas pipes ever since I started smoking in 2020. Not this year. Very underwhelming. Which is great, saves the wallet, especially since SP took away the Peterson 10% discount.

    What Are You Drinking? September 2025

    PIcked up a Crown Royal Chocolate. As someone who doesn't usually like that type of thing, it ain't bad. Tastes like tootsie rolls.

    Anyone Play Video Games?

    Just started RoboCop: Rogue City last night. Only a few hours in, but it's not bad. Peter Weller's back as Murphy.

    Jim's STG Versions of Mac Baren Blends Reviews.

    Ooof, they really gutted those blends. New pipe smokers coming into the hobby now are going to feel the same as those that started after McClelland closed up shop.

    Seattle Pipe Club Vegas show announcement.

    Hopefully they'll live to blend another day. Plum Pudding was one of my first favorites, and I loved what they were doing with their Signature Series the last couple of years. Hogshead was amazing.

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Hello! I'm brand new to the forum, though I've lurked for a long time. Been smoking since 2020 (had to do something during the lock downs), and in that time, I've collected about 90 Petersons. I look forward to sharing some pics once I get a little more organized. In the meantime, I'm eagerly...
