It seems that pain of that experienced lingered for you, to judge by the name you've chosen as a forum handle. Lol.- eddiegrob

Pipes.org
I remember the absurd over regulation and the tyrannical style. I endured it for quite a while because there were many postings and threads with interesting information. But when someone, I think it was Melvin, posted a short story about a magic pipe, I just left. I'll do anything for love...- eddiegrob

The Guildhall Canadian 296B
I have a The Guildhall London Pipe 296 with the same stampings. These were so faded, apparently with over-buffing, that the seller mistakenly identified it as a TG London Pipe 58. With a jeweler's loupe one can clearly see the 296. It was sold to me as a pre-Cadogan and the stamping style... -
Best Estate Pipe Find
A Comoy Blue Riband 126 pot/billiard and, a big surprise for me (perhaps it shouldn't have been), a Butz Choquin Supreme Extra hand made. -
TAD Purchases
Having been highly impressed by their 20th Anniversary Blend, I've always wanted to try Smokers Haven's Exotique and Our Best Blend, but they were always out of stock by the time I got there. Until today. I just ordered two 2oz. tins of each and now entering the waiting for the mail stage of...- eddiegrob

What Is Your Favorite "Manly" Poem?
Hurt Hawks I The broken pillar of the wing jags from the clotted shoulder, The wing trails like a banner in defeat, No more to use the sky forever but live with famine And pain a few days: cat nor coyote Will shorten the week of waiting for death, there is game without talons.

Wilson hand made?
I first dropped the picture into the frame, but then it disappeared. I inserted it via the url this time. -
Shiny Pipes on Ebay
I've bought a large number of pipes from shinypipes over the space of many years. I'm happy with everything I purchased from that site and all was as advertised. The entire experience was always more than satisfactory. I'm not here to gainsay what anyone else has written or invalidate their...- eddiegrob

Wilson hand made?
I just received this group 5 "Vintage Wilson 1960s hand-made" chimney/billiard. According to the seller's information, it was probably made in Colorado as a private gift, perhaps as a business promotion or token of appreciation. If that's correct then additional data would be nigh impossible... -

Pipes You Never Liked Before
I've always preferred classic shapes and stayed away from freehands. Yet over time I've been able to find some freehands that imo retain some classic aesthetics, if that makes any sense. Now I have quite a few. Randy Wiley's Patina and Galleon line come to mind. The heart has reasons that...- eddiegrob

Have You Ever Had a Pipe Blend That Made You Feel Slightly Ill?
The original Condor made me physically ill. And not slightly. It was a bona fide allergic reaction to the coumarin/tonka bean/whatever. I couldn't smoke anything for days and the toxic taste it provoked in me altered my palate also for a long time. I'll always remember it as ass, poison and...- eddiegrob

The Tobacco You Reach For Without Thinking
When I don't want to think it through too much or agonize about choices, I usually grab a Sutliff blend like Match Revelation or Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend.- eddiegrob
