    Lighters vs Matches

    Mostly matches. Bic when I’m reading or out and about.

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Where are the Peterson 411’s ? The shape was re-issued recently and is reminiscent of the early twentieth century pipe styles. I never see them here from the more traditional shape lovers. What gives?

    Do I Need To Sand The Chamber?

    I have a newer Grabow Royal Duke apple that came with red tinted lacquer. Too shiny and unattractive. I wiped the pipe with Everclear rather briskly and underneath was a lovely brown stain that was unaffected by the alcohol. It’s a great smoker and has darkened beautifully.

    Good Coffee Makers

    I can’t be arsed to read this entire thread since I had cataract surgery last week and my old glasses don’t work, but some of us proles use a Black and Decker coffeemaker that has an insulated pot( no heat under the pot). Coffee stays hot and flavorful for hours without turning to sludge.

    Chronic wet smoker

    All the Falcon lined chambers are too small. They seem to take the standard bowl and add the meerschaum rather than over ream the briar and then add the lining. Probably cost cutting issues. However, the Falcon pipes allow you to flick out the moisture on the carpet if your other half doesn’t...

    I drink Punjana Loose from Thompson’s. Great tea!

    What Is With Petersons Using P-Lips For All Their New Releases?

    Petersons with p-lips are too much work so you can’t smoke them on the sabbath. Get a fishtail! I still like Petersons, I’m Irish, and I protect my home with a carbon fiber shillelagh! Time marches on.

    What Is With Petersons Using P-Lips For All Their New Releases?

    We weirdo’s love acrylic stems. How many of you have purchased estate pipes where the vulcanite stems have been over buffed to the point that your teeth break through the stem. Over buffing would not be a problem with an acrylic stem….no need! All this rain must be softening your head.

    So Much Information Everywhere, Yet..

    I believe we are all, at one time or another, victims of our own Conformation Bias. Look it up.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

    Smoking a bowl of aged C&D Derringer in an MM Rob Roy?(I can’t remember the model of this pipe that doesn’t seem to be in the catalog anymore) It has an upgrade acrylic stem and a military bit. My 13 year old girl in the background. We met online and just fell hopelessly in love!

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2025?***

    Yes, I continue to love that pipe!

    Grabow stems

    @Chasing Embers has commented in the past that the aluminum tenon has sharp edges that scrape away briar in the mortise rendering the stem loose. I bought a cheap set of diamond? tools at Harbor Freight. The set has a small pointed head that I use to round over the tenons slots and round end...

    What are You Reading Now?

    I’m reading (in fits and starts) The Pope Benedict XVI Reader. Very interesting. In my younger days I was a little baffled by WFB’s Roman Catholic religious beliefs. Then I read Chesterton. So many conversions recently among conservatives!

    Roughing It by Mark Twain. Our pipe smoking national treasure!
