    Welcome New Members. Introduce Yourself. (2)

    Thanks pstlpkr! I've got a long ways to go before I can even pretend to be competent in this hobby. I'm grateful I've got you guys to help me along the way. I think it's great that I'm running into other pipe smokers from the central AR region on here. We all need to get together at the pipe...

    August 2010 - What are you smoking?

    I've done a little checking and I think it's called a Wellington Bent Billiard or also called a Jumbo Wellington. It measures just over 10 inches in length. Sorry the picture isn't better. Edit: Pstlpkr I couldn't get the photo to work, so here is a link to your album. I hope this is the...

    Buck67...That wilshire is pretty good indeed. My dad loves it. It's a nice cool smoke. I haven't calloused my tongue yet with the hotter blends, so that cool wilshire smoke is great. I'm also enjoying their champagne blend, which is a little hotter smoke but still very nice. It's great in...

    August 2010 - What are you smoking?

    I'm currently smoking a Danish cavendish blend that my local pipe shop calls Champagne. I'm finding it to be a very enjoyable smoke in my newly aquired Wellington pipe. I don't know what model or type of pipe it is, I've got a long way to go in this hobby. I can tell you it's about the...

    What a small world. Imperator that was you I saw yesterday. I've not been around the pipe shop for too long, but I have found everyone there to be very friendly and knowledgeable. I love that you can just come in and pack a bowl of any blend you want, then sit down to a cup of coffee and a...

    Imperator, where abouts are you from? I only ask because the pipe shop I use here in Little Rock, AR is across from a university. While I was there earlier today I saw a guy wearing a staff shirt from the school. How small a world would it be if that was you I saw!?

    No pics on me right now, but I ride a red 2009 Kawasaki 900 Vulcan Classic. I enjoy the hell out of it, too. Wouldn't mind getting a bigger bike sometime down the road, but I'm happy with what I've got right now.

    Volk pipe

    Oh there's no talk of selling the pipe. My dad owns the pipe now, given to him when my great grandfather died about 26 years ago. The pipe I have is actually my dad's old kaywoodie Saxon that he bought about 30 yrs ago. It's my hope that my dad will put down the cigarettes and pick up his...

    Hello all! I'm a father, husband, and firefighter from Arkansas. There are several members of my department that smoke pipes and they have really helped me to grow my passion for pipes. I didn't realize that pipe smoking was so big, but I am quickly learning. I'm looking forward to expanding...

    Volk pipe

    Thats the site. I'm trying to do this while juggling my two kids, so I hadn't gotten the chance to make sure it was cool to put up other sites and what not. I've never been part of a forum, so I'm not up to date on all the ins and outs. Thanks for the help so far everyone.

    Volk pipe

    I'm wondering/hoping that someone might be able to help me find some information on my great grandfathers Volk pipe. The only information I've found on it is that it was designed by Jacque Fresco and made by Volk Manufacturing Corp starting sometime around the year 1946. It's a metal stemmed...
