    Hole in the Stem

    Hey Folks, I recently shared some Peterson Shamrocks I picked up to get refurbished as a project for my Dad and I. I got some great advice, and received them yesterday. They are in much better shape than I anticipated, and with the advice I was given I got the rims very clean. One issue I...

    About To Give Up On Non Aromatics

    I was smoking aromatics almost exclusively for my first few years. Now, they are the last thing I go for (usually just to appease the wife's nose). Smoke what you like, not what people say you should. Don't worry about the brand, the artisanal nature of it, or whether you have a "developed"...

    What's Your Profession?

    This may come as a shock due to my user name, but I am a psychologist. Specifically, I work in the public school system as a school psychologist. My job entails assessing students with education-related disabilities, providing and developing academic and behavioral interventions, counseling...

    Boswells Any love? On The Fence

    I have 3 Boswell pipes, and I find them to be great smokers. I prefer the nose warmers to the giant pipes. I like to clench them while in the yard or driving. They have a nice heft, and I really love the black rustication they do. I've never had a problem with them, and Boswell offers some...

    I Want This Pipe!

    I recently decided that I regret selling all but one of my Petes, and just went crazy on eBay this week. Snatched up a standard system, a premiere system, and two shamrocks. I do have my eye still on a deluxe system, but my wife has already shown me so much patience this month.

    Do You Have any Special / Unique Christmas Traditions?

    My wife and I make each other an ornament and exchange them each year. Usually, they are related to inside jokes or some event that happened that year. We also spend the weekend before Christmas at Disney. Her parents are all employees at WDW and we live about 2 hours away from the park...

    Handing The Pipe Down

    Speaking as the son of a long time pipe smoker and as a father myself I can tell you to save your pipes for your kids. They may be like me, who approached my dad interested in trying a pipe, but they also might want your pipes just because they are part of your image to them. If you are an...

    How Long Does a Pound Last You?

    The pounds never seem to go away and I keep getting more every year. ...Oh you mean tobacco...eh, maybe a year.

    YOU: Stranded On A Deserted Island w/ 1 Pipe and 1 Mixture

    Honestly, some Northwoods and my Peterson Rocky Donegal (69). It was the first pipe I ever bought and even though it isn't anything special, I can't remember ever having an unpleasant time with it. It just seems to smoke well. It isn't my favorite pipe aesthetically, but it takes abuse well...

    Any Suggestion for a Pipe Restorer

    Thanks for the recommendations and advice. I got the pair for $40 on eBay. I planned on giving the pot to my dad and the other for me. I’ve done some minor restorations myself. I think I’ll try the one for me myself, and depending on how it goes take the appropriate step for the one for my dad.

    Any Suggestion for a Pipe Restorer

    Hey Folks, I picked up a pair of shamrocks on eBay that I’m looking to restore. I thought about doing them myself, but I’m a bit worried about whether or not I’ll mess them up in the process. They have a lot going for them but it’s the rims and the bowls I’m worried about. Anyone have any...
