    What Kind Of Pipe Smoker Are You?

    What kind of pipe smoker am I? If I had to pick one word it would be "dedicated". I've smoke a pipe for 62 years now and have no intention of quitting. I suck down about 10 bowls a day in about 75 pipes and have stashed away enough tobacco to last at least 5 years at that rate.... and I'm...

    Things I Found Thrifting

    Just wondering. In this thread, should we post any thing we find that we think might be interesting to other members, or should we only post pipe related stuff? If its only pipe related I won't be on here much... if any... because in all the years I've been garage sailing the only pipe related...

    Introducing Friends to Pipe Smoking

    Doesn't happen often, but the last few times someone asked my about how to smoke a pipe, I suggested they research on the net, write down any questions they had and then get back to me. Can't remember anyone ever "getting back to me." Most of the time when a newbie realizes how much work and...

    More about Latakia...

    I don't know who grows what, where or how, but I do know that none of the English blends I've smoked in a long time now... and there have been many.... have the wonderful, mellow, rich Latakia flavor they did 50 or 60 years ago. :(

    Good Photos

    I was snooping around on a real estate web site and in a listing for a home for sale I spotted an interesting photo. I is of the den in the home. I cropped it, blew it up some, enhanced it, etc. and this is what I came up with. Am I wrong, or is this the home a a serious pipe guy? puffy

    Show Us Your Pipe Cabinet

    I've learned something from this thread. You guys all seem to keep your pipes nicer than I do. By that I mean, cleaner, polished, reamed and pristine. Mine on the other hand, tend to be dirty, covered with ash, not reamed all that much and never been polished. Yet, somehow, mine all seem...

    Things I Found Thrifting

    Just got home from a morning garage saleing. We hit one after another with no luck, and then WHAM! I found this brand new, unused, perfect, everything there (you get the idea) item. I've got ladders and step stools and this will not be used every day, but it will come in handy. As hard as...

    A Smoking Room

    It's been about 3 days and I haven't heard any noise in the vent. Maybe all the noise I made knocking and tapping on the vent plus running the exhaust fan at full speed, made the little bugger pack up and move. I don't climb high ladders any more and the vent is on the second floor, so when...
