Please Help Identify This Barling's Make
Hi All, I'm trying to find information about this Barling's Make. There is little in the way of nomenclature. It has the normal cross pattern on the stem, but on the wood it is only stamped Barling's Make and "Benjamin" with the J looking like the number 7. I can't find anything online about it...- tozert

Ken Barnes Passed Away?
Ken and I spent a lot of time together in my workshop. During his short reemergence making "Ken Barnes" pipes, he was using one side of my workshop two days a week while he was putting together his own workshop further down in Cornwall. Ken was an addictions therapist for 30 years. We talked...- tozert

UK Online Tobacconists
I've bought from CGars, Black Swan and My Smoking Shop (www.mysmokingshop.co.uk) Shipping is free with CGars for orders over £50, but their prices are higher to make up for it. Mysmokingshop has really good prices and shipping is very reasonable, often being cheaper than CGars even with the...- tozert

Gold
I started "investing" in precious metals from 2000 to today. When I started, gold was sub $300, and silver was under a fiver. As a long term investment, it has done very satisfactory. Even at todays prices, I add to the stack on the dips, turning fiat paper into real money. To me, it's a low...- tozert

PayPal Finally Got Me, This May Be the End
That would be true...but paypal is restricting my account. I'll still be able to use it to make payments, but not to receive payments. My son Isaac is graciously giving me access to his PP account, so I can still use ebay, but I won't be using it to run my web store, as I don't want to damage...- tozert

PayPal Finally Got Me, This May Be the End
Thank you for all the thoughtful replies, and encouragement. I have to accept the fact that as of Monday, I won't be able to use Paypal or any other merchant gateway offered by Shopify in order to run my website. I'll have to go back to the old school way of people having to email me with what...- tozert

PayPal Finally Got Me, This May Be the End
Yes, true, but not for an e-commerce site like mine to integrate into my shopping cart system. I use shopify, and they have dozens of gateway merchants, none of which support tobacco related products. Paypal was the only one, and now they are wise to me!- tozert

PayPal Finally Got Me, This May Be the End
I got an email from Paypal today. After 17 years, they discovered I sell pipes (and more recently tobacco), and gave me seven days to comply with their legal requirements and $500 merchant gateway fee, and I won't be able to. Pipes are now considered "tobacco products", and even if I take down...- tozert

Larrysson Pipes
If you consider me a pro...that makes me a happy man! Yes, this is generally the ONLY forum I ever frequent. Believe it or not, I'm here most every day for a bit. But as I get older, and partly because of counselling training, I find myself more interested in listening (reading) than I do in... -
Larrysson Pipes
BROBS, I have never stopped making pipes, but I do take breaks from time to time. The first time was a hand injury that stopped pipe making in its tracks and made me rethink relying solely on a one-career model. I disappeared for awhile, stopped selling to retailers, and worked as a gunsmith for... -

Where Can I Order Condor?
The 25g pouch you have is Gallaher production. The new stuff is made in Poland and isn't quite the same. If you want to experience the new stuff, I'm sure there's someone in the UK that can place an order for you. That's a hint!- tozert
