    Help buying a pipe

    I’ll admit I was worried cuz it wasn’t as beefy as a lot of their pipes, but I’m a believer now! It’s got everything I like about pipes wrapped up in a pretty little package. I’m holding off on buying pipes (famous last words) for a while so I can enjoy it & the few others I have. At least...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2023?***

    King Cake from C&D in either my Rossi or Peterson. It’s officially Carnival season so I can finally eat king cake & thought I’d kick it off right!

    Hello - total noob here

    Hello & welcome from New Orleans. I’m relatively new to pipes myself (>1year) & this forum has helped a ton! Read posts, ask questions & try not to get to hung up on it. Find what techniques, tobacco, & pipes work for you & enjoy.

    Help buying a pipe

    There’s still hope. I got this 314 system for ~$80 ($68+tax & shipping) on eBay. Smokes great, nice & dry. I’ve seen them go way cheaper but I love the grain so I splurged. I second or third the comment on low res pics. No excuse unless you’ve got something to hide.

    Picked this beauty up & got it in time for my New Year’s smoke. A nice 314 System with pretty grain.

    Matching tobacco and pipe

    The only rule I follow, keep in mind I’m a newer pipe smoker, is try aromatics in a cob before putting them in a briar. It reduces the risk of ghosting the briar with clashing flavors. The same might be true with a meerschaum, but I haven’t picked one up. Yet. I’ve begun using some pipes...

    Weird Bucket List Travel

    You’d be surprised at how many people I’ve met that came to New Orleans to visit & ended up staying here. As a damn yankee(or as I prefer to be called, invasive species) it’s easy to fall in love with everything here. There aren’t any mountains or a lot of hiking trails, at least in the southern...

    BYO pipe rack

    Kinda what I was thinking. You could have on with the curve pointing down for smaller pipes & have another with the curve side up for church wardens. I was thinking of using the head of the barrel as the base, just cut them to the length of the stave. There’s a good bit of material to work with...

    NOLA Pipe Club Meets Again

    Is it just me?

    He lost me at “No profanity”. I’m not saying I can’t keep it PG but just outlawing like that kinda pisses me off. Not worth watching the other 12 minutes

    BYO pipe rack

    I’m putting some designs together in my head. I might even attempt to use the metal bands as trim. If I ever get around to building one I’ll be sure to post brag pics & share the design plans with anyone interested. I just hate seeing beautiful craftsmanship go to rot

    Annnnnd this arrived 2 days after Christmas. A present to myself. A 314 estate I picked up on e-lectronic bay

    BYO pipe rack

    I’ve seen hanging stem wear racks made with them too. I think I can make a pretty decent pipe rack just through trial & error but the humidor would take some doing. It’s really neat looking wood & I hate seeing the barrels sitting there & breaking down. Guess I could use some in my smoker

    BYO pipe rack

    Has anyone built or have access to designs for a pipe rack &/ humidor built from barrel staves? I work for a brewery & we’ve got a few used up barrels laying around. I’d like to turn some of the wood into something useful, I don’t really have the room to make use of the entire barrel. Most of...

    Please Post Your Christmas Pipe Presents

    Second posting of this (the first was the “Show us” thread). My wife got me this after dropping some heavy hints. 701 Peterson 2022 Christmas. A great little smoker & my first Pete.

    1-M Vanilla by Sutliff

    I work for a brewery in New Orleans & tbh when I’m out I tend to drink PBR, high life(low life), coors original, or some other domestic. The price is right & you don’t have to worry about them being out of date. When I’m visiting a friend & they offer me a beer, I take them up on it & say thank...

    I got 2oz of this when SP was out of Crème brûlée & I wish I’d gotten more! I actually like it better than the CB. Very flavorful & just the right balance
