    Modern Meerschaum Pipes by High End Makers That Mostly do Briar Pipes.

    Sorry Taazen, I was just ranting about how these beautiful meers could be better smoking tools if they included what I find better stems. 'Hillmeer' (dunHillmeer) was just my own Franken-meer invention. If I was in the market for a new meer. The Andreas Bauer I have , also has the most beautiful...

    My bicycle (e-bike) also has a computer. From the same company that delivers to the global auto industry: Bosch. Pedestrian warning and braking are however only manualcray:)

    Tip About Mercedes

    Sorry to hear and hope Mercedes’ new computers suck less. Trying to buy a car today without some sort of a computer, is probably like asking for a paper edition of pipesmagazine.com. At least some car computers today also help avoiding crashes.

    How Many Bowls a Day Do You Smoke?

    Sorry if my English is bad. I mean that it seems some members go what resembles cold turkey to me, from time to time. That requires more than good self discipline. Hats off puf

    Talk to Me About Wrist Watches

    I love wrist watches. Preferably (relatively affordable) automatic Swiss ones from the sixties. That's what I am wearing every day, since I was a kid in the sixties :-) I do not find it very smart looking at your phone, just to know the time. Especially at the job, meetings or social gatherings...

    Danish School?

    tobefrank, I think big 9mm filter pipes from Denmark mostly made for mainly the German market, not part of domestic Danish design, only for export, since only few Danes used filters or bought bigger pipes.

    Found A Comoy's Over The Weekend

    Nice find. I also happen to have two of the ‘newer’ Comoy’s Tradition, with the later ‘non part 3’c but made in London. They are both of good quality. The stems need some regular maintenance to stay nice looking but they are also among my favourites.Pipedia

    Did Anyone Get Rich Making Pipes?

    Yes, some pipe makers became rich according to Pipedia : Lars Ivarsson's favorite anecdote about Sixten, is this: An American came into the work shop and bought an expensive pipe. He said to Sixten: You must be a rich man. Sixten answered him: I am very rich... and I have a little money too.

    Keep Your Eye On THIS Auction --- It Will Go Nuclear

    @davidy97. Yes, but I still want them :-) I think the seemingly large bits on some of the pictures, may also have to do with the usual wideangle perspective distortion. Perhaps they did not use a proper lens for shooting these pipes, as we see so often here and everywhere.... To see all the...
