    MKELAW's Online Store is Closed…

    I obtained my birth year Dunhill from Dave; while I didn't buy much, I always loved his site. Congratulations Dave on your retirement, and thanks for all the great years as a trusted vendor!

    My Backyard Pipe Shed - “The Smokehouse”

    I live just south of Dayton and can appreciate the indoor space when Ohio weather just won't cooperate for outdoor enjoyment. That sir is one awesome personal spot. Kudos!

    Show Us Your Chubby (Stout / Chunky / Thick) Pipes!

    I tend to favor the chubbier dimensions.

    Any Kilters In This Pipe Clan?

    If you ever wanted to kilt up, there are a lot of choices that do not track to any heritage. For example, I wear the Army tartan as a former service member. There are "just because" patterns that have no clan affiliation and you can rock on with your bad self if you wanted to. I have found...

    Any Kilters In This Pipe Clan?

    I live in Carlisle - just south of Dayton. I was at Celtic Fest in June out in Waynesville, but couldn't make the July event due to other plans. We should get together up at the Wharf some time and enjoy a couple of bowls.

    Any Kilters In This Pipe Clan?

    Wow - lot's of great questions and comments. I'll see if I can encapsulate some responses - sorry for the TLDR potential. Why? For me, it's just something interesting to try. My daughter thinks I have Scottish heritage and I decided to get a DNA test from a lab not connected to Ancestry or...

    Any Kilters In This Pipe Clan?

    Recently I've started to explore what some call the Kilted Life; that is wearing Scottish style kilts as part of a normal garment rotation. Contrary to belief, one doesn't have to be Scottish to don the kilt, but one should wear a kilt respectfully even if doing so more casual than say to full...

    Another Ryan Alden Stunner for collection

    Amazing pipe Ash! Judging from the comments, we're all either jealous or we "hate" you. :) Congratulations on another fine Ryan Alden pipe!

    Another Ryan Alden Stunner for collection

    No doubt. I have one, count 'em - 1 Alden pipe. Next thing I know, Ash is grabbing these pipes faster than a pig in a truffle patch.

    Rossi vs. Savinelli

    I view Rossi pipes as Savinelli's budget line (rather than seconds). They are probably separated by briar quality prior to carving. If you compare shapes, you'll find virtually everything in Rossi that you do in Savinelli. If you compare finishes, it's clear that Savinelli brand is well ahead...

    Best Place to Find Estates? Especially a Boswell.

    My wife and I just took a 3-day trip the first week of August from Ohio through PA with a specific purpose of a Boswell stop in Chambersburg. Worth the trip; not just for the pipe shopping, but the upstairs lounge is more like a museum where you can smoke.

    Another Tamper Joins The Collection

    Mine is into Gnomes...needless to say, my gnome tamp will never see tobacco. :ROFLMAO:

    Another Tamper Joins The Collection

    After getting a couple of Buttons For Your Britches pipe tampers, I couldn't resist picking up one more. This one is called "Morty" which I believe is a nod to Frog Morton. I really love these little works of art.

    New Pipe Tamps

    No, not the garden - maybe her faerie garden (which she has one) - but she just loves gnomes. If you ever met me, that might explain some things. :ROFLMAO:

    New Pipe Tamps

    You are correct; I don't know why my brain does that sometimes. It is Buttons 4 Your Britches. And Larry's work is pretty awesome. I just ordered a Morty The Frog from him today.
