    New From Scotland!

    Hello from Broughty Ferry, neighbour! If only a pipe man for a year, you’ll enjoy, it keeps getting better. I‘ve been at it over forty years.

    What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024

    Everyone has their favourite Floyd. I give Wish You Were Here and Animals the edge. But they’re all good, no?

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    So jealous! The envy! The nostalgia. How we miss them. Gone, but not forgotten.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    I had a similar experience two years ago with a tin of GL Pease Barbary Coast. It was, at first upon opening, a foul sour almost rotten aroma that was not appealing. I wrote to the online retailer only to be reassured it must be natural fermentation, but was helpfully invited to return it for...

    What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024

    Rodriguez! So ubiquitous in my South African years, yet so unknown nearly everywhere else. Many great tracks, catchy music, poetic lyrics. The Oscar-winning documentary got his story out to a wider public. Thanks, great selection!

    What Are You Listening To? - October, 2024

    Kind of Blue. A classic. Excellent taste. Never goes out of fashion. Should be in every record collection. Superb pipe smoking compositions.

    Show Off Your Danes

    Ok so. Here’s my Danes, but my photos aren’t as sharp as Sigmund’s. The top is a Bjarne, the middle a Stanwell Sixtus 212, and the bottom a Reborn Classic from The Danish Pipe Shop. About the Bjarne: I call it a Dublin stubbie, but am open to correction. Handmade by Danish pipemaker Bjarne...

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2024?***

    That’s a beauty! And, from the appearance of the chamber, looks unsmoked?

    Although I am personally indifferent to the Volcano shape, how could one not love that birdseye grain on the bottom! That is stunningly beautiful! Thanks for the photo!

    Which Oxiclean To Use?

    Thank you very much for the extra explanation!

    Hello from Scotland

    Thanks. I sent you a private message. It's my first one on this site. Hope I did it correctly.

    Which Oxiclean To Use?

    Okay. This seems to make sense. But I am unfamiliar with these products and materials that are mentioned by others. What is micromesh? Most of my stems are ugly and need work. I do not have a workshop nor a buffing wheel. And I might be lazy if there is something else to do. Like go down to the pub.

    Which Oxiclean To Use?

    Sadly, this is true. Damn ignorance!

    2025 Pipe Show Dates

    Does anyone happen to know of such shows taking place in Scotland? Or in the other parts of the UK?

    Less is More

    For me, pipe smoking is not an addiction or habit, it is a hobby. I like having choices and variety. It is not a chore or a frustration when selecting what to smoke. FalconForever has his preference and likes the limitation. Good for him. I aimed for a minimum of 21 pipes of different shapes so...

    If You Could Visit any Pipe Shop...

    If indeed Marty rocked up in the DeLorean, I think I might like to have visited Charles Rattray’s pipe and tobacco shop nearby here in Perth, Scotland. But there’s no denying how fabulous that Dunhill shop must have been in its heyday!

    If You Could Visit any Pipe Shop...

    Like cosmicfolklore and his Briary in Homewood, I am also somewhat annoyed and surprised that no one has yet mentioned McCranie’s pipe shop in Charlotte in the Park Road shopping centre. For all the same reasons, space, selection, knowledge, friendliness, a tobacco bar, a few rocking chairs, a...

    If You Could Visit any Pipe Shop...

    And whereabouts might that be?

    Seriously? Rustication Gone Awry?

    Bahahahaha! I have sometimes had the same reaction and opinion to rustication that looks thoughtless and juvenile. Some do it better than others and some look downright awful. I own several of both types. But your sarcastic comments really made me laugh!

    Corn Cob Pipe I did it!

    Thank you very much FurCoat and Funkhouse. I have not heard of the Danish stems previously. Will have to look them up. The next time I am in the market for another cob, I will take your advice. But that may be awhile. Thanks again!
