    What Kind of Pipes do you Like and Why?

    So far, and I am still less than 1 year in, I prefer straight billiards. I have a straight Nordine that I like: And I just got my Bing Xtra Long back from Mark Tinsky at American Smoking Pipe Co. with an excellent repair. But I think I want to try a bent bulldog next.

    What Kind of Pipes do you Like and Why?

    I have noticed that I get a pretty wet mouth as well when I smoke. I thought it was just me getting acclimated to smoking. I will definitely look into these systems. Thanks for the explanation!

    US Based Pipe Repairman?

    Mark Tinsky just repaired a Savinelli for me. I haven't seen the repair yet, but I am hoping it is in my mailbox when I get home tomorrow from my trip to Zion. He was incredibly responsive via e-mail, worked quickly, and sent me a photo of the finished repair before shipping it. I give him 4...

    Well, here is something I hadn't heard yet... "wet smoker" and "dry system"... Could I respectfully request an explanation?

    Do I Attempt A Repair?

    So, a quick update... I sent the pipe to Mark Tinsky and he fixed it up for me. Should be waiting in my mail box when I get home from Zion!

    Smoking in the Wild...

    Well, this week I am at my Sister and Brother-In-Laws cabin near Kolob Reservoir in Utah, just north of Zion National Park, which is in the background of this photo.

    Found Some Pipes at a Cabin in Zion...

    Yes, I tend to agree, except my BIL really likes the meer, so I might try to do some minor reconditioning on it.

    Found Some Pipes at a Cabin in Zion...

    Yes, a little internet research and I came to the same conclusion. Although this one looks a little more plain than the ones I saw. Maybe it was a lower end line? The gentleman that used to own this cabin (and presumably the pipes) was a working class guy that rarely spent money on "the finer...

    No, BIL found them in the shed and asked me about them! As for the previous owner, BIL knows him, he is 90 years old and said he picked them up over the years.

    Found Some Pipes at a Cabin in Zion...

    So I am visiting my brother-in-law's cabin in Zion, and he found a few old pipes in a shed. I don't think there is anything particularly valuable here, and ai already broke on trying to remove the tenon. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on cleaning these up: I think the most...
