    Pipestud Website Issues?

    Steve did have some technical issues earlier on Saturday. He wouldn't sell me my favorite aged tins at cost so I crashed his site until he sold me what I wanted. I told him let's not go through this again. These specific tins are mine and if he doesn't hold them for me, I will blow up his...

    Maddness in Oz...

    When I was into Cuban cigars, it was a federal crime to import them. 5 years and a 50.000.00 fine if you got caught. I had shipents snagged over the years and just got a note from US customs asking if I wanted to apeal their taking of my cigars. Of course I said no. I had retailers from all...

    Because we saved their asses in World War II, they are still paying restitution and cheap pipes are part of it.

    50g/100G Round Tin Question

    The only 100 gram tins I am aware of that doesn't need jarring is Savinelli Doblone d'Oro. I am sure there are plenty others. Solani 660 Silver Flake and 633 both come in 100 gram tins but need jarring as they are not vacuum sealed.

    Consider Writing A Letter, I Mean Snail Mail

    I am a lefty and since I was a little kid I haven't been able to read my own writing. Now that I am going to be 65 next month my writing is even worse. I always admired people who had nice hand writing. My sister made mine look like a 6 year olds. My mother understood as she was a lefty and had...

    Collectors Series and Sets

    I never went for a collection of tobacco. I never found a collection of flakes I was interested in. I do have two seven day sets of pipes from my favorite carvers. My first was a set from Rad Davis and my second was from Jack Howell. Giving specific dimensions and colors is a lot easier than...

    Coffee Check

    My favorite is Café Du Monde from New Orleans. It has been made the same way since 1862 and has Chicory in it. It is strong the way I make it. 5 big table spoons for a pot. I use some half and half heated to 29 seconds and I put in 5 spoon fulls of Stevia. I like it strong and sweet and have...

    Are You More Excited When

    Geez guys, where is the excitement? How can you not get excited by a new toy. Have you lost your ability to be a kid again? I would be sad if I could not get excited about a new pipe especially if it were a commission.

    Crushing a Whole Flake

    For a few years I would do the cube cut method and it worked quite well. Then I figured out if I took the perfect square shape folded it and stuffed it into a group 4-5 sized pipe I got a great smoke. I always checked the draw before lighting. If it was too tight i would run a pipe cleaner to...

    When All the Stars Align

    Can you remember exactly what you did the time you got that great smoke? Can you duplicate the humidity level of the tobacco, can you copy how you filled the pipe. did you use the same pipe. Did you smoke the pipe in the exact same place as when it was great. Try to think of every bit of...
