    Brother's Auction Find

    I've seen a couple of those "lot" type auctions, only problem is i don't want or need more briar pipes and i don't have the room for more stands, now ive moved on to stands that i can fasten to the wall as flat space is at a premium with my plug cutter, large drying bowl, tons of random meers, etc,.

    Looking at Old Meerschaum Pipes

    I'd say on the one he posted the actual bowl is really beat to shit and not worth it. I picked up a cutty from the 1860s, it was easier to date by maker and had some provenance, for about 125 and it's in wonderful shape, i only bought it to own it, it's too small for my tastes to smoke but...

    Looking at Old Meerschaum Pipes

    I Have bought many many many estate meers on ebay. I would not spend 70 bucks on that particular pipe, there are some real deals out there, that while some of them are colored a bit, they don't look dirty and beat to hell. I also am wary of random people saying pipes are that old just because...

    Beverly Hills Cop: Axle F

    Didn't even realize it was out. That being said I'm watching Batman Returns so there is nothing wrong with looking back at better movies and better characters (actors).

    A Serious Crack. Repairable?

    "Crack" that was the grand canyon at least when you pried it open, I don't see a lot of pipe repair threads and i know we have some real talent here, i won't name names because they don't need big egos, but i personally think you did an excellent job, at least in the pics it looks great.

    Who Can Replicate This Meer Bowl?

    Looks great to me. I too was wondering why a new pipe made and was really curious who could craft a meer bowl, other than reaching out to one of the meer purveyors and having them make a bowl, and the rest of the pipe, if it was just for the bowl you'd have to send them the pipe to craft a...

    How to Deep Clean my Pipe?

    In basic they told us you can smell a cigarette burning up to 50' away depending on wind and much further for non-smokers, that and "light discipline" you can see the glow from a lot further than you think, that's why in fairly accurate war movies everyone that smokes cups their cigarette in...

    Pipe Smoking and Cancer

    He was always tan as ... tan, working in the sun and spend a good couple decades as an alcoholic. My mom used to say he would outlive us all out of spite, that and God wouldn't take him and the devil didn't want the competition. He had his issues, i was 1 when they divorced but my older...

    Pipe Smoking and Cancer

    Cancer, either you get it or you don't, it's a genetic / DNA thing. My father smoked multiple packs of cigarettes a day for many decades, he actually smoked cigars and pipes with the cigarettes, died at 91 no cancer. I smoked 2 or 3 packs a day for 30 yrs, no cancer so far, quit cigs though...

    Good Thing Syrian Latakia is No Longer a Thing.

    Yes one of the quotes mentioned machinery but that could be just "old kiln" or something like that, at least more so than actual processing / pressing / cutting machines. Either way it came down to the wood they used for curing.
