    Cleaning up an eBay pipe (w/pics)

    A couple months back, I scored a Brewster off eBay for five bucks. Research on this forum and the wild, untamed internet tells me the Brewster pipes were all made in one batch in 1964 as a promotional item for Sir Walter Raleigh. Since that's the year I was born, this pipe and I get along very...

    This country needs some 'fundamental change', alright...

    Help me to grok the cob

    This article sure helped me to grok the concept. It's written by forum member tilijlp - lots of great advice in there. Let him share his water with you!

    New MM is superior smoke!

    Have a cigar, maduroman, it IS a Diplomat. I was wondering, myself. I picked it up on looks alone and didn't think to ask, just made sure it had the hardwood plug. I can surely see why the cobs are so popular, and why they dominated the $X thread.

    New MM is superior smoke!

    Made the trip to my Local yesterday (Smoky's in Montvue Center) and picked a new Missouri Meerschaum: So, I gave it a smoke yesterday with some 'gift' tobacco to burn out the stem, then yanked the filter. Filled it up this morning with some tasty Wife's Blend and smoked it after lunch today...

    Pipe Sweepstakes- In memory of Sonny

    Peterson, with MM a close second. And I love my cats - dogs are like children, and cats are like teenagers. General Patton was the best cat who ever owned me, but Czarina Alexandra was a great cat, and Anne Boleyn was a great cat, and Jack Dempsey is turning out to be a pretty good companion.

    Those are GREAT books, and highly recommended. Can't wait for the last of the trilogy!

    Anyone in East Tennessee?

    I agree with the assessment of Smoky's - aside from the owner, they seem to be blase about pipe tobaccos. Sad, considering that they have, by default, the largest selection in the City. I keep meaning to spend a day there and strike up conversations with some of the diehard Brothers I see. I...

    Sniped on ebay

    Interesting... I lost out on a dandy Peterson when another bid came in at 12 seconds left. And just as bobby said, I didn't need it -- but somebody else is holding my baby now!

    Last man standing

    Most interesting. I remember those baskets well, as my family had a tobacco allotment well into the 80s. I wonder if some of those $75 baskets are still up in the barn...?

    Goodwill Estate Pipes (Pic Heavy)

    Nice deal on those items, and the price was certainly right! I dig the Bulldog most - I'm gonna have me a Rhodesian or a 999 or bust.

    Smoking Down to the Heel

    +1 portascat ...and on a single light.

    The mongers move on, and the haters hate.

    But, the govt needs people to smoke to pay the taxes to support the anti-smoking propaganda! Soon, we might be looking at $26 for a couple ounces, like our Canadian friend in the other post.

    Gotta Love the Government!

    Wow, that's just a tragedy, that sort of taxation.

    Music battle: Stones vs Floyd

    I do enjoy some of the Stones tunes, but vastly prefer Floyd.
