    Deep Dislike Of Paypal

    Most of my PayPal activity was through eBay, but now eBay makes checking out a little smoother by using your cc directly through eBay. The only issue I ever had with them was paying a pipe maker once and they took a week to send him the money. It was weird and they didn't even send him a...

    Pipe Grading

    That’s funny. I’m actually the guy - maybe one of the guys - that has asked a few times about that Eskimo. Price was never discussed though as he always quickly shot down the possibility of getting ring grains in the blast on the face of an Eskimo like that ever again.

    R.I.P. Dusty Hill

    72 and just dies in his sleep…man, that’s a raw deal. I saw them with their Eliminator tour and it was one of the most fun concerts I’ve seen. They could really put on a show.

    Thanks! Got 15...with a run of 10,000, I was kinda surprised smokingpipes was sold out when I got up this AM.

    Show Us Your Nanna Ivarsson Pipes Here

    Yup, nice pipe, for sure. I've only got this one blast by her. Price-wise, it would be hard to really collect her pipes, but I'd certainly buy another, if the right pipe came along at the right price.

    What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

    Manifest on Netflix It's decent but not good enough to highly recommend. 3.75/5 (75%). That being said, I'm deep into the series, so probably will continue to watch it through. Also watching Dexter on Showtime Better than Manifest, and good overall. 4.4/5 (88%). Not in my best of all...

    What Is a Pipe You Regret Not Purchasing?

    If you want that shape and are open to other carvers, I'd contact Adam Davidson. From the first impression seeing the picture, before reading the post, I thought it was his. He also had bamboo like that, but he doesn't go with wild stem material, so you might have to compromise on that if you...

    Dunhill LB or LBS thoughts

    I'm a fan of Dunhill's shapes overall and have a couple in this shape. Good smokers, and good bowl capacity. I'd get another... Here's an LB from 66: And this one is marked XXL, but basically an LB:

    What are You Watching, 2021? Rating [*/5]

    Just got done with it as well, and agree - Ewan McGregor nailed the role of Halston, and Krysta Rodriguez did a great job as Liza Minella...I watched both her version and then one of Liza's versions of "Liza with a Z" a little earlier today on YouTube. After watching Halston and having recently...

    C&D Cornell & Diehl Eight State Burley

    It does seem like there have been a lot of small batch releases, but won't these become a thing of the past with the deeming laws? I'm in on a dozen here...what's the worst that can happen?‍♂️

    Ernest Hemingway's Pipe...

    As has been mentioned, Hemingway did dabble in cigarettes a little in his 20's but quit because he said it dulled the sense of taste, and he considered himself as gourmand. I've seen maybe one or two pictures of him with a cigarette but that's been it. He didn't smoke pipes or cigars, which is...
