Do You Keep The Box?
I like keeping the box and/or bag. It seems to complete the pipe owning experience and I don't have a lot of room to keep all the pipes out all the time so it makes it easier to find. -
Highland Park, Illinois, Sorrow
Thank you for mentioning this, being a Chicago resident this was very sad. Highland Park is a quiet suburb which makes it that much more disturbing. They canceled all 4th of July firework shows last night in 53 towns around that area. They have the person in custody but I don't know many of...- mav

The Too Many Pipes Syndrome
Still being a new smoker of less than a year, I bought a lot of factory made "mid range" (savs, petersons) at the beginning but now that I have a better understanding of what I like I'm going for a smaller but better quality rotation. Lower end hand mades (not in quality or smokability but in... -

Greetings from Chicago! I always thought it would be awesome to be a trucker and smoke pipes all day. I'm sure the reality is not as romantic as the idea but a guy can still dream. Welcome to the Forum-- mav

My first Radice just arrived and I am so pleased with it! Drilling is perfect, weight and size are just right for me. It's a simple Hawkbill rind but it's just what I like. The gold spots are not perfectly placed but I even like that because it reminds me that this pipe was made by hand!- mav

Maiden voyage with a Radice Hawkbill and some KBV Burley Morning Pipe. This is my first Radice and I am really enjoying it. I was a little nervous as this is my first pipe with an uncoated bowl but the first smoke was great.- mav

Hello From Indiana!
Welcome from Chicago. I smoke cigarettes many years ago and I'm so glad I switched. It's a different experience but a good change. Someone once told me "you see a lot of old pipe smokers but you don't see a lot of old cigarette smokers, cuz they're no longer with us". Enjoy.- mav
