Peterson 2022 POY (14B)
I logged on just to mention these, smokingpipes just sent the email and while I love the 14B/Mark Twain lines, have one of the latter from the 80s IIRC, the new "rusticated" version looks like Peterson took a chunk of their worst briar, cut the general shape and threw it in a blender for a...- pipedreamin

Vest Pocket Pipes
I was smoking mine a couple of days ago. The issue is lighting it so close to my face and not scorching the tip of my nose. That could be remedied with something other than a zippo lighter I think. It smokes well but as others have said, sees infrequent use now though for a while it was the goto...- pipedreamin

What are You Reading Now?
Just finished: And now revisiting The Candle of Vision by AE, read 30 years ago and loved it: "Known to his contemporaries as the 'Myriad-Mind Man', George William Russell (1867-1935) was an artist, a journalist, a poet, a playwright, a mystic, a seer, and much else besides. A friend and rival...- pipedreamin

Small Pipes
I'll second mso489. Found this EWA made Terminus, a hefty little 'lunch' pipe with a dry smoke system. It's a well made pipe and only about $40 new from Bruno at Estate-Pipes: Version 2 by LIght Pirate, on Flickr He often carries an EWA or 2 and always some nice offerings from St Claude as well...- pipedreamin

Karel Krška Pipe
No doubt, I like the lines on a lot of Krska pipes but when I don't. I really don't:) The tamper is simply a 45-70 case with a cut off 'handle' of found bone. The tobacco pouch I made 25 years ago from the remains of some book binding leather and lined with packing tape of all things, it works...- pipedreamin

Karel Krška Pipe
I first saw a Karel Krška pipe on that auction site and was out-sniped in a heated battle for one of his beauties. I even contacted the seller to pass my info onto the victor should he/she decide the stewardship of such a gem wasn't all that was hoped for. Still waiting... In the meantime I...- pipedreamin

Maundering About with the Rinaldo...
They have a nice fit and finish, Rinaldo turns out a quality pipe, I think you'll be pleased.

Your First Pipe & Tobacco
I had an "uncle" who smoked a pipe, classic memories of being there for a holiday and him sitting by the fireplace smoking away--back when it was good for kids to be around it. Anyway at age 19 I bought a pouch of Captain Black and tossed it on the propane heater top (just for the aroma) in the...- pipedreamin

Do You Still Have Your First Pipe?
I do, a MM cob. It's going on about 30 years old now. It's quite charred, probably sporting its 4th stem. I smoke it rarely but it sits in the cabinet as the grandfather to the collection. I recall after getting and smoking it a bit I couldn't keep it lit, No one to ask till I saw an older gent...- pipedreamin
