    This Beast Swallowed Nearly a Shot of 200 Proof!

    Hmmm, What is the protocol for cleaning meerschaum? Anyone? I've used that technique on other Meer pipes and one meer lined. The full meer smoked nice and fresh afterwards and didn't seem to be affected. Not saying it's the proper method but so far all is ok.

    Yes it is meer lined. What happens other than lots of absorption?

    This Beast Swallowed Nearly a Shot of 200 Proof!

    I put about an ounce of ethanol into the flask to clean out this Kilimanjaro beast and it absorbed it all, nothing to empty out. Let it evaporate for a night, loaded it with Balkan Blend and it still smoked sour. Will have to give it a fifth next go around and see how it handles that kind of...

    This Is The End

    Inaugural smoke of the Il Ceppo today. It's very light, surprisingly so compared to my similarly sized Pete De Luxe 11S. I packed it with Bengal Slices and found it to be an Impressive smoker, a 9mm but smoked it filterless and the draw was perfect for me. Nicely crafted, beautiful fit/finish...

    CPCC Ivarson Auctions

    "I just don't understand how these can be worth so much. I mean a couple of thousand dollars, I can see where that goes, but $8,200 ? What makes these pipes so expensive ?" This surely, as kcghost pointed out, a "smoking" pipe maker 8O

    Can't keep a lid on The Beast, how suiting.

    Cornell & DIehl Small Batch - "The Beast"

    I went camping for the weekend, thought about ordering a tin or two before leaving but nah, not enough pipe smoking Crowleyana fans out there to go through 777 tins in a few days. Ooops! I agree with perdurabo though, perique should be caused to soak in the rum of one's choosing, in accordance...

    HS Studio Purchase---Oops?

    I think red belted polypore is indigenous to China and seems it may have been, at least slightly, the source of inspiration for this little smoker:

    Pipe Smoking and Thinking

    It's science...almost: "...nicotine—[Redacted]—may prove to be a weirdly, improbably effective cognitive enhancer and treatment for relieving or preventing a variety of neurological disorders, including Parkinson’s, mild cognitive impairment, ADHD, Tourette’s, and schizophrenia."...

    Tobacco Village, Brick & Mortar

    While traveling in the wasteland that is Wilmington, DE (my condolences residents, I did live there for a while) I stopped into Tobacco Village a shop that has been around since the beginning of time it seems. Mr Rosen, the son of the founder, has sold to the landlord but still manages the shop...

    Notes on Tobacco and Flavours Tasting.

    I feel your pain carver, I'm a bit of a clod it the smoke subtlety department. Reading something like Fred Hanna's book didn't help matters either, just made me feel inadequate :D (no, really, it didn't) but the man can pick out things I'd never be able to. I think I've fried a sector of my...

    On Hipsters

    I don't think the hipster phenomenon can hold a candle to the drama around the debate over it here. I've had quite a few laughs in the last few pages. The Nikon DF review is hilarious and plenty of witty comments too. Kudos to drumweezer for sticking her head out with a slightly varied opinion...

    I just did mine. Go to profile page--click your user name, right hand upper page should have an "Avatar" button, click browse for pic, find, click upload(i think) should do it. Good luck.

    The Movie You Always Stop & Watch

    I've never owned a tv that actually had channels to surf through but a few flicks I'd be compelled to give a gander should I happen upon them somewhere: Ink V for Vendetta Lost Highway Haunted Summer Any of the ^^PPs or Monty Pythons Braveheart Raiders of the Lost Ark Bram Stoker's...

    HS Studio Purchase---Oops?

    Thank You guys. I do like that Wilderness. I'm a bit of a clod for the subtleties of smoke but Wilderness has a nice rich spice to it that even I can taste.

    Pipe Smoking in Movies

    The 1950 version of King Solomon's Mines has plenty of pipe smoking scenes. Quartermain is often seen carrying his pipe along with a few cartridges in loops on his shirt. Good classic flick. Much easier to find pipe smoking in films of that era, tobacco was still good for you back then...

    HS Studio Purchase---Oops?

    The HSS pipe showed up today. The seller sent it priority, listing stated standard so that was nice. It looks great. Stem was very snug, maybe coming from dry AZ to damp New England created some swelling. Sanded the tenon down a bit with w/d 600 then applied some beeswax. Finish, mortise/tenon...

    This Is The End

    That is indeed the very "End" I had in mind when putting in the title. He took a pipe from the ancient gallery and he walked on down the hall.
