    Cornell & DIehl Small Batch - "The Beast"

    This looks interesting, no info on the C&D site that I could find other than "The Beast 2oz" BTW, It's been a while but I think John Symonds' book King of the Shadow Realm goes into Crowley's (iirc) honorary 33rd degree after being accused of pilfering that degree's highest rite involving some...

    This Is The End

    Nice to hear some of you have had a pleasant experience with Il Ceppos. Thanks for the Pipedia link dmc. This one is stamped, along with hand made and Italy, Huber Munchen. Some affiliation with Pfeifen Huber in Munich/Munchen I assume?

    This Is The End

    ....Maybe...for a little while at least. It had been 20 years since I purchased a briar pipe, in the last 2 months I've made up for it a bit. A ten pipe binge and this one IS the last. I'm putting my foot down, no more will I fall prey to the siren song of the briar...well...till next time...

    More---and better---pics of Chris Asteriou's billiard

    WOW, at this point in time I don't particularly gravitate towards billiards but that up there is a stunner. Crisply photographed too! Glad to hear you succumbed to enjoying its tobacco cooking qualities.

    HS Studio Purchase---Oops?

    I should have clarified the title of the post that my concern lay more with ebay seller not necessarily HS studio. I had assumed that benandci was the sole outlet. Apologies for any slanderous confusion.

    HS Studio Purchase---Oops?

    What is the best way to do that? Reamer? Abrasive flap wheel?

    HS Studio Purchase---Oops?

    Interesting info there gloucesterman. I've a friend who does business in China, he has often mentioned the questionable practices one has to deal with as a matter of course, still loves it though.

    HS Studio Purchase---Oops?

    Cosmic, I just "won" the auction last evening but will report on it's smoking/quality characteristics. As stated above, I don't think this particular pipe is a direct copy it just seems many of their designs were borrowed from the Danish pipemakers which may just be a form of flattery. I'm going...

    HS Studio Purchase---Oops?

    Just bought an HS Studio Pipe from that benandci character then did some research because...well...they look similar in design to other pipes I've seen for much more money and was somewhat skeptical of their origin. As many here already know the "guy/outfit," whatever is a wee bit of a shyster...

    Crowley's Rum Soaked Perique 93

    I'll have to try this. Decades ago, I read Crowley's autohagiography or Confessions of AC and his fiction, MC and DDF. I recall dousing Captain Black with Captain Morgan after coming across it somewhere in those writings and smoking it in my first briar, a deep Hungarian bent. Don't recall what...

    Updated View of My Cellar

    My god, that's an apocalypse stash, I feel so unprepared. Very nice.

    What do I have here?!

    Yes, picture would help, but probably not me. Does said wine shop happened to be owned by mad Max?

    New Two Cousins 12-Pipes Rack

    That is a nice piece of pipe furniture, looks great. I loved the "WE"VE been needing it" part. My wife just spied my new 5 pipe rack on my desk: Oh that's cute, did it come with the pipes? uhh.....

    High Gloss Pipe Finish?

    Are you using a buffing wheel and something like this carnauba wax bar?: http://www.amazon.com/Beall-Tools-Carnauba-Wax-5-1/dp/B0037MM4PC

    Peterson Sherlock Holmes

    Petersonaddict, Maybe you've seen this post on the IPPC, if not here it is (2nd down): https://btheinternationalpetersonpipeclub.runboard.com/t2050 Sounds as if you can inspect before buying? That would be the way to go. I had a Baskerville arrive yesterday, a 1991. It has a 2-3mm fill on the...

    Some Great Music To Smoke To.

    For those cold, cricketless nights, some Bunnysuit fills the void: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MUc4TvKUm9s&list=RDMUc4TvKUm9s Sigur Ros works well too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LeQN249Jqw And the "dark side" of SR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc6zXSdYXm8

    Outdoorsman's Pipe Kit

    Thanks for the heads up gloucesterman. I'd been looking at a waxed canvas fly wallet from ll bean and trying to figure how to make it work. This is perfect, just ordered one. Bradley Mountain should probably get you a commission.

    Some Great Music To Smoke To.

    This has to be my all time favorite pipe smoking music, been listening for decades, never gets old. Need to hear it live though to do it justice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJmlD4_mABg

    Some Great Music To Smoke To.
