Broken Pipe - Bob Swanson, Perry White Pipes
After a courageous battle with Parkinson's Disease, Bob Swanson, maker of Perry White Pipes, passed away yesterday afternoon. Bob was one of our hobby's true gentlemen and was always very generous. In fact, a few years ago at the West Coast Pipe Show in Las Vegas, Bob shocked me by gifting me...- pipestud

Cheap Dunhill Pipes Too Good to be True ?
Well, you sure were expert enough to know that band is not original. Dunhill pipes with Sterling Silver not only have their "AD" triangular marking, the word "sterling" is not on them. -

Hello From Waco, TX

Age Of Ogden’s Gold Block Tin?
In the early 1970's English and Irish tobacco tins began showing the weight in both ounces and grams before going to straight grams at a debated point later in the 1970's. Since rectangle tins began appearing with Ogden's in the 1960's (St. Bruno Flake as an example), I am inclined to believe...- pipestud

Pipestud Once Again Needs Pipe Identification Help, Please?
alaskanpipe actually easily solved the mystery and I'm headed to the eye doctor. Below is what is marked on the side of the shank. And I just discovered that the nomenclature I posted a photo of above indicates that the pipe was made by Per Hansen. Once again, this forum has all the answers... -

You may be onto something workman. The pipe you posted a photo of has a stem the spittin' image of this one. -
Pipestud Once Again Needs Pipe Identification Help, Please?
This pipe is another from the collection of a deceased collector whose widow sent me his pipes. She doesn't have a clue who made this one and, ashamedly, neither do I. I guess you should really call me Pipedud! The pipe is Danish is style but I sure don't recognize the nomenclature. Any help... -

When Buying Vintage Tins...
Hi select565, Since I am a site sponsor and since I do sell vintage tobacco, I kind of have a bullseye on my back right now. If it was me who sold you five dried out tins of a particular blend, please do let me know. I am hoping it was not me. I can be fooled on one tin but five of them is a...- pipestud

Anyone Else Disappointed?
Retailers and etailers appreciate the support they get from the pipe community because it is already a tough way to make a living and getting tougher all the time. As an example using Texas law since that's the state I operate in, if a retail shop sells you a 4 ounce tin of tobacco they...- pipestud

Dang! I Missed Pipestud’s Grand Re-opening!
Thank you all for the overly kind comments. After being down for two months I was worried that you guys may have forgotten about me. My family was excited to learn that I was able to put a little beef in the beans at the supper table again. Seriously, you guys are the best and thank you!- pipestud

Larrysson Pipes
A couple of years ago, Paul emailed me and asked if I would trade a couple of old 100g tins of Dunhill Royal Yacht for a pipe that he would make for me. I took him up on the offer and am glad I did. He knew that I was a lover of American made tan blast pipes in more or less classic shapes and...
