    A Question:

    This is a false claim. Tom requires 7 years of sleeping on a rice mat in the corner of the shop, sweeping up dust, before allowing you to even touch the wood. Most of these carvers just watched a YouTube video with Tom in it.

    Magnet Topped?

    Hey! That's my pipe. Had to check my cabinet before I realized I bought mine direct from Yashtalov and not from SP. Looks almost identical.

    Ugly Pipes

    I didn't want to throw fire bombs in the OP, but since you asked...the latest Todd Johnson drop at SP. $4K for a pipe that has bald grain, a MASSIVE pit right where you would see it while smoking and God knows what hiding underneath that awful leather shank cover. The stitching isn't even...

    Ugly Pipes

    You ever see a pipe that is so ugly you just can't stop thing about it? A pipe so hideous it makes you question the reliability of the reseller that procured it? A pipe so far from beautiful that you think to call a welfare check on the carver? And then see the price and think to yourself...

    PS Black Latakia 310 Discontinued

    So P&C says that Black Latakia has been discontinued due to some copyright issue. I have sent an email to Lane, but no response yet. Anyone have something similar with PS blends?

    Chicago Pipe Show 2020 Plans

    I just called and confirmed that the Westin has cancelled all reservations and events through the 4th. I have cancelled all of my plans. I think they should just skip this year. A poor performing show later this year will be worse than skipping 2020 and coming back strong in 2021.

    Nicotine Absorption: Cigarettes vs Pipes (Science Alert!)

    I was curious after I had some friends tell me their company was going smoke free. I bought a pack of 20 tests on Amazon. I tested myself 24 hours after driving home from Chicago this year. I must have had at least 5 bowls on the drive to Texas. If not more. My only question is does...

    Arlington, TX

    Hi jrbjr. DFW does not have a great selection of pipe shops. Some suggestions would be Cigar International in The Colony. Ole Grapevine Cigar & Tobacco Shop in Grapevine. Another suggestion would to come to Pop's Safari in Fort Worth on Thursday night, 6-10p, for our pipe meet up.

    How Many Of Us Are There?

    Does anyone have any data on how many pipe smokers there are? Whether that is world wide or just in the US? Per capita? Cigarette smokers is 20-25% (of adults) in the US, but pipe smoking has to be less than a fraction of a percent. Even at 1/3 of a percent that is 90K pipe smokers in the US...
