Any Port Drinkers?
It’s hard to go wrong with the usual suspects—the big names like Graham’s, Quinto do Noval, Cockburn’s, Taylor, and Fonseca, have been around for a long time with good reason. They all have offerings at different price points. I generally prefer Vintage Port when I can get it. About once every...- TheIronMonkey

I had a funny thought—what if the Disney Company itself is buying these up at whatever price is necessary to remove any traces of their involvement with tobacco as some sort of revisionist history effort (that is probably tax deductible)?- TheIronMonkey

Show Us Your Most Prized Pipe!
That’s very cool, but it needs to be displayed showing the other side so that it reads “80” instead of “08”!- TheIronMonkey

Spoiled by Meerschaum
It seems a shame to dismiss a large chunk of your pipes over something that you have control over. Based on things you have written in this post and in other threads about not being able to taste things in certain tobacco blends, I would highly recommend refining your smoking technique. By your...- TheIronMonkey

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
In the book collecting world, there are some collectors that buy high spots in literature, often with no specific focus, and match what you describe as a generalist. My own collecting tendencies lean towards the completist, where I take things to the logical extreme and try to get everything...- TheIronMonkey

Two Months!
Either we’re going to see frightening photos of one of you modeling this as a “muscle shirt” or cute pics of your kid/grandkid in it. Be afraid. Be very afraid.- TheIronMonkey

Show Us Your Radice Pipes
I’m glad your pipe finally arrived! Maybe it’s the angle of the photo, along with the swirls in the stem throwing things off, but the two dots don’t look like they’re aligned with the center of the stem. Are they straight? Or intended to be askew? Having never handled a Radice, I’m not...- TheIronMonkey

Do Missouri Meerschaum Hardwoods Last Longer Than Cobs?
@Skippy B. Coyote Might it make sense to just get some budget beater pipes made of briar to take on the go? There are a vast number of basket or estate pipes (or second lines made by big companies) that might be found for less than some cobs cost.- TheIronMonkey

This Seller Wished Upon The Right Star (Disney Pipe Auction)
It’s not entirely surprising to see a lesser pipe go for a lot of money. In other fields of collecting, the better known, most desirable items usually command a premium. What ends up happening is that dealers only focus on locating and stocking those high spot type items and the lesser known...- TheIronMonkey

Dedicated Pipes
I used to have a loose colour code for different genres of tobacco, i.e., light finish for Virginias, dark finish for Englishes, etc. As time has gone on, I have amassed enough pipes to dedicate specific pipes to specific blends (and their variants). Some are used more broadly. Sometimes my...- TheIronMonkey
