    Sorry for your loss.

    Democracy Manifest

    We were quoting him on our porch several weeks ago with our friend, John, and neighbour, Terry, and having great laughs. Sad to hear this news.

    SSJONES Life Update

    Good luck! Moving is incredibly stressful, but I imagine being closer to your family is well worth it. I hope the humidity doesn’t impact your pipe smoking too much.

    Why?

    There are a variety of factors that come into play when it comes to perceived value when it comes to pipes or any item someone might be passionate about (rare books, records, cars, you name it). With pipes, after you get past the mechanics involved in providing a problem free smoke, you get into...

    Show off Your Ropp Pipes here!

    Most of you have seen the various Cherrywood Eugène-Léon Ropp pipes with natural horn stems that I smoke in the WAYS threads; they’re all stamped “Bussang,” which means they were very likely made at Ropp’s original workshop there between 1870–1893. Below is a Ropp you would not have seen in any...

    Collecting—an Addiction?

    Yes, of course, but this is the quote we all remember:

    Eye Floaters

    I’ve had the clear squiggly floaters since I was a kid. I have a large darker one in my right eye from several years ago when I took a spill on the sidewalk and hit my face on the pavement (fortunately, covered with snow, which lessened the impact a bit). It’s still noticable and distracting...

    Random Pipe Shop, Como IT

    Nice score! That’s their 135th Anniversary pipe with Giancarlo Savinelli’s signature on the stem; the magnetic base is a fun touch.

    Just finished a Dunkin’ Donuts Extra Large Hazelnut Coffee with cream and no sugar.

    House, Outside Or Both?

    I smoke cigars on the porch and on walks; pipes inside the house—I tried pipes in the apartment, but it made things too stale and stinky there. Thankfully, Susan doesn’t mind pipes in the house.

    Perfect Foods

    Ten freshly steamed White Castle hamburgers from a White Castle location (not from the frozen food section in a supermarket). Mmmmm.

    Gathering Info on a James Upshall Pipe

    My Upshall from the Empire Series has a Cumberland stem (I’ve seen others with them). https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/what-are-you-smoking-april-2024.104101/post-37011440

    Gathering Info on a James Upshall Pipe

    I believe the FH stamp came into use after Ken Barnes left, if that helps.

    What Does Abusing a Return Policy Look Like?

    Buying something on eBay via an auction seems a little different to me than buying a set sale from a retailer; if the item is as described, it’s my obligation to complete the transaction as the high bidder and winner of the auction. Only if there was an undisclosed condition (or other) issue...

    Leave Stems Unattached?

    I let the pipe cool completely, disassemble, clean, reassemble.

    Help Me Name This Blend

    I’m imagining a vintage commercial with a voiceover: “You know you’re in trouble when she prefers the double dong and her flatmate Beatrice over you.” Cut to girlfriend and Beatrice in their white go-go boots, giggling and heading to the bedroom. “Two-timing Cocksmoker . . . for the man that...

    Should this thread be merged with the new Ropp thread?
