    Flea Market Finds!

    Hmmm . . . My dictionary indicates that "Brier" and "Briar" are pretty much equivalent in definitions. Never looked them both up together before.

    My WDC Wellington's

    I have two of them: a 5-1/2" with a yellow stem, and a Giant. I'm really quite fond of both pipes. P&C's recent clearance sale got me a pipe they had listed as a "Wellington Medium Paneled Churchwarden." However, the only markings on it are "ROMA" on the left side of the shank and "ITALY" on...

    Another Anatomically Reminiscent Pipe

    For a whole lot less than the $5,000 in that other thread: Nude Cigarette Holder from Block Meerschaum $239 but there's a "pre-order" sale Nude Cigarette Holder from Block Meerschaum $295 but there's a "pre-order" sale

    DARK SHADOWS

    I remember reading once that J.F. had said that they had to block scenes so that he could take out his fangs without being caught on camera and say his lines, then put his fangs back in unseen. Apparently it was hard to talk clearly with them in the mouth.

    Is One of My Czech Tools Fake?

    One major problem with any design of tampers, whether Czech, nail or golf tee, is that they often dig their own escape route from your pocket.

    A Surprise Gift From My Parents.

    Every time I've gotten a piece of green glassware for my sister, it's turned out to be from one of the other two sets of green glassware from the same era. Gave up on watching for those a while back.

    The Shape of this Pipe...It’s Not Just Me, Right?

    Really, that wooden box is a beautiful case.

    Is One of My Czech Tools Fake?

    I would suspect that any patents on the Czech tool are long-expired, which leaves anybody who thinks they have a market for them can make and sell the same design (with whatever markings they prefer).

    Spell Czech Two The Rest Cue

    A lesson to KILL OFF all auto-correct functions as soon as you unbox any device.

    Look at this Stem! Never Seen This Before

    This kind of stem-bending is briefly visible in one of those "making clay pipes" videos on YT, but I don't remember which one.

    How Is Pipe Stamping Done?

    I have one inexpensive Chinese-made churchwarden on which the stamp appears to have actually been cut by a 3D router rig, including on one side of the shank the month and year the pipe was made.

    Pipes and Cigars Sale

    The "Wish List" of saved items pulls up the current prices from their database when it displays. If there's been a price change, sometimes it displays an amount it changed by.

    Chimneys Forever............

    Greetings from Maine. Hope your region doesn't get those Nor'Easters that like to bury your doorways along with your town.

    What's Your White Whale?

    I'd like to find a match for the English blend from Vottis' pipe shop that used to be in Schenectady NY. Mr. Vottis (don't know which brother) sold me a 1-pound paint-can of it during the winter of '73-'74 when I was stationed at CoTP Albany. None of the blends that I've tried in the past...

    DARK SHADOWS

    Dark Shadows was my Mom's last soap opera for the day, and it ended up with me sitting down and watching it with her when I got home from school. I remember once coming home on leave, and taking my Mom to the theater to see one of the Dark Shadows movies.

    Why Is "Three Nuns" So Named?

    Barbican is the name of one part of a fortress castle's gate area, but damned if I can remember right at this moment just which part it was.

    Ohm Turkish Red By UPS

    I smoked my way through a bag of Ohm Turkish Red shortly after I first discovered online tobaconists. Don't remember much about it beyond thinking "so what else haven't I had a chance to try out?" at the time. I currently have a bag of Ohm Turkish Yellow waiting for me to try out.

    Funny And Odd Sayings From Our Elders

    The old saw about "God willing, and the Creek don't rise." was originally in reference to worry about a possible uprising by the Creek tribe of Native Americans against the settlers crowding them out of their homelands.
