    Fisherman: What's In Your Tackle Box?

    Because it was cherry red with a racing stripe!

    Being a Codger is Hard

    I am not old by any metric other than my own yet, so I can't claim any hardship related to age. Well, these gray hairs are alarming, but anyway. I do look forward to the days when I can wax poetical about the inexorable march of time like ol' Cosmic. But that don't mean I can't plan ahead...

    Hello From Georgia

    Hello Georgia, from the Texas of Canada! Sucks about your Dad, but at least you can come here and learn about his hobby. Maybe you'll feel more of a connection with him as you smoke? It's a pretty reflective pastime. You might even be able to hand down one of his pipes to one of your kids...

    List Your Pipes

    I feel like whenever I get new stuff, pipes or tobacco, I come here and just sort of casually cram that news into five or six threads. Whether it's related or not, so I'll just post a pic of this humble seconds pipe. It's a Carlo Duca Lumberman, which is a Savinelli off brand. The reason I...

    What Would be the Most Important Factor in Getting a Dunhill?

    Making sure it's a birth year one, and made by Ashton.

    Fisherman: What's In Your Tackle Box?

    Fishing license! Fun story, I once reported myself to the Alberta Fish and Wildlife for poaching. One year there was a mix-up with the F&W guide books, they posted the wrong start date for a few locations. One of which I happened to fish at regularly. So I got my guide book for the year, got...

    What Kind of Pipe Smoker are You?

    So basically you're saying some of us are posers and some are the real deal? I'm gonna have to call BS on this one, sorry mate. This is the type of attitude that makes tobacco shop owners say rude things to people. Pipe smoking literally saved me from another 20 years of cigarette addiction...

    AWOL, Back Now. Smoking Mac Baren til the Cows Come Home....

    Well the pipes are mostly not a problem, it's finding something decent to stuff in them for a sane and reasonable price that's the issue! But I think smokingpipes.com is going to come around for me, so at least there is that. Just a shame it's nearly impossible to support local tobacconists...

    Brigham Mountaineer 363

    Oh, another dissatisfied Brigham owner... I've got just the solution for you! Either rusticate or retire, Brigham ain't gonna do diddly squat for ya. I got a Mountaineer 316 and the build quality was less than some basket pipes I own.

    A Pipe Smoker's Vices

    My sympathies. I too know what it's like to be objectified for my rugged good looks. Good thing this here pipe in my craw keeps the more liberal women at bay for fear of falling in desperate clinging love with a tobacco user.

    A Pipe Smoker's Vices

    Exactly! Then when you're eating cheesecake you remember your friend who always ate too much and you had to give them the Heimlich that one time and it ruins the sugar buzz. But as I've said, pandemic going on (they say) so no pesky humans to make me feel bad about indulging! Well that's...

    Show Me Your Favorite Tobacco Knife!

    Not so much my tobacco knife as my pocket knife. A Douk Douk I picked up a few weeks ago at Lee Valley Tools. Haven't cut any plugs yet, but I'm sure it will work fine.

    CIA Concealed Radio Pipe

    Say... Anyone see Dark Legacy I & II on Amazon Prime yet? Apparently there was a CIA guy who smoked a pipe and he might have been the shooter on the grassy knoll... Guys (and gal) this might be the pipe that pipe smoking CIA guy smoked while he was on the grassy knoll. You know there were...

    Shocking Lack of Knowledge

    Hey! What's wrong with cigarettes, rolling papers and nudie mags? That's half my childhood right there!

    SmokingPipes.com

    Smoking pipes.com just stretched $20 CAN about as far as you stretch polymer money! Now to see if my clever plot to avoid the ire of the CBSA works. Also, worth pointing out for those of worried about the current, ahem, status... of the US postal service, it sounds like the el' cheapo shipping...

    New Zealand Proposed Ban On Purchase By Future Generations

    A Pipe Smoker's Vices

    So this thread reminds me of an Ugly Kid Joe song, though I hardly think riding motorcycles is a vice. I used to enjoy plenty of vices! However as I age and mellow like a fine Cyprian Latakia I find that other people have ruined many vices for me. Mostly by over-serving themselves...

    Rusticated Brigham to Fix Excessive Fills.

    Thanks! I make it out like I have really high expectations and I tend to dramatize everything, mostly for fun, but seven fills just seemed like too much. I have a Savinelli off brand pipe that cost a little less and it's got two fills that have stayed in through a couple whoops moments, so I...
