    I tried using alcohol inside the stem but it still wouldn't come out. So I emailed Bill Feuerbach at Kaywoodie who suggested freezing it, that and padded pliers did it. thanks, Rob

My second "candle wax" idea came to me one day while visiting with Rolando Negoita and watching him do some silver work. He made...

    Thoughts on Nording Pipes?

    I have one high end straight apple I bought when I met eric many years ago at Cheif Katoonah's in Ridgefield, CT. Great smoker. Being a hunter I collected most of his hunting series and would only smoke the pipe when I bagged the game. The ones I've smoked all smoke well.

    I'm not going to smoke, never know when Miss Right may come along or may just sell it to fund some other hobby. Toni, thanks for the pipes back then, you were a pleasure to deal with. Any idea how much is a Diamante these days? Rob

    Claudio Cavicchi

    A friend told me about Cavicchi about 15 years ago, he had purchased a few, including a Diamante, a simply gorgeous pipe. About 14 years ago I was contemplating getting married. I figured if I was going to shell out $thousands for a diamond ring I ought to at least get myself a Diamante. At the...

    You Dropped Your Pipe Where?!?! Tell Me Your Horror Story

    I had a member of our club arrive at a meeting a bit early and took a walk along the Hudson River, While crossing an inlet over a small foot bridge he leaned over to look down at the water and his minty pre-trans Barling fell out of his top pocket. It was so well broken in it sank like a stone.

    What's Your Favorite Pipe Smoking Movie?

    April 2013 Pipe Babe Katy - Fiery Red Hair and Tats

    Katy is a lovely woman and free to do what she wishes but I am, and have always been, of the opinion that the female form is so perfect in it's design that anything more than a pair of earrings detracts from it. JMHO and Katy, you go!
