    "Greeneyes" Featured in SP.com's Online Magazine!

    It would be great to meet you at a pipe show someday, Al. I feel as though we have many friends in common. I don't know if you'll make Chicago this year? I feel like you're a regular at the Columbus show. I hoped to make it last year but I didn't get the opportunity due to work.

    I agree, I'd always assumed Oz is a veteran collector given the historical depth of his collection. Astounding pieces.

    Thanks George, OzPiper and Jesse!! It's always an honor being asked what you think, in any setting, and especially so on a platform as visible as that one. The idea for the interview came from a friend who persistently emailed Chuck Stanion, as Smokingpipes is always on the lookout for...

    Pets: Yes, They Will Eat You!

    I have many friends who are pet lovers and in particular several who are cat lovers. Cats are interesting animals in that they have had less proximity to humans over evolutionary time than dogs have, and thus retain many of their traits of independence---a fact which many cat "owners" will...

    While we have a 'receptive audience,' did anyone in this Circus pick this set up from Mr. O'Sullivan? https://www.ebay.com/itm/256368675291

    Salt and ̶a̶l̶c̶o̶h̶o̶l̶ benzine?

    Lignin (below), one of the main structural components of wood, contains aromatic benzene rings within its structure. You're likely going to get chemical "stacking" (interactions between the benzene rings) to some extent and possible retention of the benzene and even destabilization of the...

    Marlin Flake Tastes Like Stonehaven?

    I think I agree with Steve Fallon in his review that GH Kendal Dark tastes the most like Stonehaven. Very much under the radar.

    Help to Identify Pipe

    According to this Russian site the brand belonged to Briarcraft. I don't think it's very convincing given the differences in appearance, and I also don't know what the source of the information was.. https://mike-pipes.getsocio.com/en/deals/2858

    Tiny Meerschaum Cutty With History

    Having your horses poisoned by the rural Irish peasants who wanted their land back. Sounds unsettling. Sounds like a good setting for a horror-suspense film.

    Pipe Tobacco Scammers

    No, he didn't delete the page. He just blocked you. I can see it just fine. This ought to be a public service announcement somewhere, but the single biggest red flag for this type of scam is the low-quality photographs that have been copied and reposted countless times. An original photo...

    eBay lot of Kaywoodies and Comoys from the 1930s

    If I recall correctly it was a "Buy it Now" that was very modestly priced and was snapped up fairly quickly. Am I correct?

    I have seen old Meerschaum pipes in the old "Charatan's Make" logo cases, which I presume to be from the 1890 - 1920s. But this newer "disco" version was a surprise. Here is another example of a modern Charatan shape Meerschaum which was sold on a pipe website (sadly the link is dead but the...

    I feel somehow that Charatan had the meerschaums carved specifically for the firm, however, as that "skater" (?) shape is fairly distinctive of Charatan. It's a very '70s shape. There are a handful of these shapes that bear the "Charatan signature.". Another I think is the bent acorn or...
