    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    USD$70 each for a lot of tins a percentage of which will almost certainly have failed seals. And I would surmise that the buyer was willing to go much, much higher. I have two tins of this stuff around here somewhere, it's actually quite good. ;)

    Post-2015 Samuel Gawith, Bob Gregory’s Story

    I wish to add for the record that Bob Gregory's version of events extends beyond what was included in the letter posted here, and that even the letter itself was redacted after consultation with legal counsil to remove any mention of anything that might expose Bob to legal reprisal from the...

    I'd assumed it was something to do with McClelland in some odd way.

    Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

    It's an automated translation of a press release direct from Kopp. This is their Instagram account. If you like you can run your own translations or ask a German friend so you can be certain Google translate isn't misinterpreting anything . https://instagram.com/kopppipes

    Post-2015 Samuel Gawith, Bob Gregory’s Story

    I Think we ought to have left her out of this. We know her perspective after having read it over and over on social media. What we have now, thankfully, is the perspective from someone who was there and who had firsthand knowledge of the situation. Seems like at this point everyone can draw...

    Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

    I think that's the fault of the automated translation which likely keeps meaning to the essentials as much as possible while leaving context to the reader.

    Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

    My apologies---I inadvertently cropped out the bottom of the screenshot. It is an Instagram "press release" from Kopp.

    Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

    Another update. Apparently the HU brand will become the property of Kopp in five years. I suppose then they can make any quality-cost adjustments they see fit.

    School me on Cutty Shaped Pipes

    And from what I can gather after having read various newpaper articles circa 1850, the cutty had a strong association with working class tradesmen, Scotsmen and rural Irish men and women.

    School me on Cutty Shaped Pipes

    In the 1850 the cutty-pipe was sold in London as the famous "Robert Burns cutty pipe" with attention to the coloring that might be rapidly achieved when smoking it. In fact pipes were sold with his likeness upon them...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I'm looking forward to researching the Vintage Brown Smoking Pipe company, as I was in the market for just such a brown pipe and it was a decent find at £7. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/176062077153

    The Mystery of the Iron Cage

    You may have a sensitivity issue. I'd make sure to spread some Vaseline on the latch that releases the trap door. It may be "catching" in your case and not springing when the bait platform is perturbed. I prepare a little bait tray with peanut butter and nuts out of aluminum foil and I secure...

    Greetings from the Highland Plateau of Brazil

    I know a considerable amount about Brazilian Tobaccos, having frequented the various tabacarias during my six year residence in São Paulo, and in particular the tobacconists in the "Mercadão". Traditional varieties are rather heavier in nicotine than I believe most North American consumers are...

    Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

    Title edited for capitalization——please see Rule nine for titles. From Kopp Pipes Instagram account: "The deal is closed! We welcome Hans Wiedemann on board. KOPP Tobaccos will take care for the worldwide distribution of HU Tobacco..." I would assume this means that HU will eventually become...

    The Mystery of the Iron Cage

    These trail cams are fun. Here is a squirrel stealing my mouse traps. Now the squirrels have their own traps to contend with.
