    Help Me Choose An English/Balkan Bulk

    Kramer's Father Dempsey is a favorite of mine. It's too cheap for its quality. But my favorite one is probably Boswell Northwoods - latakia and cavendish melding perfectly together.

    Castello Pipe Shapes

    @Paul and @oldgeezersmoker, those are really great tips. Thanks to you I think I found some Castello shapes that I can't live without. Great stuff!

    Castello Pipe Shapes

    @Paul, I browsed some pictures of Castello lovats. Although they are pretty clearly italian designed pipes with dramatic tapers and such-nots, they do look good - particularly the shorter shanked ones. Thank you for your input, I'll keep an eye on those.

    Do Estate Pipe Crimp the New Pipe Market?

    I am a very small collector and I will say that the estate market allowed me to educate myself on different grades of pipes, on what kind of pipe works best for me, on what makes a pipe collectable and desirable, and on the difference, the fine line, between craftsmanship and art in pipemaking...

    Castello Pipe Shapes

    I don't know. Castellos are always on my mind when the time to get a new pipe arrives as I really like a lot of things about their pipes, like the finish on those light stained searocks with black rims, the logo on the stem, and of course the quality of craftsmanship that Castello owners are...

    What Do You Like Or Dislike About An Oom Paul?

    It's surprising to me that such a popular shape, with such a strong cult following, has found so little support in this forum! Oom Pauls are usually not for me because they tend to be on the larger side and I'm a small bowl type of guy. Also prefer straights or very slightly bent pipes - as...

    Danish School?

    I just wanted to weigh in on the American School debate: Smokingpipes.com has a video on Alan Brothers pipes in which Jeff Gracick kinda suggests that the "American School" may be defined with a particular type of aesthetics: muscular, stout, forward heavy and compact. Maybe there's something...

    Pipe Culture Documentary, "Father the Flame Flame" is Here!

    @chilllucky Thank you so much for the offer, that's very kind. For the time being I guess I'll wait a bit to see if the movie becomes available around these parts because, and I can't really blame anyone else for this - I also don't own a DVD player. But thank you again!

    Pipe Culture Documentary, "Father the Flame Flame" is Here!

    I really wanted to support the filmmakers and buy this movie but it's not available in my country. I'm unconsolable... Any solutions?

    Another Stem Material?

    He didn't disagree that the stem is a replacement, but that it looked bad. That's just stubborn.

    Another Stem Material?

    Yang, you own an impressive collection and the pride you have in it is very moving. Thank you for sharing great pictures of your pipes. However, it is odd to me how someone who describes himself as "new to the hobby", "not an expert" and "here to learn from those who have years of knowledge" can...

    Greetings from Curitiba, Brazil!

    Oi, Rafael, bem vindo! Para fumar cachimbo no Brasil é necessário praticar, no mínimo, receptação. Podemos trocar experiências e dicas, me manda uma mensagem privada se tiver interesse!

    I Am Afraid My Pipes Are Ruined, Looking for Advice

    Wow, that story made my blood boil. The level of disrespect is unbelievable from a 16 year old - which is not exactly a kid anymore. I pray that your temper is much better than mine as I would not deal well at all with the situation. I can't help you but I really hope you can restore your pipes...

    Quintessential Pipe from Various Makers?

    Savinelli - As mentioned, the 320. Missouri Meerschaum - Certainly the Legend. Stanwell - One of Sixten's designs. Either the 11 (my favorite) or the 86.

    Stanwell: Italian Made, pre-2010 and Registration Era

    Thank you Sas and Seldom for your input. Actually, one of the most important features I look for in a Stanwell pipe is if it was designed by either Sixten, Tom or Jess. I usually consult this german site for reference: http://www.stanwell-tabak-pfeife.de/f5-STANWELL-TOP-THEMA.html. It's a...

    Stanwell: Italian Made, pre-2010 and Registration Era

    Hello. I have just ordered two estate pipes to add to my ever growing collection of Stanwells. The ones I own are all new stock "designed in Denmark" but made in Italy. I love them and to me, they smoke and look better than any Pete or Sav I've tried. Well, this time I have a pre-2010 and a...

    Briarworks Quality?

    Well, I'm one of those annoying Briarworks fans. That's because while I had owned very well established and highly regarded briars before, I was a harcore cob snob for years. It was an Icarus bent apple that truly converted me: one smoke out of that bowl and I understood.

    Clean pipe without pipe cleaner

    Since here in Brazil pipe cleaners are somewhat expensive, what I usually do is I rip a tape out of paper towel and then twist it up tightly, then I pass it through the stem before passing a pipe cleaner. That way, the bulk of the gunk is removed by the paper towel and then I can kinda reuse the...
