Who Buys These Pipes?
I have purchased a Benjamin Westerheide pipe--quite small, a scoop style, with one of the finest bits/lip I've ever encountered: sublime work. There's a distinction to be made between pipe smokers & pipe collectors. I can see many of the pipes in the above link being purchased not to smoke, but... -
Cob Lovers
My Carolina Gent arrived yesterday--very pleased. Has a great feel and I really dig the brick red stem + band. Neat little pipe. Am very curious to see what other styles they come up with in the future.- drydock

Smoking in Remembrance
So sorry to hear this. I believe that when the time is right, the answer simply comes--whether this happens immediately or weeks from now, or next year, it will come. And when it does, your dad will be right there with you.- drydock

Chance to Display Pipes -- But Not Sure How?
The wife is defo a keeper and I wake up feeling lucky and grateful every day! I know she's showing me that even though she worries about 'smoking' (and my motorcycle and so many other things), we both understand that we each have 'our things' that make us happy. And I'd no sooner try to change...- drydock

Chance to Display Pipes -- But Not Sure How?
Friends, I'm in a weird predicament. My wife & I are gently remodeling our cellar into a sort of lounge, comfort cave. We're using rustic, reclaimed pallet wood on some walls: have a free-standing bar, some great shelving, exposed bricks, a couple comfy mid-C Danish leather chairs, leaving the...- drydock

Inspired by Chasingembers 904 Collection...Kriswill Convoy
Yeah, it's a wonderful shape. But I don't bid very high via Ebay. There are many out there looking for new homes & if you're willing to patient, can be picked up for a reasonable price. Most of mine need to be rehabbed--which is partially why I'm able to get deals. I don't mind putting in the... -

So, would these qualify as a yacht shape? They're not a pick ax. -
Pipe Museums?
Gosh these sound fun. I can probably visit the MI & IN ones at some point.- drydock

Fancy Dunhill With Silver Canon Thrown In!
I think the cannon tamper is brilliant & if Dunhill released just that, as a solo purchase, I'd try to budget for it.- drydock

Inspired by Chasingembers 904 Collection...Kriswill Convoy
Different shot. All of these are in various states of restoration. A couple are finished--the rest are a mixed bunch. Some need simple cleaning, others need stems rebuilt...it's happy work that keeps me busy. I'm always on the lookout for the smaller versions (the top two). I like the Chiefs... -

I have to fight not to fall into the glorious Savinelli 904 trap...because I like this basic Kriswill shape so much, and they seem like cousins to me... -
Possible FIX for Photobucket MESS
I upload pics to the album feature here too. I'm playing around with a few other photo posting/sharing options too. Frankly, I'm torn between Flickr, Imgur & maybe Instagram options.- drydock

Irma, Here We Go Again
Too true about storm surge & flooded streets. When I was little, my parents & I got stuck in a flash flood, the car started floating with us in it toward the river. Mom climbed out window, dad handed me to her & then crawled out his window. They both made it to higher ground--and mom swears if...- drydock

What's Your Favorite Savinelli Series
Savinelli Menta 321, the smaller author shape. The pale mint swirl stem paired with the ruby-brown stain: yum. -
Anyone Have Experience With Buying Pipes At Estate Sales?
A few years ago I was browsing through a Habitat for Humanity shop. For anyone unfamiliar, it's a second hand shop for home goods and building supplies--everything is donated & then resold for a reasonable price. I saw an interesting looking table saw that had been dropped off on their dock &...- drydock

Attack of the B35s!
Agreed, the saddle stems are two of my favorites. Killarney (red with rings) and Aran (gold foil P). -
Anyone Have Experience With Buying Pipes At Estate Sales?
Wait, spoke too soon--that GBD 1751--is that the one that's sort of paneled, and then it transitions into a square, curved shank & stem? That's amazing. That's a really cool pipe.- drydock
