    Who Remembers Smoking Cars?

    Well I'm a bit young for smoking trains but I do remember the segregated smoking sections in restaurants!

    9mm filters

    Good on ya for spreading the supplies instead of just tossing them!

    Beginner Pipes

    Lots of good advice here from the old timers. Personally, as a new smoker, I find myself following some of the advice here on top of trying everything I can! So far here's my collection, next up is to add a Meer and a Churchwarden. I'm also on the hunt for a proper Peterson System Premier or...

    Bowl Brush Opinions

    Ah yes, the fantastic cross compatibility between gun cleaning tools and pipe cleaning tools!

    A Return to Pipes, Hello From Vegas!

    Thanks and I have to agree 100%, it's a fantastic smoke!

    Show us your Ugliest Pipes!

    What is going on here?? That looks like a hematite in the middle but I have no idea what the purple stones are.

    Looking for 19th Century Pipe

    I have a pipe marked with Century Old briar but I still have to do some research on it, haven't been able to find a matching brand anywhere for the stamping.

    Pipe Tobacco Packing Techniques/Methods

    When I first started as a Pipe smoker years ago I tried a few different methods from that first article, namely the Triple pack and the Frank methods. But as a returning pipe smoker let me add in here, I'm very rusty at packing a pipe to the point where I can tell the draw from the resistance...

    A Return to Pipes, Hello From Vegas!

    It smells POWERFUL, like a smoky spicy hickory peppered Jerky stick! I love your avatar by the way, fantastic movies to enjoy with a pipe.

    A Return to Pipes, Hello From Vegas!

    I did indeed! You're spot on, the chocolate hit me like a ton of bricks and its next on my list of tobaccos to try tomorrow. Check out this video on the method from this very website! It's actually pretty intuitive, you want to make a plug with your fingers, pinch it real good in 3-4 fingers...

    Starting A Collection/ Returning to Pipe Smoking - Tons of Questions for Vetrens!

    Sage advice, I certainly ascribe to trying different tobaccos in small amounts!

    A Return to Pipes, Hello From Vegas!

    Hello fellow pipers! Some of you may of contributed to my ongoing question thread already so thank you very much! I figured if I'm utilizing your knowledge and opinions I might as well introduce myself, so here goes nothing. I'm returning to pipe smoking, it being my first introduction to...

    Starting A Collection/ Returning to Pipe Smoking - Tons of Questions for Vetrens!

    Thanks! That was a good read, and I am looking at Gneod and Brigham too now that people keep bringing it up. I'd like to try a filter pipe and, from what people are saying, rock maple seems to be a good get.

    Starting A Collection/ Returning to Pipe Smoking - Tons of Questions for Vetrens!

    These restorations are amazing! The thrill of seeing something beautiful emerge from those old worn pieces of timber is partially why I'm keen on looking into doing it myself. Do you use many specialty tools? I hear the basics are 800-3500 micro mesh sand pads, Oxyclean, and elbow-grease. So...

    Starting A Collection/ Returning to Pipe Smoking - Tons of Questions for Vetrens!

    That is a great question, I think quality but since I'm just starting I don't want to sink $90-150 on a single piece that I might not use if it doesn't smoke well, if that makes sense? Hence why I was looking at estate lots, I figure if there's at least 15 pipes that look nice to me and smoke...

    Starting A Collection/ Returning to Pipe Smoking - Tons of Questions for Vetrens!

    Hello fellow pipers! After almost a decade of cigarette and cigar smoking I've decided to drop those habits by the wayside and go back to my original love of smoking pipes! Here's the dilemma, back when I first started there was a fantastic little B&M shop near me called Smokers Haven where I...

    BIRTH YEAR Pipe

    Ok this is a weird coincidence but I just did this a few days ago. Now that everyone is mentioning big name brands with easily identifiable stamps I might have gotten a little ripped off, but for the price I couldn't pass it up. What I did was search SP and SP EU with just my birth year as well...
