    Stain on Pipe Cleaner?

    I think I'll just buy some colored pipe cleaners at Hobby Lobby and then I won't notice.

    Stain on Pipe Cleaner?

    Thanks for this. Actually, the pipe tastes great. No problem there. Just colored pipe cleaners.

    Stain on Pipe Cleaner?

    I'm wondering if anyone has run across seeing the colored stain of a pipe on the end of the pipe cleaner after running it through the pipe. I just had my first smoke in an Ashton Canadian from 2009. It's an estate pipe, but it was unsmoked. When I ran a pipe cleaner through it, the color of...

    Moved on to Ashton Consummate Gentleman in this Dunhill bent Rhodesian and a cup of Earl Grey.

    What are You Reading Now?

    Well, I suppose students will read it and other academics. I'm an anthropologist. My favorite royalty check was one for $2.53. I have had better ones, but that one is particularly dear to me... Academic books don't usually sell much, but if they get cited, then all is good.

    What are You Reading Now?

    The Haunted Season, by G.M. Malliet. Also spent a lot of time reading my own writing, which is no fun, because galleys came in from the publisher.

    Talk to Me About Wrist Watches

    This is what I'm wearing most of the time lately. I have a few watches, but this seems to be my favorite. Bell & Ross GMT.

    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    Tonight was a particularly good smoke. Ashton Consummate Gentleman in an Ashton X pebble grain Rhodesian. The pipe helped me tonight as I thought about an altercation I had with a colleague on Friday. The tobacco and the pipe reminded me that arguments are about egos and that there is little...

    ***What Are You Smoking? December 2019.***

    Petersons University Flake, which I seem to be into lately, in Ascorti Rhodesian. This pipe is simply amazing. It's as though it was designed for my hand and smokes perfectly every time.

    Newest Pipe Order

    I've been wondering about Tsuge pipes, as well. I've spent many years in Japan and take great pleasure in Japanese craftsmanship when it comes to Han-made objects. I have a leather briefcase that was made in a shop in Tokyo that is spectacular. There is a great commitment to craftsmanship in...

    Newest Pipe Order

    Congrats. What a fascinating pipe. I've never seen anything quite like that. I, too, purchased a new pipe today from smokingpipes.com. I've been keeping a spot open on a rack for a 7th Ashton, and today I found it. A poker, a shape that I did not have, but have always liked. This is a...

    Thanks for that. I had no idea and was wondering what that was about.

    Peterson Questions

    What does that mean? "It's a big challenge for smoking-pies to inherit." Didn't really follow that.
