Thoughts on Giant Pipes
I like to have pipes of all sizes in my stable. I have little sub Group 1 mini wardens which are awesome for a quick smoke, or to load up a sample at a pipe show. For you new people, we used to be able to collect in gatherings of more than four people, stand closer than 2 metres from each other... -
Finally! An Estate Pipe Of Reasonable Quality In The Local Buy & Sell
... only to find out that the vendor has it listed at a price which is higher than buying it new from The Danish Pipe Shop, having it shipped to NZ, and paying the duty on it. Darn it all to heck. This country is murder on PAD. In other news, if I get desperate I can buy the Estrella the same... -

Bonjour / Hi from Montreal
Bienvenue! I love Blatter & Blatter, and they are a wonderful B&M. I've had long chats with Robert over the years and had my hands on over 50 Blatter pipes at one time or another. For favourite B&M in Canada, though, my heart is with Victory Cigars in Oshawa, though, as they were my local for...- pruss

The After Midnight Club Redux 2020
? I’ve seen a passel of Leopard Seals... those things scare me way more than sharks. They are like giant Siamese cats of the sea. We have family in Dunedin, it looks like an awesome place. Also, they get snow. I miss snow... on December 24th and 25th. — Pat- pruss

I am in East Auckland. I have seen most of the North Island. I think the family will do a South Island tour this year. Fly into ChCh and rent a camper to do the grand tour of the SI. — Pat- pruss

The After Midnight Club Redux 2020
Yep. Had a job offer I couldn’t refuse and was able to bring my wife back to within a kilometre of her sisters and folks. Now, approaching 3 years later, we’re putting another 10km and an estuary between us. lol — Pat- pruss

Family Heirloom Found! (Kaywoodie)
Super cool. Nice one! One of the first pipes I ever cleaned up was my Grandmother’s Butz Choquin mini-warden. It will only take half a flake, but every time I see the pipe I can see her smoking it at the dining room table after breakfast with a huge cup o’ Joe in front of her. — Pat- pruss

Dunhill Really Special?
I would love to know what you think. https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/the-dunhill-arrived.51547/ You bought this pipe back in 2016, you must have formed an opinion by now. I’m only chasing good condition Dunhills from before 1980, and only to add to my collection of Rhodesians and... -
Newbie Help...
Oh man... now that’s a question. So, if it’s your first pipe, I’d say some basic guidance would be to buy a pipe that you find appealing. The right look, the right feel, the right weight, how it fits in the hand, whether or not it is light enough to clench... all these things will play on how... -

If You Were a Tobacconist...
Oh man... tough question. Like Harris, I want to help the new pipe person to become enmeshed in the ritual of pipe preparation and sublime smokes. Like everyone else, I want repeat business. So while I’d like to recommend Capstan Blue as the Virginia, I cannot. Because Harris and Peck (bless...- pruss
