Isn't that thing a little small for you? A kindly gift, to a very deserving man. Congrats! -- Pat -
Brand New Pipe. Cracks/Voids in Chamber Wall. What Would You Do?
If it's under warranty I would faff around, I'd have it replaced. Could you coat the bowl with something inert that would fill the voids? Probably... he says with limited confidence. Would that dix mean you wouldn't burn out? I wouldn't bet on it. -- Pat- pruss

I Need Help With This Comoy's.....Please
Your pipes look orange/red. I also see scratches in the surface of the pipe, and a satin finish. Nomenclature has also taken a hit. Grain contrast has been lost in the refurb. Keep doing whatever you want, that's your prerogative. But when you ask for assistance, and are sarcastic and...- pruss

My Canadian Christmas.
Congrats! Those two guys are aces, and it looks like they took good care of you. Pretty remarkable that you had a Canadian made Canadian sent to you from Kansas, and a French made Canadian sent to you from Canada. The pipe world is small indeed! -- Pat- pruss

Blatter "Select" Gift
Looks lovely, Al. Nicely done! Virginialover nailed it, that's the 245th pipe made from 1986. The "Select" line was a step up from the standard "Blatter" house pipes and were specifically selected stummels. Pipes bearing the signature were completely hand made by Robert Blatter. I understand... -

All Your Pipes, Double Your Money; Would You?
I'm with Sable... double my money? I'm rebuilding the collection. While it is true that some pieces would be hard to find again, the hunt is as interesting as the collecting to me. -- Pat -

The (un)Official Pipes Magazine Secret Santa - 2016 Edition
Now, now, Nate, there's no need for feeling down. This exchange has always been a, "2) Agree to send a gift of two (2) sealed tobacco tins, pouches, etc. of 50g each (or the equivalent volume of tobacco in sealed condition), incurring costs for the present and shipping." exchange. Anything...- pruss

On The Use Of The Word "Aromatic"
I'm more like to suggest that the word aromatic used in this context is an exact use of the word in a context in which it has been applied inexactly, for a long time. In pipe tobacco parlance "aromatic" is synonymous with "flavoured" or "flavour infused", where in common parlance "aromatic"...- pruss
