Where Are All The Zulu Pipes, The Nice Ones
Found me this one for $89 out the door. http://www.ebay.com/itm/371615760546 I already have a Chacom, and I love it! Hopefully this one will be just as nice... -
Where Are All The Zulu Pipes, The Nice Ones
ok, I got on a Mac and now everything is working fine, and I can see the output of the search (stupid PCs :) ) Anyways, are Zulu's known for having a "small" bowl? I ask because the average "Outer Diameter" shown for the Zulus on SmokingPipes seems to be around 1.35" I like pipes at least 1.5"... -
Where Are All The Zulu Pipes, The Nice Ones
fitzy, Yes for some reason my browser is not giving back output when using the pipe locator function (can you tell I'm an Engineer Geek) at smokingpipes.com Hmmn, I'll have to write some html code to figure out why :) Todd -
Where Are All The Zulu Pipes, The Nice Ones
The Peterson that I saw is the "Mimmo Provenzano", but they call it a bent Dublin, and I don't know if it's a good quality pipe or not,? and the Savinelli that I saw was the Oscar Tiger but again I don't know if it's a good quality pipe? Besides the Comoy's Riband 87, I also found a Chacom Maya... -
Where Are All The Zulu Pipes, The Nice Ones
Hi guys, I'm interesting in getting me a Zulu pipe. When searching a few of the standard pipe sellers, all I find are the cheapos, maybe I'm just not searching right? Anyways, I'd like to get me a good quality Zulu maybe something between $110 to $150ish I should say, not just a Zulu in that... -
How Could Someone Make Their Own Navy Flake
For now, I just have one tin of tobacco that I don't care for the taste/flavor of and I'm willing to invest a couple of bucks and an hour of time (not counting the soaking time) in making. I don't think I need any super-hydraulic press (no place to keep it in the garage anyways), just a simple...- atjurhs

A Small Quantum Of Solace: Hospice and Old Dark Fired
"Old Dark Fired is one of the great jewels of our tobacconistic treasure chest… and with a little age on it, the deepness, complexity, and richness of the layers of the smoke are like few others." exactly! and thank you for your service to those who need it most - currunt ad auxilium aliis Todd- atjurhs

How Could Someone Make Their Own Navy Flake
shutterbugg, From what I've read about "Navy" tobaccos, you are right, rum does not have to be an ingredient, and the McBarren's Capstan Gold that I have was not made rum. Ok that said, the tin of tobacco that I have I don't like the flavor of, so I want to try the rum soaking that sailors of...- atjurhs

How Could Someone Make Their Own Navy Flake
Hi guys, So I've got a tin of Chonowitsch tobacco, that I don't care for, but after asking the "Characteristics of a 'Navy' Tobacco" in another thread in this Discussion forum, I've decided that I'd like to try and turn it into a "Navy" flake. So I plan to get some rum for the soaking portion of...- atjurhs

Characteristics of a "Navy" Tobacco
Yep, you guys are right, I should have searched first. I asked too early in the morning and without cup of coffee for my brain housing group to be function on all four cylinders. But from the read of those posts, I think I will go with: Navy Flake by Samuel Gawith, or Navy Cavendish by...- atjurhs

Characteristics of a "Navy" Tobacco
Hi guys, I like to stick to the classic blends (or at least "classics to me" 3 Oaks, 3 Nuns, any Frog Morton, Dark Fired Kentucky, Gas Light, Union Square, etc.) and definitely not aromatics. But I've been curious about what constitutes a "Navy" blend. Will somebody please characterize what...- atjurhs

Shiny to Dull
jpmcwjr, I understand the benefits, but I don't have the ability to post pictures, a bit handicapped that way. This is the only website/forum I've joined that doesn't have the ability to post pictures directly to the forum (without having to go through some 3rd party website). As for the finish... -
How do I sell an Artisan pipe
Hi guys, I "think" you have to be on this forum for a certain amount of time and made a certain number of post before you are allowed to use the classifieds, and I don't "think" I meet either of these. So, other than eBay, how sell an Artisan pipe? Thanks! Todd- atjurhs

Shiny to Dull
jpmcwr, there is still a bit of shine to the pipe, not much, but I'd like to get it as FLAT black as possible, so there is no shine at all, like what the inside of the bowl looks like -
