In the News
Such a tragedy. It's difficult for me to imagine the hatred that must exist in somebody to allow them to do something like this and to realize that such people live among us.- tuold

A Few "Non-Smoker Newbie" Thoughts
From my own experiance: Pipe smoking is a lot more of a subtle activity than beginners realize. The initial tendency is to light up and produce great clouds of tasty smoke, but it usually doesn't work that way. It's a lot more like tasting a fine wine. A gentle sniff and a sip is a close...- tuold

Yes, same here. For me it's having a nearly 80 year old pipe that looks like it just came off the store shelf. For fourteen bucks I couldn't pass it up.- tuold

Show Off Your LHS Pipes Here
No doubt, the smooth finish pipes are the most sought after, but these days I have to take what I can find! So when I bid on an Ebay Purex based on dark, blurry pictures I wasn't sure what I would get. Lucked out this time. It's a NOS Purex in the original (I think) box. I'm not a fan of the...- tuold

Pipe Collection Swells With 4 New Addtions
I don't think I did say! It's somewhere in Oregon....in SW Portland..... The proprietress told me pipe sales always pick up around Halloween. I find that fact to be a little disturbing. It means those "costume" pipes are either going to be tossed out afterwards or turn up on the estate market... -
Pipe Collection Swells With 4 New Addtions
I walked into my local antique shop the other day. As soon as the owner sees me come in, she pulls out a shopping bag full of pipes from under the counter. She told me they came from a recent estate sale she attended. I choose the two Masterson freehand pipes and the WDC Wellington. There were... -

Favorite Peterson?
I do like my Irish Harp 999, but this Aran 306 beats it by a small margin by being such a comfortable clencher and a well behaved sitter.- tuold

Sympathy?
Many years ago I worked as a steam train conductor at Disneyland. The round trip was only something like 16 minutes, but even that was too long for some hard core nic addicts to go without. It was quite a sight to see a hundred or so guests disembarking at Main Street with cigarettes already in...- tuold

Dave, that's a cool family portrait. jguss, thank you for all the Amricana information. That's just what I was hoping to hear. I noticed that odd lining after finishing reaming the chamber out. At first I thought it was meerschaum but it was too thin for that. Very interesting.- tuold

Show Off Your LHS Pipes Here
Thanks, Dave. I'll check that Etsy lead. Yeah, I admit it was me who made the bid. I watched it nearly down to the wire and there were no other takers. So $9.25 won it. I'm happy.- tuold

Show Off Your LHS Pipes Here
Here's an Americana. I imagine these were a fairly nice brand for LHS at one time. I wish I had some more information on it. This one is stamped "Pat Pending". I assume that's in regard to the novel stinger which is some sort of metal or ceramic bar that screws into threads on the stem. The...- tuold

After growing up on The Andy Griffith Show, Petticoat Junction, Gunsmoke, Leave It To Beaver and everything else wholesome, Married With Children was quite a shock to watch!

Piping Mishaps: Tales of Destruction
The only pipe I completely destroyed was my first estate from Ebay. I couldn't get the stem off, so I had this brilliant idea to grab the stem with pliers and twist the bowl. The stem exploded like a fragmentation grenade. I did collect all the pieces and glued them back together but it was...- tuold
