Best Affordable Pipe Brands
The last pipe I bought which was under $200 was a beautifully clean estate Castello Sea Rock Canadian from the 1970s. It is one of my best smoking pipes, and I'd buy the same way any day of the week versus buying a new Savinelli, Peterson or Stanwell. YMMV -- Pat- pruss

Some Interesting Ebay Auctions (Nov 29, 2015)
Nice conversation, lads, great information and consideration all around. Al, I passed on the XL999. While I covet it, it was at the price where I had to answer the terrible question, "Do I really want to spend $100.00 right now on a pipe that is going to be number ten in the queue of personal...- pruss

War Horse Bar Prototype Arrived Today!
I have been here far more often than I'd like to admit. I approach nic heavy blends with preparation eerily similar to getting read for an even in which I might be imbibing more than an average amount of alcohol. I try to make sure that I'm well fed, and well hydrated. I also plan to smoke...- pruss

Waxing Some Pipes, My First Time
I cannot speak highly enough of the good ol' Dunhill pipe wipe. There's nothing wrong with your process Nate, the wipe is just an alternative method of waxing and polishing. -- Pat- pruss

Deep Pipe Cleaning and Resting
Zombie thread or not, as a guy who tries to resurrect old briar on a semi-regular basis I can tell you that my job would be a lot easier if guys like anarchisthermit's grand-dad and dad had occasionally run a cleaner dipped in alcohol through the shank and stem, and had deep cleaned the mortise...- pruss

Michael Parks Trouter Pipe - Pic Heavy
I was reading Nate's post about his meteorite impregnated space dog, and was reminded about this pipe which Michael made a few years back. The Trouter pipes are made to be able to be worn on a leather chord around the neck, so if the fisherman hooks into a big one he can drop the pipe without... -

Radice Buttons Breaking - Coincidence?
Man... that's interesting. I default to George as he's seen WAY more stems than I ever have. But that button looks suspect to me. The ovoid shape around the airway appears to be different material or at least different colour than the rest of the material which made up the stem/button. Very...
