    Oldest Pipe You Smoke

    I have a KB&B Selkirk that was supposedly made around 1915. It gets smoked with regularity. I haven't been able to find the name in any KB&B catalogs yet.

    Women Repelled By Pipe Smokers?

    I sort of dread it when my neighbor sees me in the yard with my pipe. She'll run across the street and practically stick her nose in the bowl. I'm 61 and she's pushing 90. She's a very nice lady and has lived through a lot interesting history, including fleeing from the Nazis in the 1930s.

    Savinelli 320 Is It A Magic Pipe?

    I have a 320 KS Venere. It has never failed me and is on my top 10 list of my favorite pipes for all the reasons r gives. I'm used to smoking the more beefy English and Balkan blends and it handles those really well.

    Shiny Pipes on EBay. Good or bad?

    ashdigger, As for getting my phone number, she sent me a screen shot of the Ebay form she had to fill out to get access to my number. She checked the box indicating it was needed to help resolve a dispute. I declined the offer to talk to her on the phone because I wanted a written record of...

    Shiny Pipes on EBay. Good or bad?

    adam12 wrote: ....took my valid criticism of their poor restoration practices far too personally and ignited an eBay "message battle" with me that went beyond the purchase/refund into areas that had nothing to do with a business deal. That's pretty much what was going on with me too. I said that...

    Shiny Pipes on EBay. Good or bad?

    I just had an agonizing month long episode that tonight finally motivated me to cancel my ebay account. I suppose I should actually thank Shiny Pipes for that. My expectations are low. I win the item. I pay my money. I get the item. Not so much this time. The last message was a threat to open a...

    Well, they messed my order up!

    My biggest problem with Pipes and Cigars are the many and frequent backorders. I checked my order before sending today and everything looked okay. I checked a few minutes ago and now an item shows as being backordered. This is after waiting about four months for a tin of Squadron Leader to come...

    Revelation Concerning "Breathsmoking"

    Don't a lot of us do this without even thinking about it? Just my opinion, but I think it does sort concentrate the flavor by making the smoke just a bit thicker. Also, exhaling through the nose does help with the flavor aspect. I'm not sure if this technique contributes to moisture build by any...

    Are Savinelli pipes really that great?

    My 320 KS has never failed me. I get a perfect smoke from it every time. I also have a Clark's and a Bing's Favorite. Nothing wrong about those either, bu the 320 KS is just a perfect pipe in my humble estimation.

    That $#!t's Stupid

    It's not just bamboo, but has the metal (silver?) pick and fittings too. I don't spend a lot on accessories, so I probably wouldn't buy it either. (Even though it would go very nicely with my Ichirin pipe)

    Kirsten Pride... Show Me Your Kirstens!

    It took me a month to find one like this but I ordered this estate Kirsten from Smokingpipes.com today. This will be my second one and I'll be camping out at the mailbox until it gets here!

    New Pipe, Im Stoked

    I like my Whitehalls. Since I took this picture I also added a Saratoga similar to yours but a straight shape. All the Whitehalls I have were made in Italy. These are all meerschaum lined but the Saratoga is not.

    MasterCard Stealing Your Money

    I always thought it unfair that if you accidentally underpay your credit card bill by even a penny you get charged for interest on the entire balance. Credit cards are very convenient but they do have dangers as well.

    A Birdseye Comparison

    I don't know which is more expensive, but No 1 has the nicest looking grain to my eye.

    Damn Computer Reset!

    That's unfortunate. I hope you at least got the speed increase you were looking for. If you use Chrome and are logged into your Google account all your favorites are saved on the cloud so you have access to them no matter what happens to your computer. It's been a godsend for me in the past.
