    Fodder for the anti-artisan crowd

    I saw that pipe in an email ad this morning and thought that for that price everything ought to be perfect.This one is not perfect. If a pipe carver wants to establish a name for himself in that price bracket a pipe like that probably should not have left the shop.

    Kirsten Pride... Show Me Your Kirstens!

    I found a Kirsten Mariner at my local antique shop last weekend. I almost didn't buy it because it looked like somewhat of a chore to take apart and clean. That it was! Luckily I found plenty of help on this site and at reborn pipes. This one will be on display next to my Vikings and my Aero...

    Cult Blood Red Moon!

    I bought a tin of Cult Blood Red Moon based on rave reviews like this. Yes, it really is a load of sweet cherry flavor. The only thing I was missing in it was any sort of tobacco flavor which is something kind of important to me when smoking a pipe. If you are partial to aromatics, as many are...

    Father's Day Thread - Add Your Photos

    My dad at his wedding in 1952. He'd just returned from the Korean War after being reported KIA to his family. Lucky for me he survived his wounds and made it home! Thanks for hanging in there, Dad.

    Robotic Spine Surgery

    I'm also fascinated with the application of robotics in surgery. Before I retired I watched several procedures done with the da Vinchi surgical robot. There are videos on youtube demonstrating this technology. Mazor Robotics

    Please Recommend A Mower, Not Briggs & Strat.

    I believe Honda lawnmowers are made in the US, at least the ones sold here. I could be wrong.

    Enamel for Faded Stem Insignia

    I've used the same trick when restoring missing logos. I learned it from my experiance in building model airplanes.

    Antique solid Ivory pipe

    I don't think I've ever seen an ivory pipe. Is the bowl lined with anything?

    Words and Phrases You’ve Come to Hate

    "Shut up!" when it's used as an expression of disbelief. It stops me in my tracks every time somebody uses that on me. If they are really telling me to shut up, I guess that's ok.

    Color In Pipes, Blue and Green in Particular

    Yes, you've got the The Pipe out there in a variety of colors. There is also the Dr Grabow line of Color Dukes and Viscounts. I'm not a fan of pipes that draw attention to themselves and stand out, at least not by flashy colors. It's just a personal preference. Peterson has done some nice pipes...

    It's 3:30am & I Disapprove

    There is no psychoneuro-anesthetic more effective than television. Many times I've gotten out of bed, unable to sleep, turned on the TV and will be out like a light in five minutes.

    Show Us Your Sitters!

    I like my Peterson Aran 306. Never had a bad smoke with that one. I don't have a Nording yet. It's on my list.

    Score! What a great find.

    This Is Madness

    It is kind of strange that the law stipulates that anywhere a tobacco company puts their logo they also have to include the warning. That's why the "Marlboro Limited" sweepstakes train didn't have the Marlboro logo on it. They were afraid nobody would want to ride the "cancer train".

    davet, I think you would like the bent Viking. It's my favorite. Ted over at the Dr Grabow forums wrote that the Juniors were only made for a year or so before being discontinued due to poor sales.
