    New Two Cousins 12-Pipes Rack

    Beautiful and practical. Of course you needed it! Since my wife refuses to set foot in my smoking cave I can keep just about any off budget items in there without detection.

    My Wife Said To Me. "Only You Honey"

    His name was actually Chucky? Now that is scary! Seriously, that kid has some sort of problem beyond anything his mother can help.

    What is this dark english pipe made of?

    Looks like it could use a good cleaning.

    The Dunhill-like Pipes Of Roland From Japan

    Fascinating topic. If you can't stand on the shoulders of a giant you an at least step on their toes! I spent five years living in Japan back in the late 70s and never once saw anyone smoking a pipe. When I brought mine out it was always an object of curiosity. Things have changed a lot there...

    Falcon Vs. Dr. Grabow?

    I find the Viking pipes easier to clench and to clean. Bowls are easy to find on ebay though the only new ones I've seen being sold were made in Mexico. If you find any Koolsmoke bowls (another brand of metal pipe) they are also interchangeable with Viking pipes. Why not have a Viking and a...

    This Price Is a Typo, Right?

    After looking over the seller's ratings, I'd steer clear of that one even in fair weather. Pretty flaky. Ran across this listing not long ago. Not quite as outrageous, but still....

    Falcon. A Training Pipe.

    I like this one I saw on Hobo Pipes blog page:

    Would You Bid Against A Forum Member?

    My estate budget is similar to yours. If you know someone on the board who collects similar pipes as you there's nothing wrong with sending them a PM and letting them your intentions and coordinating your bids.

    Show Off Your Dr. Grabow Pipes Here!

    This just came in. I think it's a Continental No 22....maybe in a Starfire configuration? It's only stamped "Dr Grabow" on the bottom. It's a little beaten up but I think I make it presentable.

    Tsuge Pipe ..Good ??

    Savinelli Sherwood Rock Briar... What, When, Why?

    I'd buy that pipe in a flash! Did they stop making them? Savinelli has the "Hercules" line and the 320 EX shape is available.

    Are There Pipe Blends Topped With Eggplant or Sun Dried Tomato?

    Hearth and Home has bacon and maple syrup flavor in their Vermont Meat Candy blend. It's not one of my favorites, but nice for change up every now and then. Seems to be more maple syrup than bacon to me.

    Poker pipe recommendation

    I like my Stanwell poker Brushed black (207) very much and recommend it without reservation. It's comfortable to clench and performs very nicely. Economical, too. Problem is I don't see any in stock at any the usual retailers. Like mso says, the Savinellis are a very good bet as well.

    Stop Eating Bagels.....They Cause Lung Cancer.

    There was a study some time ago saying high school students who ate breakfast were less likely to be tardy and had better grades. The schools started offering breakfast to students but there was no benefit detected. It turned out that students who ate breakfast every morning had parents at home...

    Stop Eating Bagels.....They Cause Lung Cancer.

    Another correlation = causation study. This is what universities do with their computers (and government grants) these days. Thanks macaroon, for putting it in perspective.

    Elizabethan Mixture Not Good? Is It Just Me?

    I've been smoking pipes for over forty years, so you would think I would have found the holy grail of tobaccos by now. Nope. I just recently tried VaPers for the first time and found just what Cosmic says about enjoying them to be true. They are best enjoyed in small doses. For some, discovery...

    Show Off Your Dr. Grabow Pipes Here!

    I also added a Grand Duke and yet another Viking to my collection. These came out of a lot of nine pipes from ebay. More to come. The Grand Duke has an Ajustomatic stem but accommodates a 6mm filter.

    Don't Have a Cork Knocker? No Worries!

    Those little cork knockers are three bucks each so this looks like a bargain replacement. Mine usually end up catching on fire and being reduced to a charred, black nub. I would think the egg carton might also burn.

    Show Off Your LHS Pipes Here

    dave g, I did a cursory cleaning just so as not to gross anybody out. After looking more closely, the stamp actually says, "London Made" over the LHS diamond. It's worn and difficult to see, especially through my very poor photography. It has a push stem with no evidence of a stinger. So, not...
