    A fresh look at bryoln....

    I've got couple of Medico Brylon pipes that came in a couple lots of estates from ebay. They are ok pipes. No break in required and easy to clean are the two advantages I can list. The two negatives are the increased weight and tendency to smoke hot if you aren't careful. From the standpoint of...

    Can anyone tell me anything about my estate pipe?

    Niagra Falls! My three year old used to repeat this routine. "tep by tep"! He was very cute doing it :-)

    Tobacco World in Spokane

    I was in Spokane, WA for my niece's wedding this weekend. It was being held at a place called "The Flour Mill" which consisted of a large space in the lower level suitable for weddings and receptions. The floors above contained boutique stores and restaurants. As soon as I came in the front...

    The "Art"of ebay Pipe Restoration

    Can't make out the hallmark... BTW, the pipe didn't sell. Shocker. I did win a jet shaped "Torpedo" pipe from the same seller. Should be interesting.

    WDC Estate Fraternity Pipe - Phi Kappa Alpha

    jguss, thank you very much for that information. My Seville looks like it was hardly used at all. Hard to believe it could be as old as that! I'll enjoy it even more now. Mike

    My Vasectomy... Chapter 2

    I have to say, my wife had a tubal ligation after our second born and she suffered nothing like you did! We had talked about the vasectomy route but I had friends who had complications and failures. In fact, just the other day a friend of mine was telling me about his congestive epididymitis...

    What is your single most favorite pipe?

    Sparrowhawk, that's an interesting choice of a pipe there because my Irish Harp is also in my top 10 list of favorite pipes. If I had to give them all up for one it would be a tough decision, because I like my jumbo Wellingtons a lot. The Peterson I can take with me just about anywhere,so maybe...

    Need help convincing the wife of PAD

    In the past year my wife has taken weekly private guitar, mandolin and fiddle lessons at the average rate of $40.00 and hour. I NEVER get complaints about my PAD and TAD expenditures. She has her budget and I have mine. We've been married 38 years, so the mutual understanding seems to work :D

    Owl Pipe Shop

    Even when adjusted for inflation, some of those pipes are quite a deal. I notice Connecticut sales tax has doubled since then. Those old catalogs are like time machines. Love 'em!

    Pipes and Cigars Problems

    I personally don't have a problem with that method of handling back orders but I can see how some might, especially if the item was shown as being available when you put it in your basket. That would irritate me as well. Ordering pipes and tobacco is seldom a life or death matter for me, though...

    Just watch, he'll be posting here shortly wanting to know why his Peterson is gurgling.

    WDC Estate Fraternity Pipe - Phi Kappa Alpha

    Torque, do you have any information on the "Seville" line of WDC pipes? I won a nice bulldog pipe on ebay with that name stamped on it. It has a nice triangular shank and stem. I'll clean it up and post pictures this weekend.

    $10,900 and Shipping is Free

    My grandfather used to love to go hunting up there back in the late 50s. Probably much has changed now that it's the home of the $11,000 pipe.

    Pipe ads in old magazines

    Oddly, while taking up xrundog's challenge to find pipe advertising from the 20s I found an article in Advertising & Selling, Volume 30, Issues 1-27 from June 1920 talking about the same issue. The author writes about how there is a lot of tobacco advertising, implying that men go to great...

    no taste lower 1/2 of bowl

    I've had some tobaccos get better during the second half and some get worse. I've never had one not have any taste. Getting the tobacco ember too hot can make it tasteless. I think there is a "sweet spot" here you might be overstepping. If you take a mouthful of smoke, gently exhale a bit then...

    First, carefully top the charred rim of the bowl. Repair the cracked shank with a stylish bit of twisted wire. Viola! Your "repaired" pipe is now ready for sale to the highest bidder! (Starting bid is $9.95)

    Ebay: What Are the Buyer's Chances?

    Over 200 pipe related purchases here. I mostly buy pipes for restoration practice as a hobby. My ebay approach is "easy come, easy go". There was one instance where the seller accidentally sent the wrong item which caused a week's delay. One other time I received a pipe broken in six pieces due...
