    Vintage Marxman Pipe

    Sure looks like you can take the stinger out of that one for cleaning purposes. If you get enough pipes with stingers in your collection I recommend you buy a dental pick. It works great for getting detritus out of the stinger as well as the button end of the stem. Most of the old estate...

    Old Tom Howard Pipe

    Thanks, Teddy and scottgaran, I preside over the "Land of Misfit Pipes" to paraphrase that old Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer cartoon. I've got my second "The Doodler" pipe coming in and I see another Tom Howard on ebay I wouldn't mind having. tbradsim1, your Tom Howard is massively impressive...

    Two New Pipes

    I just gave the Peterson a try and it performed well. I smoked the same thing in it, Larry's blend, and it burned evenly all the way to the bottom of the bowl. Perfect. As I said, it is a bit heavier so I spent more time holding it than clenching. Feels good. Fnord, I don't see any sort of...

    Two New Pipes

    Things have been crazy busy at work recently and I haven't been able to use any of my paid leave. It's either use it or stop accruing more after 480 hours, so I decided to cash in 80 hours and buy myself a little something(s). Here's a Peterson Christmas 2014. I saw another forum member get one...

    Purple and Preferred. By...Whom?

    Some of us must remain here among the unwashed and shirtless while others ascend to the rarified high heavens of pipe forum posting. Someday I also hope to don my silk monogramed maroon smoking jacket and join the elite in the Lane 1Q perfumed halls of pipe Valhalla!

    Help with ID

    It's a Medico silver overlay pipe. Does that price tag really say $195.00? I've seen them go from $25-$60.00 on ebay. Here, you can get in on this one: Medico Aztec Silver Overlay There are others for auction that are in better shape. The one in your antique store looks to be in pretty good...

    Just a Little Creepy

    I saw this pipe rack on ebay. It's one thing to buy pipes from the estates of deceased pipe smokers, but this is a little strange, eh? I wonder if he had family and why they wouldn't want this as a keepsake? May God rest his soul, whoever he is!

    Took a Risk on a Vague Ebay Listing......It's a Barling...

    That's how it's done! Congrats!

    Doctor Grabow Freehand

    My personal experiance is that $40.00 is too much. The one new DG Feehand I have had the varnish blister and flake off after ten or twenty uses. I've since refinshed it and sometimes pick it up now and then. I have a second older estate one (curiously equipped with a suitable Kaywoodie stem)...

    Can someone help me out here?

    The study doesn't say it outright, but of course it's centered around cigarettes...as usual. The common wisdom is that whoever smokes, smokes cigarettes. The study is flawed from the outset tarnished by bias at inception.

    Disaster! Condor Factory Closes in Ireland!

    Yes, it's a business decision but it was put into motion by government regulation, which is how government everywhere works when it's been unsuccessful using other more direct means. This is how carbon dioxide became a dangerous pollutant, not because it is, but because of the power it gives a...

    Stinger or not to stinger that is the question

    I'm a stinger fan. I occasionally have to use alcohol and a dental pick to keep them clean but that's just part of pipe maintenance. They are also useful in fixing a date to a pipe sometimes by identifying the shape. Since collecting is half the fun for me I leave the stingers in. I have had no...

    Had $18,000 For A Car...Bought A Pipe Instead

    Heck, just because I appreciate the company of pipe smokers here, I'm willing to let my lovely lacquered limited edition Mt Fuji pipe go for just $17,999.00. Payment only accepted in gold bullion.
