Show Off Your Dr. Grabow Pipes Here!
I'm liking my Grabows so much I'm always looking for more on ebay. Here's a Belvedere I picked up for just a few bucks. Boy, was this pipe a mess, completely clogged and wouldn't pass a pipe cleaner. Using much Everclear, pipe cleaners and a dental pick I finally cleared the airway. There's...- tuold

Etiquette Question re Purchase
Truenorth, he's 90 years old. You better not wait too long. Seriously, the fact that this was a concern to you shows you have good character. You will feel good after you resolve this for yourself and you will have also made someone else happy. Everyone wins. The world is a better place.- tuold

Precious Metals and Gem Stones on Pipes
Well, there ya go. From his standpoint If he sells one pipe he's done for a year. He will have to work far too hard to make 76 pipes a year! -

Christmas question.
If you do an image search on Google for "santa pipe" you really do get quite a variety. Every shape from those long stemmed colonial clay pipes to tiny little pots. Personally, I'd like to see Santa show up with some sort of Nording freehand. A churchwarden might be a good pipe for him to smoke...- tuold

Precious Metals and Gem Stones on Pipes
I've got a pipe made in Japan during the occupation that is adorned with mother of pearl. I would never smoke it. It's just part of the collection and collecting is a viable "use" for a tobacco pipe, at least in my mind. I do like gold and silver bands on pipes. I can see the judicious use of... -

My First "Real" Kaywoodie!
That is a handsome pipe! I saw your Minaret on an earlier post and it's a fine looking pipe too. Hard to believe at one point Kaywoodie was putting out 10,000 pipes a day! -

Recent Buys on Ebay
In my never ending search for cheap but interesting briar I bought these old relics of Americana. First is a Medico Guardsman which actually just arrived today. I believe it's from the late 50's or early 60's. It is made of briar, (not Brylon) has a ceramic sort of insert in the bowl and comes... -
Christening a New Pipe?
I recently kept my new Peterson Harp in front of me on my desk for week before I lit it up for the first time just enjoying the beauty of it. I wasn't really expecting to have my socks blown off on the first smoke. After six or seven bowls of "Old San Francisco" it's starting to come around. So...- tuold

Stephen Downie
Looking at the picture of Lexington I am reminded of my former cat companion, Quincy. He would also sit on a stool while I worked. He would just there all the time watching. I sort of feel we were sharing the same thoughts on a piece of music I was writing. He's long gone now, but I swear I see...- tuold

Military Vets Smoking
Well you may know the military during WWII handed out cigarettes to the troops to help deal with the stress of combat. It was even included in rations. While being effective, it probably did create a lot of nicotine addicts! I never saw combat in my nearly six years of service during the...- tuold

Washington Post Editorial 8-3-14
Tobacco was once a pleasure of the masses enjoyed by rich and poor. Now, like every other activity that brings temporary relief or distraction from our every day cares, it is becoming exclusive to the rich who can pay the taxes. (Or who can pay without an undue strain on their budget). And it's...- tuold

Grandpa's Pipe
To me, this is what pipe collecting all about. I have my grandfather's pipes (my siblings thought they were yucky) and his last canister of Prince Albert still 3/4 full. He was a pipe fitter and worked in the oil fields of Bakersfield, California. He was a hard-working man and smoked working...- tuold

Trauma at Dubai customs
I've also got a sample of Gaslight coming in this week from Smokingpipes.com. I'll be thinking of your friend's experience when I open it! Shades of "Midnight Express"! Pipe smoking can be risky. During tech training in the military I had a pipe confiscated during room inspection for being...- tuold
