    More Pipes

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with having more pipes than you can smoke! It's all part of the same PAD syndrome.

    Ropp

    metarzan, if I were you I'd pull the trigger on the "Big Jean"! Looks like a pretty good deal to me.

    Rough Week

    I'm sorry to read of this. I imagine you are ready for some good news at this point. I hope some comes soon. To those of you younger members with still living grandparents, take some time and interview them thoroughly about their lives and family history. I regret not doing this before mine passed.

    Ropp

    According to my ebay purchase history, I got it in January of this year. It was at the top of my PAD budget coming in at $19.27 Looking into the bowl I see there is no cake in there at all. Time to get started on that.

    Medico pipes - Brylon or Briar?

    Yep, I came out in defense of my one Brylon pipe and I still stand by that review after smoking it several times since. I didn't taste any plastic fumes and it certainly didn't melt in my hand! Still, if you have a choice between Brylon and reasonably good briar pipe at an affordable price you...

    New Guy

    Hello Fred, and newbroom and be welcomed. For many, many years I only smoked aromatics which I ordered from the Takoma, Washington Tinder Box store. Just a couple of years ago on a whim I ordered a blend called "Sherlock's Choice" and was accidentally introduced to the world of English blends...

    Ropp

    I remembered once getting a non-cherrywood Ropp so I went digging through my collection for it. Here it is with its nice silver band. I haven't even smoked this one yet.

    What Is Your Pain Threshold For A Pipe?

    For an estate pipe my limit is twenty bucks including shipping. For a new pipe I begin to choke at $150.00. I suppose that makes me a less than professional pipe smoker. I've resigned myself to be classified as a pipe hobbyist. It's like being a pianist. At my level of playing I don't need a...

    Nothing fancy but definitely on the large side.

    Ropp

    I love my Ropp cherry wood. Feels good and smokes well. I use it exclusively for aromatics. Don't know why. It's just one of the two pipes I use for those.

    Packaging from Ebay Sellers

    The best pipe packing I've seen from ebay was a seller who used two pieces of egg carton with the pipe sandwiched in between. The pipe had a few layers of newspaper wrapped around it as well. That entire assembly was then put in a small cardboard box. Most pipes seem to come wrapped in bubble...

    Seduced by Molto Dolce

    I've gone through several tins of Molto Dolce and enjoy it. Recently, though, I've taken a liking to "County Cork" which is an Irish Cream and whisky blend. I spent a week away on vacation smoking only that in the same pipe so it's pretty much become seasoned with that blend. It's been very...

    AAAARRRGGHHH!!! Inexperienced Ebay Sellers

    Frightening and cautionary tales here. There is a lighter side. I saw a "Tender Box" pipe listed the other day that made me chuckle.

    Clay Question

    Condorlover1, Thanks for the info. I picked it up on ebay for $4.99 . Single bidder...as usual. Here is the listing: Ben Nevis

    Vegetarians

    Entirely correct! Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever had any cheap scotch. This may be a new area for me to survey.

    Which "cheap" pipe in your collection smokes best?

    @rigmedic1, I like the look of that Viscount. If one ever turns on ebay I'll snap it up! Interestingly, (to me, at least) adjusted for inflation, $9.95 is around $36.00 in today's money. That's just about what a Dr Grabow would go for these days though it seems to me the quality of the briar was...

    Clay Question

    Does anyone know if Ben Nevis Cuttys are still being made in Ireland? I've come into owning one, and while it doesn't appear to be all that old, I'd still like to know a little more about it. Seems to be a stout little pipe compared to some of the newer more fragile clays I've bought in the past.

    Vegetarians

    @simnettpratt, I believe I understand. Then to think in some countries they eat those critters while still crawling around on a plate or gasping for air while diced into pieces. And I'm sure cockroaches are a staple in some parts of the world. When I was the USAF back in the late 70's I was...

    Vegetarians

    I could be a vegetarian if it didn't take so much discipline. One has to be driven in order to overcome the prevalence of animal protein in our national diet, especially when you have other people living with you who are not so inclined. My hat is off to those who can pull it off without their...
