    What's Your Favorite Brand(s)?

    Interesting Pipe My Dad Had

    Wow thanks for all the info! More than I could have hoped for on it honestly. Dad seems pretty happy about it as well. He said it was just some treasure he kept all this time not knowing it was anything special. And it may not be worth much but sometimes any knowledge alone gives a thing a...

    Interesting Pipe My Dad Had

    I dunno if I have the skills though I'm sure with practice it could become a thing. Maybe I'll get some blanks and try out some inlays and wire/emblem work like this and see what comes of it.

    Interesting Pipe My Dad Had

    Kinda wish I could have been there when he got it. But yeah probably right on the afterwork. Would be neat to see after work or something like this done by pipe makers in the future. I'd buy one.

    Yeah he was talking about it a while back. Always had such neat treasures.

    Interesting Pipe My Dad Had

    That's what I was thinking, a generic but someone added the work to it later or the original owner had it commissioned or customized. I'll get it cleaned up and try it out soon enough. But yeah, haven't seen anything else quite like it anywhere.

    Interesting Pipe My Dad Had

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Not sure if this is just a generic or something. My dad got it from an old guy from Greece in the 80’s. I haven’t seen anything like it before. It only says “real briar” on one side and no other markings I can see.

    Hello Pipers...It’s Been Awhile

    I probably jumped back on the bandwagon a little late in the game but I'll be stocking up my cellar as best I can. Keeping an eye on these legislations and the like. A lot of local shops in my area in Colorado have severely cut back on anything other than cigarettes and cigars. Kinda sad to see...

    First Batch

    Seems nice so far, not a fan of super huge bowls so it'll work out nicely for me.

    First Batch

    The tobacco finally showed up , I’m finally ready! Looking forward to trying all these out. Wasn't sure if this was the proper spot for this post as it may lead both into pipe and tobacco discussion so I figured this was my best bet. Plum Pudding regular, aged bourbon and special reserve...

    Illusions of Age

    About the same, soon as I could start working at 14 during the summers, I did. I moved out as soon as I was able. Learned a lot real fast. My grandpa on my dads side always said it was like talking to someone his age when we spoke. Said to keep the things that make me happy cause that's what...

    To Rest or Not to Rest

    I bought three for my first set up to rotate out as needed. I don't plan on smoking all that much but they were on sale so I figured why not.

    About the same for me. I have to remind myself to calm down even though there's so many to try out there...

    Smokingpipes Stopped Shipping To Washington

    Wow, I was considering moving there too... may need to rethink my options or set up a PO box in Oregon somewhere to pick up large orders from. It'd be a 6 hour round trip from Seattle to Portland though, yeesh...

    ***What Are You Smoking, January 2021?***

    Dedicating this one to English blends, Plum Pudding is delicious so far.

    Feels Good, Just Got My Pipes and Tobacco Organized.

    That's a lovely set up there. Hope to have one of my own soon in the next year or so. Planning a move first before getting anything else heavy.
