    The Poker - A Shape That Gets No Respect

    I love threads like this. They just make me drool. I am more of a fan of the cherry woods, especially the radical ones.

    Meerschaum Questions

    Sorry I did not know you are in Europe. I think 4noggins ships to europe with no problems. I do not know the major Europeans vendors but I do know we have many members here that are in Europe that can provide you guidance on that. I think if you do some searching you will find an old thread here...

    Purdy PAD

    Wow. Very nice. I am not a fan of you straight pipe but it seems most bamboo stemmed pipes are straight. This is just another fine example. Between this and the many that fishbanjo has posted I may have to revisit my aversion to straight pipes.

    Meerschaum Questions

    1) From what I have gathered over reading all the drama in the past years there is a lot of uproar in Turkey over the meerschaum trade. There are many american vendors Online / B&M (many of our site sponsors) that you could by from with no issues. If you try to order directly from a vendor in...

    Fitting Stem Blanks

    Look at the pipe makers forum that kashmir linked above. You have to sign up for a membership before you can see the good stuff. But once you do it is amazing the info there. There are links to some great videos there showing how to make a stem without a tenon cutting tool. Mostly a lot of...

    Tom Hanks Portrayal of Walt Disney Lacks Authenticity

    Apparently to prevent the movie from getting an "R" rating, and the fact that smoking is not an currently held Disney Co. value, it was necessary to be historically inaccurate for Tom Hanks to not smoke is his upcoming movie where he portrays Walt Disney. This is disturbing to me on a deep...

    Sunset Rum

    I would suugest working on smoking technique before disregarding a genre on tobacco. If you want another suggestion I would say try either Solani Sweet Mystery or Peterson Connoisseur's Choice. I am primarily an aromatic smoker and those two are by far my favorite. Below them are Peterson Sweet...

    Questions Regarding Softy Bits and Sour Taste

    The softy bits I put on the pipe once it goes into my rotation. I say this because a pipe either new or estate gets cleaned before I smoke it. Just some more cleaning then others. I don't usually take it off unless I am going to clean the pipe thoroughly or it needs to be replaced. I often bite...

    Email Miseries

    It happens to me for many reasons. Sometimes it is my service (Comast sucks). Other times, I think the always on modem / gateway is just taking a breather. For me the first task is to restart the modem and this seems to work most of the times. I think the heat buildup will get to anything over...

    New Gabrieli Pipe Site

    You need to add him to the list of carvers people have had experience with. I think bigvan started it. It is a sticky somewhere.

    Discontinued - Another One -Villager Mid Day

    There was a thread the other day regarding this very topic. IIRC, I think Russ himself said the whole line was going away in tins but was it was possible that the more popular ones were going to stay around in bulk. I myself have 13 tins socked away and will have to try to get more before they...

    Sunset Rum

    imagenthat...I think it would be pretty safe to say the one you bought was an Altadis bulk. In my experience, most of the aromatics carried in B&Ms are Altadis. And, unless Milan confirms different, I would suspect the blends you are referring to are one in the same. Many tobacco shops will try...

    Jim is a great guy. He has sent me some sample of a couple of Frog Morton blends. He is a great guy and I am greatful for having met him.

    JT Cooke Big Ass LB Billiard

    As usual very nice. To me looks like a haloweenesk pipe. On a serious note, I have jaw issues and like to clench. Do you find the steep taper on his stems difficult to deal with compared to other brands?

    Gigante - Italy. Can Anyone Tell Me Company History?

    Looks very Savinelli esque. Though it is missing the tell tale shape number. If its not a Sav I would hazard a guess that it was probably made by them for someone. But that is just my guess.
