    Aging Aromatics...Yay or Nay?

    I am primarily an aromatic smoker and I have found that it depends on the quality of the actual tobacco. Many aromatics do not contain high quality tobacco and are so encased with PG that aging will do nothing (i.e. Captain Black, Palidan Black Cherry). However, I do feel if you buy premium...

    S&G Fire dance flake vs. WO LArsen edition 2013 - Nicotine kick

    It also may be your body's condition at the moment. I have had 1Q almost knock me out of a chair, but it was because I was severely hungry waiting for diner and probably a bit dehydrated. Since I have always made sure I didn't have a completely empty stomach and usualy have a drink while I am...

    Favorite Factory Pipes?

    1. Chacom (Their higher end American lines or any Europen lines. Seems, from a lot of feedback here, most of their entry level stuff in North America is just junk, but all I have I have gotten as Estates From European Lines or New Higher End American Lines and they are wonderful. Got a 2013 Pipe...

    Photographing Pipes

    This is a great thread. My only possible suggestion would be to talk to Walt Cannoy. He has some amazing pipe photography on his site and even offers some downloads to use for computer desktops. He may be able to give you some pipe specific pointers.

    My Displays... Pic Heavy

    Wow. That is pretty cool. I would like to second the going to a pipe show and displaying that collection. I have seen many pictures of collections of one brand or another, but nothing I have seen come close in the nostalgia department. I also think you would find a lot of help filling the empty...

    PAD - Ardor Urano Fantasy Paneled Bent Dublin

    Thanks guys. Can anyone tell me what exactly "Fantasy" means? All I can surmise is it means the pipe has a colorful stem and possibly shank / bowl application. Can anyone confirm this for me?

    My Old Meerschaum - Scraping Inside Bowl

    If it has been smoked more then a handfull of times I doubt you would ever get back to white. I do not think your lack of flavor is a symptom of the pipe but more rather your technique in combination with that particulr pipe. The meerschaum does not absorb cake, but rather tars and oils...

    Mastercraft Fisherman Stummel - What Does the Stem Look Like??

    If you want a new stem made, just send it of to any of the pipe repair vendors listed in numerous other threads. It is not necessary to have a pic of one unless you are trying to produce an exact replica. I would say at this point it is more a matter of functionnality and form then authenticity...

The best deals are always quickly snagged before I can usually get to the. I can't believe I got this one. Under $200. I have been wanting any Ardor that struck my fancy...

    Pipe w/ Metal Covered Rim

    For a while now I have been seeing seom really high end pipes with a metal cap on the rim. While I think these are very nice looking. I question the practicality of them. For those of you who have one 1) Does the rim tend to darken the same as without? 2) How much extra care is it? If any...

    I Guess is Time to Replace the Stem (Savinelli Nopareil 9006)

    castillo I can not see your pics. Hopefully someone else can. As for replacing a Savinelli stem, I do not think there is anyone who can replicate the stamping / nomenclature of Savinelli stems. There are many people who can make you a new stem for a few bucks. If I can see your pics hopefully I...

    Thanks for posting, this is pretty cool. I know it is legit, and maybe it is the photography of the time, but does anyone think the people seem a bit cartonny. o and did you see the legs on one of them dames? 8)

    Chacom Pipes What do You Think ?

    Check this thread out. It shows some of the history of the brand. I is a very old brand. I think it is a very under valued on the estate market, which is good for me. I have also posted pictures of the 5 I have. The POY is my MB Vanilla Flake pipe. It is the only dedicated pipe I have...
