    Savinelli Cricket leather covered pipe

    My Kiko smokes great and feels great. This pipe gets a lot of use! Sometimes I use a dab of leather conditioner.

    What Did Mark Twain Put In His Pipe?

    Taken from here In 1890, famed British poet and writer, Rudyard Kipling, visited Missouri's Mark Twain at his Elmira, N.Y. summer domicile. Kipling complemented the Hannibal native on his epicurean tastes and continental style, but chided Twain for putting fine, Turkish tobacco into a lowly...

    I just saw the ballsiest thing I've ever seen in my life.

    Just downloaded the first season, made it to episode three I think it was. The Inuit are hunting whales just off the ice shelf in homeade kayaks and one has a corncob and the other has a briar in his mouth. Really cool series, I'll be watching all week. :puffy:

    Mario Grandi pipe partisans. Let's see them!

    Thanks marmal4de, I wanted a pipe with a yellow stem and it was the one that striked me. I've decided to save it for this summers vacation. Would be nice to light it up for the fist time walking along a beach.

    Mario Grandi pipe partisans. Let's see them!

    Sits in my bottom drawer unsmoked.. to be perfectly honest. Loved the way it looked but was sadly suprised by the overly massive chamber. I'd waste way too much tobacco in that mamba jamba. Not sure what to do with it. It'll sit there until I get into it one day or trade for a pipe I'd get some...

    Misleading ebay

    pipeville, your confused because the seller changed the words in the add to make sense now.. Easy to get lost in translation. :))

    Misleading ebay

    I needed to post this because in all due fairness it seems to have been based upon confusing english combined with the pictures he has posted. Like Bubba, I was concerned that some innocent person was going to be swindled.. Looks like that is not the case. ( I would not rule out the possibility...

    Misleading ebay

    I sent a mail back to him. I was calm and polite, (though not on the inside..) I realise he is a much respected pipe maker and his pipes fetch sickly high prices etc. Maybe it was just bad English, for the benifit of the doubt. But, I took it as arrogance at the highest caliber. I mean, I can...

    Misleading ebay

    Ok, I saw something on ebay that I thought was misleadig or confusing for a potential pipe buyer. Out of curiosity alone, I contacted the seller, which it seems is the actual pipe maker. He sent me a message back stating it is for "images" of him making a pipe. Tell you what, I would not smoke...

    Briar Curing?

    I also feel much more educated on the subject. I also read the article there about Ashton pipes, damn what a great read that was, from start to finish. I now know why Ashton pipes command such a hefty price. Thanks!

    The Myth of Brand and Maker in Pipesmoking

    Very nice read, thanks! my analogy: My cheap Casio watch keeps just as good of time as a New Rolex. But, I sure as hell would'nt mind owning a Rolex either..

    Latakia on fire

    I was just wondering, with all the sht going down over there, could there be a disruption of latakia being shipped out, rising latakia prices, or is it that the companies that buy latakia already have such a large quantity stockpiled that it has no effect on the latakia market?

    Received some promising replies from their head of marketing, especialy regarding tins, :-) but even on their lables.. Thanks for your replies. Now to prepare a power point presentation. :wink:
