G. Huybrecht Pipes as Smokers?
Let me know how it goes. I corrected my mistake earlier today by ordering that unsmoked LC above. If I have an angle in collecting, other than just smoking what God throws in my lap, it's Olde English pipes. But occasionally I like new pipes too. So my idea to justify the occasional foray...- mattia76

Loewe Straight Grain Bulldog
This just in. My first Loewe Straight Grain! I've been collecting Loewe pipes for a couple of years, but this is the first Straight Grain stamped one I've seen in the flesh. According to Cake and Dottle, these didn't appear until the 1950s. I think he's right, as the Loewe Packet information...- mattia76

G. Huybrecht Pipes as Smokers?
Hunter, I don't know what I was smoking when I put that Canadian up for sale! It always performed exceedingly well for me, and that rustication is rare. Not a lot of people know the London Castle name. I own a Huybrecht lovat, and am looking at getting another, now that economic times are...- mattia76

St. Louis pipe and tobacconist?
Tough Question. We are definitely under-served for our population in St. Louis when it comes to pipes. Of those listed above, you'll find the best tin and pipe selection at Jon's Pipe Shop in Clayton. They are full-on retail, so be prepared for that when you compare their prices to what you...- mattia76

Bruyere St. Claude Pipes
I can't say enough good things about mine. A little 5" Extra Billiard with an Off-white horn stem. No worries about the draw here. WIDE open. I smoked some Anniversary Kake last night for the maiden voyage and it was as sweet and delicious from the first puff. The only pipe I've ever had... -
NOS ST Claude Bruyere SPC
I picked up an Extra grade Billiard with an off-white horn stem this week, and it smokes like an absolute dream. WIDE open draw. No fills, and LOTS of Birdseye (although from looking at pics of other Extras, that's no guarantee). Reminds me of Talbert's Ligne Bretagne line with the ooooooold... -
Peterson "Premier Selection" 9BC
Oh wow. I have examined the inside of the tenon. At first glance I thought it was just a nice, wide tenon. But I just saw the threading on the inside. In any case, no bone or wooden chimney stinger came with it, but must have originally been a part of it. The shape number is X155. The Grain on...- mattia76

Peterson "Premier Selection" 9BC
I just joined the Pre Republic Peterson Premiere Club as well. This one is bigger than a lot I've seen. A Group 5 or a large 4, and just a classy Pete. forum image hosting- mattia76

Review: MacBaren HH Latakia Flake
By far the best MacBaren blend I've ever enjoyed. Has a full flavor, and yet a natural sweetness that lasts all the way through he bowl.- mattia76

St Louis Pipe Show 2015
Gentlemen, the demise of the STL show is Greatly Exaggerated! I have attended the last 2 meetings of the StL Pipe Club and it IS going to continue next year at the same time, but in a different location. More details will be available at the show! Boys, the Saint Louis Show is TRULY one of the...- mattia76

Why Don't You Still Have That Great Pipe?
I found an Unsmoked Savinelli 320 KS Punto Oro S (which I guess stood for Straight Grain) on eBay in 2010 that was my ultimate pipe. Beautiful, light, Virgin stain. No flaws. I had the bowl coating removed and broke it in using nothing buy Anniversary Kake and Trout Stream. It smelled like... -
What I have learned so far.
You can't go wrong with Trout Stream. Still one of my favorites because it actually tastes like it smells (unlike the 1Q). Next you should try Anniversary Kake and see what that does for you. For me it was a revelation.- mattia76

Have You Ever Been Laughed At For Smoking A Pipe?
Once in 2000 in a dance club in Tampa. Some frat dude said, "Look out, Pipe Guy" after he ran into me on the dance floor while I was smoking. Of course, several ladies wanted to take a puff as well. That happens more often.- mattia76
