My Pipe Collection
Wow and wow again. That is some dedication and a fine eye for detail put to good use. Do you smoke them all (barring the unsmoked of course)? -
Plunder from Chicago!
I managed not to buy a new pipe... But I still traded for some! The best was an unsmoked Rinaldo Blasted Hawkbill w/ a silver band. I had to trade my trusty Castello KK Sea Rock Lovat, but I've heard great things about Rinaldo pipes. I also set the ground work to obtain a morta poker. More on...- mattia76

Some perspective: 2005, "The Demise of the Pipe Show"
Great post, Adam. This is going to be my first Chicago Show, and I've actually got a table...to sell some pipes. But I'm more excited to meet people I've only corresponded with on the internet or through newsletters. Marty Pulvers, Peter Heeschen, Rad Davis; the list goes on and on. I've sold...- mattia76

McClelland Frog Morton
Good review. I like it quite a bit as well, but Across the Pond will always be my favorite Frog.- mattia76

Question about Polishing
Kennyjo, I've been cleaning up pipes and selling them for about a year now. I haven't yet purchased a buffing machine, but I've got my eye on one. For about 6 months, I would mix together a paste of Barkeepers Friend and water. When combined with a crap-ton of cotton towels and elbow grease...- mattia76

I finally have a 7-Day Set of Something!
The Bag is a Leather 7-Pipe Bag from Jobey of all places. It's several years old, but going strong. Thanks for the compliments, guys. What I noticed when I have them all together is that the set is actually pretty representative of my collection: I favor Danish pipes and sandblasts, but also... -
How many of your pipes are you excited to use regularly?
If they aren't great smokers (and weren't a gift or something) I don't keep them. I don't care how pretty they are, I just don't get to smoke often enough (I average maybe a bowl a day) to tolerate a dog in the bunch. I've sold off everything from Dunhills to Copenhagen Larsen's because of...- mattia76

I finally have a 7-Day Set of Something!
Hey Guys, With the recent addition of the Rad Davis on the very end, I finally got a 7-Day Set of Pokers. I would have had one long ago, but I kept passing them along to friends. I think these are all keepers though. I don't know what it is, but I've always been especially drawn to the... -
Favorite Comic Strip Of All Time?
Calvin and Hobbes. Bill Watterson retired at the height of his fame in 1995 because of the limitations of the genre and his refusal to compromise his ideals. Genius and integrity? Win.- mattia76

Middle-Earth Pipeweed Series by Just For Him
I just tried the Whiskey Biscuit Gravy in St. Louis and it was tremendous. A little more depth and variety than Shortcut to Mushrooms--it uses Shortcut as a base.- mattia76

Ordering Tobacco Has Changed
I didn't even know they tinned to acco until 10 years after I started smoking a pipe. Always the bulk blends for me. Now I've got about a 50/50 split between tins and bulk.- mattia76

St. Louis Gateway Pipe Show 2012
Hey guys, If you missed it, you really missed it. This was one of the best shows St. Louis ever had, which puts it at one of the top shows in the country. Over 100 tables (so many that mine was out in the lobby, by the bathroom) and a TON of people buying pipes and tobaccos. At 11 a.m...- mattia76

2012 PAD Charts...
Ditto on the Ardor. I may be alone, but I actually want a smaller bent one that hangs comfortably from the mouth.
