    Trusted Pipe Repairmen?

    Just curious: Does anyone know if Ric Farrah sold Briarville to someone else? Briarville is now in NM.

    Barling's Make Quiant Pipe

    I have one of these that needs to be cleaned up. Not sure whether to smoke it, trade it, or sell it. In all my hunting it was a great find last year.

    Unmarked CAOs?

    Gatorlope this is the exact scenario for my CAO.

    Wind in the Willows Is for Pipers

    Loving this thread. WITW is a dear old book.

    Was just looking for St James Flake.

    Sam Martin pipes

    Update: I love this pipe. The spot remains but after 30+ smokes it hasn’t extended into the chamber. I feel blessed to have found this handmade gem. I wish I could describe the feel of it in my hand- all I can say is that it feels like a high end work of art, crafted with love. Seriously, it’s...

    Samuel Gawith

    Ugh... so bummed I missed this. I’ve been checking multiple sites each day. Almost ready to just buy from Europe. Was hoping to avoid that.

    Leftover McClelland Bulk

    Thanks Cosmic. Unfortunately they didn't know...only that they were McClelland, marked with a little "mc."

    Leftover McClelland Bulk

    Stopped by a B&M today and found about 3 ounces of a Va flake blend called "St. Andrews" and about 7 ounces of a Va/Oriental flake blend called "Devonshire." Both were very dry (just how I like them) and then bought all of it. St. Andrews looks, smells, and tastes like Mc 5100 or 2010 or...

    Vacation From Pipe Smoking

    Hang in there, Tom. Right there with you- on a three week pause due to a sinus thing I can’t shake. Will be so happy to smoke that first bowl.

    Full Virginia Flake is awesome

    Love love love it. It’s been about 6months now that I’ve been waiting for FVF and other Sam Gawith blends to become available again. I’m so desperate I’ve considered paying the steep EBay prices. Alas, good things come to those who wait.

    RATTRAY'S DROP

    Just grabbed some Rattrays for the first time at 4noggins. Very excited to try these blends after 20 yrs of pipe smoking.

    IM Corona Old Boy review

    Sam from Elegant Lighters is going to send a replacement once I return it... so we shall see.

    IM Corona Old Boy review

    Thanks for weighing in... I do have good fuel and did bleed it upon refilling. I really, really want to like this lighter, so I’m hoping the folks will replace it and let me give it another try. I’ll post the results.

    IM Corona Old Boy review

    I had an Amazon gift card that had gone unused for too long... after much thought and research I purchased the pewter Old Boy on amazon. It worked great for seven days but is now broken. Not sure if I received a defective one or what. It has stopped lighting easily and if/when I get it lit it...

    Retrohale: yes or no?

    For some reason I didn’t learn to retrohale until I’d been smoking the pipe for over 15 years...a whole new dimension was added.

    Favorite Old School Drug Store Blends

    Lawdawg- yes I smoke CH, LL Readying Rubbed, Sutliffe’s RR match, and other sweet Burley blends for exactly this reason! If my palate is off, or blends start tasting weird, I reach for these. I also reach for these when I get too bogged down in random parts of the hobby and want to remember the...
