Kaywoodie
The older Adjustomatic style grabows are the way to go, not so much the filter pipes. I have a 1938 Kaywoodie in pristine condition, that is in my regular rotation. Adjusted for inflation, the price listed on the literature for the day would put it in today's prices in the $60-$100 mark. If you...- portascat

BCA, Forgot How Good It Really Is....
BTW, a rough half and half mix of BCA and 1Q is quite nice. As well, either, mixed in about a 25%-50% ratio to a codger burley makes a nice smoke, too. As noted, very nice and easy smokes. Kind of like a coffee with lots of cream. Not a bad thing to have once in a while, but not really what you...- portascat

A Pipe & 1/4 Pound of Tobacco - Only $19.95!
Got mine. I gave the pipe to my wife, and it was the bent shown in a half dozen pics above. Not a bad pipe, considering the price. She has yet to smoke it, due to some bronchitis. I am not much of an aromatic smoker any longer. Although I do enjoy the occasional bowl of Shortcut to Mushrooms or...- portascat

Praise for Walker Briar Works
He did a fantastic job on a GDB for me. Took him a bit to get around to it, but I could see its place in the work line via his website. I think his turn around time has sped up with the addition of a new hand, IIRC.- portascat

A Pipe & 1/4 Pound of Tobacco - Only $19.95!
I ordered a package. I had a Magic Inch pipe, bought from Ebay, quite some time ago. Was not really impressed with it, but am quite willing to give it another go. I am a Grabow lover, and there have a been a few that didn't do the trick, as well.- portascat

Ebay Feedback
I have only left bad feedback on one occasion. Bought two estate pipes that were completely bogus crap, stems didn't match bowls at all, were not the Kaywoodies he claimed them to be, etc. These were $5 estate pipes, so I wasn't expecting much, but a complete and total misrepresentation and lie...- portascat

Perfect Tobacco Jars at Hobby Lobby
In any case, with a little shopping between craft shops, walmart, hardware stores, and dollar shops, one can find a variety of inexpensive screw and bail type glass jars. I even found some for my wife, that are press fit with a rubber plug gasket that work just fine.- portascat

Bjarne COPENHAGEN SANDBLAST Pipe - Brandy
I actually have that very pipe, or one very close to it. Looks just the same, and mine is the Bjarne Copenhagen IIRC, and stamped "Viking Classic". In any case, it is a well made pipe, looks very good, balances well, smokes well, and I have no complaints at all. You can see me smoking it in one...- portascat

I can find them in several variations at Hobby Lobby, and the local Dollar Store. The ones at the Dollar Store are, obviously, a dollar.- portascat

I Just May Have Found My Go To Baccy, Now I'm Happy
1Q mixed half and half with BCA is nice. And, as Ed suggested, mixing it half and half with a nice straight (or very lightly topped) Burley is pleasant.- portascat

Calling all internet shoppers!
as a former teenager, I can attest to thinking a lot of things looking cool on me, and finding out much later I looked like a moron. As the father of a 17 year old, and very soon to be 18 year old, and almost everything he thinks is edgy, cutting edge, cool, hip, crunk, boss, and so on makes him...- portascat

Need some opinions/advice.
What do your potential work mates look like? If they all channel Mitt Romney, lose the hair. If it is a mixed bunch, ditch the earrings and keep the rug. I would say ditch the earrings at work, no matter what the hair.- portascat

Ordered My First New Pipe
First pipe that really got me excited about owning it was a DG Grand Duke. Me and that pipe learned together. A filter styled and that crazy rustification on the newer Grabows. I haven't smoked her in quite some time, but I keep her around out of respect.- portascat

Stanley Thermos
I bought one of the old green ones (maybe they are all green) with the shiny cup and the pop up pourer. My (now ex) wife took it to her school one day and it disappeared. She swore up and down for two years she didn't take it to school with her (she was a teacher). When she changed schools, I...- portascat
