    St Louis Pipe Show

    Randy931, where do you live? Find the Viking Pipe Club Booth at the show. Hey guys, I'm just going to put a plug in here for the St. Louis Gateway Pipe Show, coming up on February 19th, 2011. I'm not a member of the St. Louis Pipe Club. They're suburban, and I'm in the city, so I started my...

    My daughter was mean to me!

    It's funny. My 2 year old son (see the avatar) has a crazy fascination with my pipes, while my wife absolutely hates them. She's friends with some of the wives of my smoking buddies and they gather strength and solidarity in their stories of denying us lovin' on the pipe smoking days.

    looking for tin suggestions for my cellar

    If your looking at McClelland, don't forget about the new Legends and Wilderness blends. Seriously tasty.

    How many pipes

    I got up to 25 pipes or so, and it actually started causing me stress: "Which pipe is best for X tobacco?" "What if I don't smoke this pipe enough now? It cost so much, I need to be smoking it more often" etc. I had to whittle it down just to settle my head. Now I've settled to a dirty...

    Tried Dunhill..

    I for one can't get into 965. I know that's sacrilege, but I've tried more than 5 times and it just doesn't do it for me. I've got a 4-5 year old tin of the London Mixture aging for a cold winter's day some time though. Haven't tried it yet either. To tell the truth, my favorite Dunhill mix...

    Is it a Peterson?

    Savinelli does the same thing with their Oscar line. "A Savinelli Product" it says, but it still says "Savinelli" Oh, and great smokers as well!

    Glue to use on a Peterson Mount?

    Excellent, Sir. I thank you!

    Does anyone have an experience with Savinelli's repair service?

    You definitely don't want to mess with the Savinelli U.S.A. side of the business. They are no help at all with anything. I asked them a simple question about the dating of their pipes once (the transition from a 4# system to a 3# system and they basically told me I was crazy. I had to talk...

    New pipe bag for Christmas

    That is QUALITY! I like the heavy duty zipper. My mom (of all people) gave me a Martin Weiss 5-pipe bag for Christmas. I love that thing.

    pipe clubs

    Yeah, I've found that there are a few "collectors" at my pipe club who love to geek out with each other over pipes. But most of the guys who come just like to smoke a pipe, drink some beer, and hang out. They aarent in it for in depth pipe discussions.

    Continuing my quest to be a crotchety old man at 20...

    That's excellent. Now all you need is an ascot, a carriage and a "touch of the rheumatism."

    Middle Earth Pipeweed Series from Just For Him?

    Try Morning Coffee from Just For Him for an aromatic that's better than most. Does the Shortcut to Mushrooms really taste like mushrooms? Because, I'm not a fan of mushrooms, but everyone says it's great.

    Do Expensive Pipes Really Smoke Better?

    Doc Brown of Springfield, MO once took a look at my newly purchased Peterson 306 System pipe and said to me, "Now see here...all that glitters is not gold when it comes to these new pipes." When I asked what he meant, he explained that a new pipe will always take a while to be a great smoker...
