    Ben Wade Nobel Prize - Preben Holm's Finest

    Bang. Those are beauties. I don't flip out over grain much, but those pipes are stunning. Actually it's not even just the grain, it's how it works in the entire context of the pipe's design.

    Just got the winning bid on a 1940s Dunhill Shell!

    That's a VERY sharp pipe. I bet it cleans up nicely. A good cleaning is probably all the shank needs to get that stem back inside. I would wait a bit after I cleaned it in case you were thinking about altering or sanding the tenon to trim it down. IMO sometimes wet briar gets a little...

    Moist or Dry

    Not disagreeing with Daylight or you Salmon. I've never gotten the whole tobacco drying bit. Unless the tobacco is wet to the point where you can juice it, I haven't had a problem with it. (I swear I once got Anni Kake that must have just got out of the shower) I pay more attention to...

    RC Sands Pipe Shoutout

    Del that's a nice little flake pipe. I was looking at a smaller egg he had at Smoker's Haven before I bought two off his ebay page.

    RC Sands Pipe Shoutout

    I normally don't do this sort of thing but I have to say I have just had a fantastic experience which Chuck "RC" Sands and his pipes. For those of you who don't know, Chuck makes and sells his own pipes (Smoker's Haven has a few) under the name RC Sands. What you get are good solid pipes...

    Peterson silver spigot

    Congrats! For something a little saucy and tangy I'd give McCelland's Beacon or Tudor Castle a whirl. Or if you don't care for McCelland Virginias...Peterson makes a good VaPer with a bit of burley in Irish Oak.

    Peterson silver spigot

    The guys have given you some great advice. If it's a silver spigot you want, then a silver spigot will probably make you happy. I've got a few pipes I overpaid for or didn't need (I mean hey my older ones smoked fine) but there was something about them I wanted. (I just bought a Deluxe...

    Restoration Of A Oldrich Jirsa Pipe

    HA! Dur, that's another beauty. I really like that brandy-ish shape.

    Falcon Pipes Question

    I think the natural air pocket has a lot to do with it. I actually air pocket a lot of blends I smoke in my normal briars and cobs too. I love my falcon. I can set it down anywhere and not worry about banging it up. I'm really tempted to pick up a few more bowls.

    Very nice Dave. I'm happy for you. I like that flared shank.

    Learning Restoration: Project Pipe #1

    Nice job Mike! You just saved that baby and gave it another chance. I'm not the world's greatest restorer, but there are just so MANY good pipes out there that just need a little work.

    Hardwood Pipes vs Briar

    Thanks Perique. Some of those are pretty nice. I think I'm going to give one a shot.

    Smoke Enemas. Really?

    Oh yes. And long before that the indigenous South American tribes did the same.

    My new Peterson..

    That's a beauty. Your going to enjoy that pipe for years. I'm a big fan of EMP. It was one of the first blends I tried when starting out and while it wasn't my favorite at the time, I realized there were a ton of flavors going on at once. It kind of lead me down a rabbit hole. If you come...

    Another Restoration Attempt

    Ditto on the shape bit. I like that flared backside of the bowl. I only have one autograph but it's a great English smoker. The only thing that keeps me from smoking it more often is the bowl is so darn big.

    Hardwood Pipes vs Briar

    I have my grandfather's Mountain Laurel panel billiard. I haven't smoked it but since it's got cake built up 17 miles thick on it, I'm guessing he liked it. I second/third the notion of pear wood. I would actually pick up another Mr. Brog but their design isn't my cup of tea.

    To P-Lip or Not to P-Lip...'Tis the Question...

    I used to dislike p lips but lately I've taken to smoking English blends out of them. I don't care to smoke VaPers from them however.

    Newbie Who Got Hooked

    Welcome! I started with a cob myself and I still love them. I even keep a few spares in case any company wants to try a few puffs.
