    Pipe wrapped in leather

    My first pipe purchased in 1972.... I bought it because I didn't know anything about pipe smoking, but it was just different. It's actually a very poor shape for tamping, and just a bad design all around. (You can't see from the small photo, but the bowl is oval shaped.)

    Reverse Winter: It's Too Hot to Smoke

    The warmest weather I've ever been in was about 117°F, but it didn't keep me from smoking...! :P

    The "Z" (or N if you are a sideways kind of guy/gal) flake method

    Hadn't tried this one but opened a tin of Peterson University Flake to try it. Wow...!

    Pipe Smoking Image--Old vs. Young, Eccentric, Nostalgic or Strange????

    I also started smoking a pipe when I was 18. I'm 60 now and never cared what others thought of it...

    HH Latakia Flake Available @ Smokingpipes

    Sold... But clicked the "Email Me" when restocked link. 10 minuets later I'm checking my mail and Voila! Got the notice already. Was so excited! Clicked the link, got 5 tins ordered... Then noticed I just ordered 5 more tins of Old Dark Fired.... Damn! I need to read my mail, not just look...

    New Altinok Meerschaum

    I've had a pipe or two that had a stem that wasn't quit right or felt a bit thick in my teeth. If I was happy with the rest of the pipe (and yours looks like it's coloring beautifully) I didn't send it back. I get some sand paper type nail files, with medium and fine sides and go to work on it...

    Vintage Bourbon Bottle Identification?

    I'm with beefeater... The bad thing about whiskey is that it's done aging once it's removed from the barrel and bottled. It doesn't continue to age like a wine does. Seeings how the seal is broken, I'd drink it!

    BBB Calabash - Meerschaum? Asbestos?

    This could be a standard calabash from that era, gourd body holding a meerschaum bowl under the silver cap... Ream the inside of the bowl some and see if it isn't just meerschaum. Let us know....

    Refinishing A Meerschaum Pipe?

    I've never tried to refinish a meerschaum and would cringe at the idea of trying. But I don't think I'd use a buffing wheel at all. It seams to me the buffing compound would be impregnated into the pores of the pipe. I read some years ago that the meerschaum pipe makes use some kind of abrasive...

    2nd Hand Choke (Cartoon)

    Ha! You should see the Sailors have a stroke when you walk out on the flight deck of a carrier with an unlit pipe in your teeth. Funny!

    Ha! Yeah.... You may notice that I didn't recommend it, just told those that may like it, or want an inexpensive tobacco about the sale.
