    Laugh In

    That was one of my favorite shows. It raised the bar for comedy and had a great cast. I remember Dan Rowan often smoking a pipe on the show, but thought nothing of it at the time. Times sure have changed.

    My First Girly Pipe

    Welcome to the forum and enjoy your meerschaum. I have never used alcohol on my meerschaums. I've come across too many warnings that it could dissolve the beeswax. One of mine has gotten a little dirty on the outside and I just let it be. I figure that as it darkens with age, the dirty spots...

    More Than Anything I Like a Pipe That

    My Latest Rad Davis Commission a Zulu

    Beautiful pipe, Harris. I noticed the finish he puts on face of the shank on some other pipes of his. I've never seen it as finely finished on other pipes. What will your first smoke in it be?

    Restored 1915 Peterson

    Shaintiques, great job on the restoration. Did you use anything to seal the crack? Rothnh, how much of a temperature swing do you think it would take to cause a pipe to crack?

    James Upshall Sandblast

    mfgold welcome to the forum. You will enjoy your Upshall. They are great smoking pipes. The brand was started in 1978 by Kenneth Barnes, who was managing director of Charatan. He took with him Barry Jones, Charatan's best pipe carver, who took over after Barnes died. Current production is...

    Rustication Outmoded?

    I think the rusticated finish has been raised to an art form by the Italian pipe makers and is used by many of the highly regarded pipe makers. The Castello Sea Rock finish is one example. There are also the carved finishes which I consider a separate category, such as the Dripped Wax Finish or...

    Esoterica Tobacco Blends - Opinions (Except Penzance & Stonehaven)

    I've been wondering what smokers think of their blends other than Penzance and Stonehaven, so I find this posting especially interesting. Appreciate your asking the question, Eaglerico.

    Can't Stop Ordering Tobacco...

    I've tried several of the other highly rated flakes, but they were out of Dunhill Flake the last time I ordered, so I'll take advantage of the sale and order some Dunhill Flake and Orlik from Smokingpipes.com on my next order.

    Thank you, Carl Weber!

    I bought the book when it first came out in 1965 and found it well written and a good source of pipe knowledge. Another excellent book is "The Book of Pipes and Tobacco" by Carl Ewha, published in 1973 by Random House. Unfortunately, they only did one printing because it concerned smoking...

    Smokeless in Seattle (Article by Ethan Brandt)

    "Cannot be flavored" What do they consider "flavored"? A lot of popular blends could fall into that category, especially aromatics.

    What Are You Smoking? April 2013

    Solani 633 Flake as the first smoke in a newly acquired estate Savinelli Capri Zulu. Bought it as a flake pipe and it's showing great promise as one.

    Which Do You Pick First? Pipe or Tobacco?

    Sometimes the pipe, sometimes the tobacco. I've accumulated enough pipes that there's plenty to choose from with either approach.

    Your LAST Smoke

    The slowest burning blend in the largest bowl I can find! Seriously, for sentimental reasons, Patterson's Mixture from The Owl Shop. It one of the first English blends I tried many years ago and it would bring back many memories.

    So My Friend Wants to Try Smoking a Pipe...

    I think the preparation required for a flake or navy cut might be a little discouraging to some people starting out. A couple different type blends would give him an idea of the variety in pipe tobacco. Some Carter Hall, an English like Early Morning Pipe or 965, a virginia or Vaper blend that's...

    What is on the To-Do List for Today...

    Got a haircut earlier. Now I'm on the computer, smoking a bowl of Presbyterian Mixture. Tonight, I'm going with family to my grandson's favorite Japanese restuarant to celebrate his 16th birthday. No projects, no chores, just a quiet day.
