    I think I have leukoplakia because I smoke a pipe

    What are You Smoking? January 1, 2014

    Staying warm by smoking some Star of the East in a pre-war Comoy's Extraordinaire bullcap #498.

    What is the brand with a diamond-P?

    Nice pipe. A silver band repair would make the pipe good as new.

    Estate Comoy

    Sounds good. Hey, where's the "like" button? Kidding aside, I've long sought out these older Comoys on EBay. They usually smoke great, and, if you're lucky, can be had for a song. Congrats.

    Eliminating Smoke Smell and Saying Hello

    I smoke a pipe. I figure the smell pretty much comes with the territory.

    Estate Comoy

    Congrats Allan on a fine looking vintage Comoy's bent. It does look like a 225, as Al mentioned. Comoy made fine thin stems, perfect for clenching. And there's a nice field of bird's eye on that one too. Don't forget to thoroughly clean the shank on those old estates. Enjoy!

    I think I have leukoplakia because I smoke a pipe

    While I sympathize with the OP, and disagree with some of the ridicule, I will say its best not to be a pipe smoker if you are a hypochondriac. Youse make your bed and sleep in it. Which is to say that each person is different. We all come to the table with different levels of built in...

    Acid Alkaline Diet

    You are what you eat. Literally. I've tried over the years to stay away from all processed foods and beverages. Even make my own bread, pastries and pizza. It's amazing how short lived a loaf of fresh bread is compared to its highly processed counterpart, with preservatives, that'll last for...

    English vs. American Pipe Smoking History

    Excellent thread Mr.LC. Outstanding contributions from one and all. I suppose the British equivalent of the drug store pipe were the numerous seconds, thirds, etc. already mentioned. After all, Comoys had the Everyman pipe, and a range of seconds, as well as a range of pipes not stamped Comoys...

    To Everyone Experiencing the "Deep Freeze"

    Here's what I'm facing this morning in NJ.

    I work hard all day so (Fill in the Blank)

    Our dog gives new meaning to the term couch potato. I envy a dog's life. Except they can't smoke pipes. Lol.

    What is worse?

    This is a common problem with new pipes. I've seen it with Petes, Stanwells, Ashtons. Even a few Dunhills. Stain in the chamber and / or shank. It'll ruin the taste, at least for the first half dozen bowls. That's why with every new pipe I will meticulously clean out the bowl and shank down to...

    Hello From Ontario, Canada

    Belated Introduction

    Welcome aboard, Johnny. Great pipe collection there. I like the big green Pete. You're lucky, as a contactor, you can probably smoke at work. Wish I could. Lol.

    C&D's Revamped Website

    Wow! My favorite blending house. Home of my quintessential Star of the East, Engine 99, Red Odessa and Pirate Kake. All of which I store by the pound. Beautiful revamp on the old web site. Great articles on cellaring and tobacco classification. First aerobic fermentation, then anaerobic aging...

    Top Two Inexpensive Tobaccos

    In the US, most 50g tins sell for around $12, or thereabouts. Most 8oz. tins are in the $35 range. And most one pound or 16oz. tins sell for $55 on up. I'm lucky. My favorite smoke of all time is C&D's Star of the East. It sells for around $35 a pound in bulk at smokingpipes or $146 for a five...
