    David P. Ehrlich & Co. of Boston

    Thanks kcvet67. I've seen this name for years associated with Meerschaum Pipes. I never knew that Gustave Fischer worked for them. Gustave's Figurals are extraordinary, easily on a par with Andreas Bauer of Vienna, many are being safely being kept in private collections of a few serious...

    "Smoking your breakfast"

    That's quite the Pipe Winton! Would you tell us more about it, like what it's made of and where it came from? Thanks.

    December, 2010 What Are You Smoking? II

    We're in for another cold night..., predicted low of 23 F. I'm staying by the fire with some Dunhill Navy Rolls in Twain's Choice. This blend has quickly become part of my open rotation and has representation in the cellar. It should age well, but already I find the fresh stuff to be...

    Favorite Shape

    For me, the Horn and the Bulldog have always been favorites for the classic shapes. Just the same, I also enjoy the Poker and the Rhodesian.

    Thanks Bubbadreier. I've been at this for awhile. Even so, a friend of mine in San Antonio has a Meerschaum collection that is easily double the size of mine. Both of us have Meerschaums in our respective collections that were the winnings of hotly contested bidding between the two of us...

    oom paul, A question please

    I think surfmac211 has the answer to your question and the reasonable expectation that it will resolve as you get used to bigger bowl chambers.

    oom paul, A question please

    It sounds like the chamber of the OomPaul is larger than what you are accustomed to. If this is the case, it could be that smoking more tobacco gives you more of a nicotine content to deal with. Ghosting is a term that refers to a resident taste that some blends leave in a Pipe. When you...

    Well, PAD struck again...

    Yes. The old Kaywoodie Pipes have a grace to them that in many ways set the standard for Pipe shapes. That's a swell looking Pipe!

    There's a New Sheriff in Town

    Excellent! I was wondering when this would happen, as I know Lawrence has been doing an excellent job, but the work load has picked up. Congrats Jeremiah! There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that most of us don't even know about, but it's necessary to keep things running smooth...

    Meerschaum after 1 week of coloring

    The thing about coloring Meerschaum Pipes is that each one is an individual case. Some will color relatively quickly, while others do not. I've been smoking a CAO Bacchus since '82 and only now are his eyes beginning to light up. Granted, it's uncommon for one to color this quickly, but...

    December, 2010 What Are You Smoking?

    Good evening. It's Schurch Torina in the IMP Blowfish. It will be a sad day when my supply of this blend is exhausted. What a fine medium Balkan. Best to all.
