Pictures of my pipes
Thanks. As I know little of Peterson Pipes, it seemed a good idea to ask Chuck - our resident Peterson guy, about this Pipe. He thinks that it may be a 312. A faceted meer in the 312 shape is somewhat unusual My thought was that the bit might have been a replacement on this Pipe, but Chuck... -

Thanks guys. Both of these Pipes have taken some time to find and acquire. New Meerschaum Pipe sales have been lacking this quarter, for reasons that are beyond my understanding. In the case of Karahan's Nude of the Nile, it worked in my favor. I watched it get re-listed for 3-4 months and... -
Pictures of my pipes
Today has been a good day for Pipe acquisitions. I've always had a passion for these old Petes. This is an Estate African Block Facet Peterson, with the silver band and P-Lip. These have been selling for much more than I was able to get away with, so I'm quite pleased. I should have it in... -

The legend of the Nude of the Nile is that the exposed breasts of the women caused the Nile to flood yearly, providing for ample harvest. This is Karahan's Figural, celebrating this legend. http://pipesmagazine.com/members/fred/album/picture/819 -

My antique pipe rack restoration project
What fun! Your project restoration is like watching Old Yankee Workshop. Years ago, the cabinetry bug bit me big time. Thanks for sharing.- fred

Esoterica's lack of availability.
I agree Kevin. The renewed interest in Pipe smoking is a positive event for us all. It also presents a challenge to producers to keep pace with an increasing market demand, part of which is due to a trend to cellar blends. It's an interesting time in the marketplace and the influence of...- fred

Esoterica's lack of availability.
I have read posts in another Forum that state Butera has retired. In a conversation with Premal Chedda this evening, he confirmed this, as his reliance on Butera to import the Smoker's Haven Imported Blend, manufactured by Germain and Sons, has been interrupted for some time now. This is a...- fred

anyone try this for storage?
I agree with Cortezattic's list of Greg's ideas on vacuum sealing for long term storage. One of the benefits of a cellar is to allow blends to age, which requires air to do so. If there's no air, then there's no fermentation - either aerobic or anaerobic. The jury is still out for me on the...- fred

Whats with corn cobs?
Ya, you're right. I had no reason to call you an anti-briar-ite. Sorry. But... I am an anti cob-ite. :) I used to be called a Moron, but I'm really Presbyterian. No worries. We all promote what we prefer & I'm no different. With the way things are in the country, we need all the Pipe...- fred

Whats with corn cobs?
Fred, I think you're just an anti-briar-ite -- to borrow a Seinfeldism. Cobs suck, and I'm not gonna play some politically correct game by denying it. The king has no clothes. But as long as you enjoy them, well have at it with my blessings. I don't denigrate other's preference for Briar...- fred

Whats with corn cobs?
Yes, the Cob is really a surprising Pipe for many. These Pipes will even draw compliments, when smoked in public, from some that say it reminds them of a relative or form others that just haven't seen a Pipe being smoked much. For me, the Burley blends of straightforward character perform...- fred

Morning Pipe
Yes, those peak smoking experiences are amazing. For me, it really doesn't depend upon a specific blend or Pipe, or time of day for that matter. It's the receptive mood that makes it more likely to happen. If I try and recreate the experience, it just doesn't work. The best I can do is to...- fred
