    My New Pipe Storage and Cellar Cabinet from IKEA - Pic Heavy

    I like it! At the moment my pipes sit on a bookshelf in empty ball jar boxes.... looks terrible.

    Beautiful New Lids For Mason Jars Arrived Today

    Very skillful.... to write a paragraph that is cocky, arrogant, condescending and sarcastic with such ease. Excellent penmanship. Even Shakespeare, who was somewhat quoted earlier, would be proud.

    However This Castello Does Have a Minor Issue

    Oldgeezersmoker, great post. I bought mine (the one mentioned above) from a VERY reputable dealer, who we all know, and may or may not be a sponsor of this forum, and I strongly suspect they turned a blind eye to it. Why do I think that? Because of the hundreds of Castellos they have sold (2...

    Oh-Oh, the Retrohale

    I retrohale every puff... but a little different to how I've seen others do it. For a start, I dont do it while clenching, and find it almost impossible... The way I do it is to draw the smoke into your moith.... start to exhale thay breath through your mouth... then close your mouth while...

    However This Castello Does Have a Minor Issue

    I just received a brand new Sea Rock 55 kk.... very disappointed to see the airway doesn't meet the centre of the Bowl - it's not even close Its not that hard to drill a hole centered and straight, and I can only imagine they had an apprentice on the job the day it was made. And it beyond...

    FDA Begins Unannounced Inspections of Pipe Makers

    All politics and positions aside.... I find it a very sad state of affairs, and a terrible indictment on modern policy that the FDA inspection even occurred. If it had been the EPA who had queried the Jeff, and the suppliers of the briar for reasons of environmental protection, that would have...

    Australian Pipe Smokers?

    Stellar idea! Let's go to a public forum and openly discuss ways to package and ship regulated and taxable items in order to avoid duties and taxes !! Brilliant! A true community service! :roll:

    Jim's Revised Peretti's Park Square Review.

    Thanks so much, Jim. To digress slightly, do you knoe if the Peretti's #8 Slices has changed, or did they always use Sutliff Va?

    Escudo/PS LBF

    Same road travelled here.... But I'll always keep my English mixtures in my cellar....they will be back in my rotation one day, I'm sure!!

    How BIG is your cellar?

    I'm like Mark and Neal, and use an excel sheet I made myself.... And absolutely do not track cost, as that is unimportant. I'm tracking tobacco dammit!

    Pipe price

    Raevans used a word / phrase above that resonated with.... "Trophy". That's what a lot of this is to most, including myself. Pride of ownership and the thrill of the chase.... culminating in acquisition is addictive. Only problem is that once acquired, attention moves to find what will be the...

    Canada customs returning package unopened

    Cgarmaster and Hoosier will remember... Back in the day (and still carrying on to present) on the cigar forums, discussion about shipping methods and customs was prohibited. Every forum had the same rule in force. I find it odd that so many, talk ao freely, in a public domain....

    A Day With Harris/Cigarmaster

    This is really cool, Mark - and funnily enough, Harris is one of the dudes I'd love to meet in person one day - we share a similar story in our pipe journey; which starts out in cigars over 20 years ago and ends up in full blown over the top Pipe love! A number of posts in this thread also...

    Mac Baren 1lb Bags

    I've gone with a combination of jarring some of my purchases and Mylar bagging the others. The jarred lots were in 2oz to 4oz portions, and the Mylar bag was just the whole pound.

    Smoker's Haven Mixtures In-Stock

    22 for 2oz..... Wowzas!

    Has Any Member Really Run Out of Tobacco?

    I'll never even get close to running out..... But I justify every purchase I make by telling the missus that I need more because I'm just about to run out!!

    Broken Pipe: Chip Kushner

    Terribly sad, especially so young. A tragic loss. May he Rest in Peace eternally. With a full pipe, and a lit ember.
