    Yet Another Ye Ol' British Television Thread

    I second The Royale it is very well done and there is the pipe smoking that is a nice feature.

    Wildlife Photography

    Enjoying the discussion. Can always pick up some things or a perspective that will be helpful. Agree entirely that the important thing is to see or imagine the shot, be patient and create one that has action in some form that tells a story with visual effect.

    Do's and Don'ts of Estate Meerschaum Buying

    I am fine with an old meer if the pipe appeals to me. I bought a 1911 Edwardian lady meer as it was very similar to my great-grandmother in her wedding picture. Even after thorough cleaning you will have to deal with some funk but depending on what tobacco was smoked in it that may not be much...

    Can Anyone Help Me Fight P.A.D.??

    I agree with this, I always wanted to collect something but wanted it to be something that was useful to me. Pipes tick that box and a lot more. My collecting has changed over time but I still enjoy adding pipes.

    I'm A What???

    I am no longer sure if congratulations are in order but I do recommend spending more time in the library than in your bunk.

    Can Anyone Help Me Fight P.A.D.??

    When I want to buy less pipes I preset conditions under which I might consider a purchase. I usually link these conditions to the reason(s) I am buying less pipes. Only you know your reasons for buying less pipes. If you have clear reasons for making decisions on pipes, you won’t say yes to...

    Anyone Heard From Jay?

    Glad to hear you are okay, Jay. Sorry for the challenges your sisters are creating. I will pray that they come to their senses and that a path becomes clear for you. I hope that as you go through this you will receive all the support you need to strengthen you.

    What Kind of Pipes do you Like and Why?

    My collection is definitely a mishmash, I don’t know how many but at this point between 120 and 150 is a guess. 80% briar, 15% cob, 5% meer and getting ever closer to pulling the trigger on that first clay. While the first thing I want in a pipe is that it will smoke well there are many things...

    Who Taught You to Smoke a Pipe?

    I did have memories of a great uncle and a friend’s father who were pipe smokers, but they were not teachers. I read a few articles on the internet and bought a pipe and a rum and butter aromatic at the mall B&M. Then the journey was on. The results were positive enough to keep at it and I soon...

    Anniversary Commission Pipes from Mark Tinsky

    Congratulations on the 20 years and the beautiful gift! All the best for many more!

    Gawith Hoggarth Drop

    Yes, I thought I would try the black rope before the brown. A little caution might be warranted. A full meal and a small bowl to start. I like strong flavours and am intrigued. Thanks for the tip on the grating.

    Gawith Hoggarth Drop

    Got some Black Irish X and Dark Flake Unscented. Wondering if my curiosity about the rope will be a pleasant surprise or terrible mistake?
