    You might want to get the freeze frame ready—the Ropp La Montagnarde might’ve been used in Death Rides a Horse.

    It Appears Lee Van Cleef's Two Most Famous Pipes Have Been Acquired

    I was looking at them at the other forum this morning. They seem legit. It’s pretty awesome to learn what so many people speculated was a Wellington all these years is a Plymouth—this is a detail that that I found delightful. The screen matched shots are compelling. I love it.

    EP. 2 Is This Pete a Meer or Clay?

    I forget the specifics, but it has to do with the metal ferrule. I will check when I have more time, but it probably won’t be until the weekend. I have to leave for New York shortly.

    I have not had Jorge cigars, but speaking of PerfecDraw, PerfecRepair works well to fix unraveled wrappers: https://theperfecsmoke.com/products/perfecrepair%C2%AE%EF%B8%8F

    How Do You Pick Your Next Smoke?

    Some of my choices depend on the day of the week. If it’s a Saturday, chances are there’s a UFC broadcast that night. The pipes that I have that have chambers that hold enough tobacco for a single smoking session that lasts close to six hours or more are somewhat limited; I try to cycle through...

    ***What Are You Smoking, October 2025?***

    I haven’t smoked this combo in over three years—lighting up Seattle Pipe Club Hood Canal in a Savinelli Estella 131 KS Billiard/Tall Stack with a caramel/pearl swirled Half-Saddle stem.

    Seattle Pipe Club Vegas show announcement.

    If Cornell & Diehl is out of the picture, I guess we will never see this blend. I guess we’ll find out in a few weeks.

    Contemplative Silliness?

    A cigar only requires about two puffs per minute to stay lit; this means it doesn’t require puffing hard and could be considered sipping like a pipe.

    Did I damage my pipe?

    As stated above, it’s a bit hard to see, but to me, it looks like there’s a piece of burnt tobacco sitting in the groove of the draught hole.

    Butz-Choquin Shank Expansion

    My concern would be weakening the shank at the filter/tenon interface area—there’s a lot of torque involved when twisting a stem off.
