    Tell Me About Electric Guitars

    Any electric guitar players here? I've dabbled with acoustic, is electric much different? I've heard they are easier to play than acoustic due to the strings being smaller?

    Show Me Pipe Rack / Storage Options

    As I look to get a new pipe, I took a look at my existing pipes in an effort to 'cull the herd'. Turns out I just need a bigger barn. I'd like to see some different ways you guys are storing your pipes. I have limited space for them, and need some ideas on how to store / display them.

    What Does 2023 Hold for Pipe Smoking?

    Look into your crystal balls and tell me what you see in store for us in 2023. I see more of the usual, increased taxes in the US causing Canadians to laugh, increased restrictions in Australia. But I am hopeful there might be some positives, although I can't quite put my finger on what they...

    Looking for A Nice (Reasonably Priced) Prince

    Just sending this out there for some recommendations on a nice Prince shape, light-medium stain, maybe something different with the stem. I certainly do not need a new pipe, but that shape has always drawn my eye. Preferably new (don't seem to have the time to refresh estates anymore), but if...

    Friendly Appeal to Our International Members

    Part of what makes this forum so special is the diverse group we have here from all over the world. The other part is the Secret Santa thread. If you've been under a rock for the past few weeks, you've probably missed the thread. But the gist of it is, you sign up and agree to send some tobacco...

    Nice To See Smokingpipes Showing Some Love To Brigham

    Just got the Smokingpipes email with new specials and offers, and was happy to see Brigham take the spotlight. They are a brand that flies under the radar, but I've never heard a bad thing about them. If you're looking to add to your rotation, I'd highly recommend them. Here is my little 'Birth...

    Talk To Me About Boats

    Occasionally I feel like the cat in this meme; I live on a lake, have many lakes within driving distance, and I think my kids would get a kick out of it. On the other hand, I've heard that 'boat' stands for "bust out another thousand". I'd be looking at getting something like this for a few...

    UK Members: How Are You Staying Cool?

    I heard on the radio that it reaching 40°c in the UK right now, for the first time ever. They also said that homes there are designed to stay warm, not stay cool - only 5% of homes have AC. So what are you doing to stay cool? I'm worried that @mawnansmiff 'S vintage book collection will just...

    I Guess They Will Keep Me Around

    Just got business cards at work, where I started about 4 months ago. I guess they will keep me around ? I was going into an industry I knew nothing about, after being a stay at home dad for a few years. Never too old to start something new guys.

    Pipe Tobacco Subscription Service?

    Is there something like a 'Blend of the Month' pipe tobacco subscription service? If all state laws were adhered to, it might be an interesting way to try new blends.

    Do Economic Downturns or the Stock Market Affect Your Buying Pipes?

    Tiltle re-worded slightly. If I am off base, Mike, PM me. -jpm The money that I spend of my hobbies is fixed and separate from other accounts. Imagine an envelope I fill from time to time with spare money. If I don't have spare money, I don't fill the envelope. If I don't fill the envelope, I...
