    Savinelli Unfinished, Finished.

    Here's a Savinelli that I bought unfinished, then sanded with MicroMesh all the way up to 12000. Next comes a buffing with carnuba.

    New Year's Resolution(s) 2018!

    Seems like a good time to discuss the changes that we'd like to make in our piping life in 2018. "I'll finally try Mixture 79" or "I'll only smoke Brylon pipes"...that sort of thing. So here goes. I only have one real resolution: "I will not buy any more tobacco. Not one flake" Calculating...

    First Snow

    The first snow of the season blanketed much of the Northeast today. I was fortunate to have finished some restoration work on a new-to-me Kriswill Bernadette, and decided that some Dunhill flake and a bit of Dad's Hat Rye would make for a nice evening out on the deck. What did you do?

    Need Replacement Stem for Stanwell 62

    I recently acquired this nice Stanwell 62. It needs some restoration work, not least of which is the ill-fitting stem. I'd like to get a new stem cut, as close to the original as possible. I had some stems cut a number of years ago, and they had the Stanwell hot stamp, which was nice to have on...

    Dearborn, Michigan: Pipe-friendly Places?

    I'll be in Dearborn next week for work. The hotel is smoke-free, damn it. Anyone know of places near The Dearborn Inn where I can enjoy a pipe?

    Scotto Pipes

    Yesterday evening I had the pleasure to attend the Lehigh Valley Pipe club, and to see some of the pipes made by local carver Juan Pablo Scotto. His son Juan (also an accomplished pipemaker) is a member of our club and brought some of his father's work along with him last night. I thought that...

    Gawith Hoggarth Rum Flake

    A while back I bought a bit of Rum Flake, based mostly on the name. This afternoon I settled in for a late-day pipe and, much to my dismay, discovered that this stuff is contaminated polluted gently imbued with Lakeland. I detect no rum. Nor do I taste any tobacco, although I know that it's in...

    Tooth Pulled, Pipe At Rest.

    A root canal from ten years ago failed recently, and I had to have the tooth pulled. My oral surgeon is very good and the process, although unpleasant, wasn't very painful. The painful part is knowing that pipe smoking and extraction wounds are not compatible. But how long will I have to...
