    Couldn't Help Myself...

    I was not going to get another meer as i am satisfied with my current selection, however, the simple act of looking around the pipe market is the bane of any pipe fan. I happened across this cherrywood shape by Ali and the price was in a decent range with an "or best offer" option, so i figured...

    IPSD PAD: Peterson Newgrange Spigot

    I've been eyeing a few Petes for a couple months now. Digging the spigots and considered a system pipe, but wasn't sure about the P-lip and not into the vulcanite stem. So today i figured i'd check some sale prices since it's IPSD and all. Low and behold, Smokingpipes came through. I...

    Fatih Freehand Self-Imposed B'day Meer.

    In my quest, as always, to justify another pipe purchase I decided -- on my recently passed birthday -- to peruse the net and came across this unique piece from a carver named Fatih. I got this through Pipes Depot and have bought from them a few times now with satisfying results...

    New (to me) SMS via MBSD

    This is the last new one! (Reciting the mantra to myself.) I justified these last few meers due to the fact that my birthday is in a couple days. Easy way to trigger "taking a quick peek on the market and maybe grabbing something, if the right deal presents itself." And, of course it did...

    Another Day Another Brand: M. Cinar Meerschaum

    Another one hits the porch today. First time trying a Cinar meer. Quite happy with this one as well. Nice deep carving, perfect light weight for clinching and a convenient smaller bowl for a shorter smoke. These smaller pipes take the place of the cigarillos i used to smoke in mass. ;) I...

    Trying Out an H. Ege Meer...

    Saw this carver and thought i'd give one a try. Really liked the design and style of this hammer. Opening it up today i was pleasantly surprised to find the bottom part of the bowl is completely solid meerschaum. The bowl does not extend past the shank, so it's nice and hefty. Great hand...

    Tampa Sweethearts Visit...and Then Some.

    Title edited for capitalization Rule 9. I thought you got married to an old GF who was visiting Tampa! Made the journey back to Tampa today, since after felling a rotten tree on the property this morning i had the rest of the day off. Decided to make the run on a weekday because the last trip...

    New Favorites for 2024?

    This year has been a year of new exploration for me after many years of having my set-in-stone go-to's and special hard-to-find favorites stocked away for nearly a couple decades. I delved deeper into the oriental genre and found some new favorites from my already esteemed burley and VA styles...

    MBSD PAD slip up.

    Whilst being tempted by the fit and finish of this Radice Rind, my finger slipped on the trigger and then this showed up today along with a TAD run from McCrainies and The Country Squire: Looks like i've got some "work" to do. I'm never one to shy away from what needs to be done...

    Praise for Peretti

    I have to give praise where praise is due. Today I had a notable experience with the folks at LJ Peretti's customer service which deserves to be shared. After placing an online order earlier this morning I later realized I had forgotten to add a few ounces of 111 to my order and called to see...

    Another fraudulent tobacco site...methinks.

    Was sniffing around for some Cobblestone Hiking tins (shipable to WA, which comes with it's unique challenge) and stumbled upon a "deal" too good to be true. And a website with a familiar ring came up on google search. Sale prices on everything, including the Hiking tins @ $7.70. Checked a...

    Had to Do it... (Another Savinelli - PAD)

    So, in the spirit of venturing out and trying new things again, I did the unthinkable and looked at a few pipes being offered up online. "Much safer to just admire the ones in the What Are You Smoking Thread here," i've told myself again and again. But alas, reason and logic oft get lost in...

    Totally Rad (Davis)

    Any Rad Davis fans out there? I acquired a couple of his pipes years ago while he was still active in the pipe making world and have always admired the quality of his craftsmanship. Whenever one of these comes up for sale somewhere my trigger finger gets a wee bit itchy. Might just snag...

    Favorite Home Blend Recipes?

    I tend to make large jars of home blends when there are several tobaccos of a certain ilk that I just don't tend to reach for often enough and mix in other bulk blending components to add whatever might be missing from the batch, once blended. The goal is to take several uninteresting (to me)...

    An Ode To Pipepiphany...

    Last night, whilst pondering which pipe and baccy to fetch after work, I remembered an old favorite which hadn't been visited in a while. I dug into the cellar and produced a jar from the days of yore. An exemplary specimen of any burley lover's dreams: the infamous Edgeworth Sliced. There...
