    Up and Coming Artisan Down Under

    Some of you may recall a while back I posted about a custom 4 space pipe rack my 5 year old daughter made for me. Well she’s gone and topped it this week. When I went to pick her up from her classroom, she proudly presented me this rocket ship looking contraption, and preceded to tell her...

    WAYS Pics

    The different approaches we have to contributing to the WAYS thread has always interested me. Some people use a picture of the pipe from when they purchased it, others take a selfie smoking. There are the accidental posts in other threads, or the thumbnail/upside down/multiple pictures when I’m...

    Who Smokes With Their Eyes Closed?

    Thread is pretty self explanatory I guess. However since most of my smoking is done while I’m doing something else - studying, gardening, pushing a pram, you get the drift - it’s not something I’ve ever really thought about.

    Grandma Outdid Herself

    Today I received a surprise belated birthday present from my grandma. An unsmoked meerschaum pipe that came with my great grandad’s family from Scotland when they migrated down under in the 30s. She included a nice letter that told me the history about the other pipe smokers in my heritage, a...

    Orlik Double COM Stamp

    The recent thread about a double stamped pipe inspired me to post pics of this Orlik deluxe. Maybe one of the history buffs could help here, but my understanding is that “London made” was used until the mid 70s when the factory was moved. “Made in England” was then stamped on Orlik pipes for...

    (Genuine) Questions for the Water Flushers

    I’m thinking about considering to start water flushing my briar pipes, maybe. To be honest, with a bowl or so a day and with it being predominantly homegrown leaf (so: very low case, no additives, a small breath through chamber to rehydrate once packed), time spent on maintenance is just not...

    Weird Pipe/Tobacco Related Dreams?

    Does the hobby invade anybody else’s dream life? Any strange or hilarious recollections Occasionally I’ll find myself smoking a sublime bowl in a dream, or wake up with that sinking feeling as i realise that the killer estate find wasn’t real. The weirdest by far was yesterday morning. I...

    Thoughts On Modifying The Finish Of A Peterson Rosslare Royal Irish Sanblast

    Lads, I recently got this pipe from our resident Santa @klause, it is probably my best smoking briar to date. The only thing that doesn’t tickle my fancy is the thick lacquer type finish of/over the blast. Just musing as to how one would go about removing some of this to let some of the briar...

    GH Sweet Coconut Twist Topping

    If you have some of this handy, so me a favour and take a whiff of the jar note. Am I the only one that gets a strong passion fruit smell off this?

    Anyone Heard of S.P.P Pipes?

    Seen an estate recently with some nice lines, but can’t for the life of me place it’s brand. the logo is S.P.P and is in an oval, marked on both the shank and stem in a fashion identical to the French SINA/GBD style. Any help?

    Next Up For Restoration

    Nabbed a couple of cheap estates this week. Here are two of them. Capitol Bruyere 623 - made by savinelli in the 1950s? Cool lil dog with a nice blast. Bewlay Apple, shape 322, line/grade “standard”. I’ve been after one of these for a while and really looking forward to cleaning this up. COM...

    Pipe-Weed In The Shire

    It’s been a while since he logged on but Isaac (@mortonbriar) wanted me to pass on a hello to the crew and he thought that you lot might be interested to see this pic. Judging from the size of it, I’d say it’s some “old toby” variety that he has growing outside his house. As you can see it...

    Water Flush 2.0?

    Peterson’s 312 6mm Mod

    A bit of fun. I had a 312 stummel lying around so I grabbed a plip stem from Vermont freehand that looked like it would fit the military mount. Fortunately for me, the plip bit is actually more like an orific button - my favourite. I bored out the stem so it can fit one of the 6mm x 37mm...

    Did Anyone Get Some Green?

    I keep forgetting to unsubscribe to SPCs newsletter now that I can’t buy from them anymore... Anyways, I just saw they had some 3year aged three nuns green go on sale today. Anyone stock up?

    Homegrown Burley

    This is straight homegrown burley from last season. I air cured it and then removed stems before rolling into loose sausages and packed away in jars for 8months (I didn’t have a kiln). I then added equal weight of water to tobacco to each jar and then placed in slow cooker for a day on low -...
