    Oxygen Just As Dangerous As Tobacco!

    Next time someone starts going on about how bad tobacco is for you, I'm going to show them this! nana

    What'yd You Get For Father's Day?

    My wife picked the pipe, and I picked the tobacco. I sold my only Morta pipe about a year ago as its bowl didn't work for me. I've been looking for another one that I could afford, and this popped up on ebay, unused and selling for half the price of a new one. It's stamped Turkiewicz, and is...

    Barling Guinea Grain

    I've been looking at this pipe on Marty Pulvers site for almost a year, and finally decided to buy it. I'm sure it hung around so long because it's a post transition pipe. But man, once I got it the grain on it is really amazing. The pipe has obviously been smoked a bit, but the stem looks like...

    Happy Earth Day! 50th Anniversary

    I know we are more focused on other things right now, but if you look around the world and see the difference only 3 months of humans sheltering inside makes, it is truly amazing! The reduction of air and water pollution is remarkable. Finally, the earth catches a break. Took a walk over to...

    E. Oslo Pipe

    Anyone familiar with these pipes? I got this off ebay and it appears that these were entry level pipes made by Micoli (Michael "Mic" Burns), that were made from pipes that he got from British or Italian pipe makers, and then added his unique carving to them. I had a Micoli pipe that I bought new...

    Any Fans of M.C. Escher's Art? Here's a Car He Designed.

    Probably made by the Yugo Factory, and produced after he passed away in 1972. Why yes, I am full of B.S. Thanks for asking! ?:LOL:

    Here's Something Sort of Like a CustomBilt Pipe.

    I know CustomBilt pipes have a lot of fans. I've never been attracted to them for the most part, mainly because I never found the carving particularly attractive, nor did I like the chunky squat style of most of the pipes. I've seen some of them that were more to my liking, but never tried to...

    I Was Weak, I Had to Have One Of Fishbanjo's Pipes!

    Sante had an amazing pipe collection, and sadly he passed away a few weeks ago. When his pipes started to show up on ebay, I figured I'd like to see if I could get one. I knew it wasn't going to be one of the many, many high end artisan pipes he had. I Got lucky I guess, one of the first pipes...

    Nice Old Pipe, But What Is It?

    Found this little interesting pipe at a local antique store for $5. I can't seem to find any markings on it other than what looks like an oval on the bottom of the bowl. Really nice sandblast with a rather thin bowl, so I'm thinking it will smoke a little hot if I'm not careful. I can't help but...

    Went To a Gun Show and Bought a Pipe.

    A couple of weeks ago my neighbor asked if I wanted to go to a gun show. I hadn't been to a gun show in over 30 years, so I said why not? I know there's some controversy about buying guns at shows now more than before, but here in Mississippi it seemed like business as usual. Now you see more...

    Corn Cob Tuesday?

    I've heard this expression a few times in the last couple of years, but I have no idea what it means. Anyone have any info in this?

    Got a Little Pipe In Honor of the Passing of Butz Choquin.

    I've had some BC pipes in the past but always seemed to pass them on. Nothing wrong with them, I just got bored with them. I felt bad when I heard of BC going out of business though. They've been around a long time, and as I didn't currently have one of their pipes, I thought I would find an...

    Famous Photographer and Pipe Smoker Robert Frank - RIP

    One of my favorite photographers of all time, whose book "The Americans" was also one of my favorite photo books, has passed away. Robert Frank redefined photography in many ways in his life time. There was one thing I never knew about him however... he was a pipe smoker! Now I admire him even...

    GBD Granitan, Yay or Nay?

    I've always been intrigued by the finish on these pipes. A novel idea, sandblast the pipe, then sand it down to almost smooth. Why? I don't know, but I like the looks though, makes the pipe look like its had years of loving wear and use. I finally found one I liked at a reasonable price with a...

    How Many of You Like Silver Trim on Pipes?

    More and more I'm drawn to silver trim on pipes, regardless if it's original or for a repair. I don't like a lot of silver, but one or two pieces of silver trim. Real silver not aluminum, not nickel, although nickel can look nice too. I've sold some pipes that had silver on them because I wasn't...

    Not Another Devil Anse Pipe!

    Yup, so far the only Devil Anse style pipe I've had is the MM cob version, which isn't a bad pipe at all, but just doesn't give the same feeling as a briar would. There's plenty of these pipes out there to choose from, but I decided to make my own, sort of. I came across a small canted egg...

    Another Chinese Pipe? Oom Paul

    A couple of years ago I bought a pipe from an ebay seller that sells pipes from China under the name of Road Town. I thought it was cool looking, and it seemed to be well made, and lo and behold after removing the bowl coating it smokes just fine. Recently I've been looking for an Oom Paul style...

    So Who Made This Pipe?

    I guess I'm known as the guy who buys oddball pipes, and it's true as I like a lot of different things, pipes being foremost at the present time. I loved the look of this pipe when I saw it and it was not expensive at all. I tried to do some research before I bought it, but all I could find is...

    Vottis Pipe, It's a Strange One! Pic Heavy

    I recently bought a lot of 4 pipes, one of which is this pipe. Never heard of it before, but apparently it was made by Pat M. Vottis of Schenectady NY. I guess he made pipes from the 40s to the 70s. Not a lot of info about him. This pipe though is a strange design to start with, but as I looked...
