    Nice Birthday Pipe, Thanks to Forum Member

    For some reason this pipe wasn't snatched up by another forum member after about 2 mo. So Pat (catyrpelius) sold it to me for a very nice price. And, he sent me a fine tin of OGS! Thank you Pat! Oh, and it was unsmoked too! I know that a lot of folks like the Morgan Bones pipes, and they are...

    Tinder Box Unique, Charatan Second? When Made?

    I've had one Charatan pipe about 25 years ago, and ended up selling it because I just didn't like the shape. About a year ago I had heard that the Unique by Tinder Box was made by Charatan. If this is true, are they seconds, or just house pipes made specifically for Tinder Box? As for the time...

    Lacy Shroom

    No it's not the name of a stripper, but I suppose it could be. Nor is it anything related to pipe smoking. But I thought it was an interesting mushroom or toadstool or what ever. It is not a flower though. I've never seen one before, but while out walking I noticed a few around underneath a...

    Remember Dr. Peterson Sherlock Holmes Pipe?

    I know it's been a few months, but I finally got a new stem made for this pipe. Made from one of those cheap vulcanite cast blanks. I have no stem tools, no tenon turning tool, so I can highly recommend that you DON'T try this like I did. Lots of fooling around and general misery, but...

    Is There a Way to Date Erinmore Tins?

    After not having any of this blend for a couple of years, I decided to get a few tins. One I was going to bake, and the others I'll cellar. I've included a photo of the back label to see if any of the numbers there are a code for dating the tins. Anyone have any ideas? By the way the label says...

    Ho Hum... Another Oddball Pipe

    I guess that my main function in life now is finding inexpensive pipes that are a little out of the norm. Whether they have no name, no country, unknown name, or different styling, I seem to be on a quest for the different. This pipe is odd first because of the stamping. Erica Sandroc, Styled by...

    Nice Canted Billiard Stack - Made by Charatan?

    Saw this on eBay and it caught my eye. A fairly sizable pipe, nice grain, but only stamped Selected Collection, London England. I couldn't find much about it but found a few other pipes stamped like that in my search. A couple of them (smokingpipes) accredited Charatan as the maker. I've never...

    Anthony Bourdain RIP

    It was a sad thing to read that Anthony Bourdain apparently took his own life. My wife and I really enjoyed his TV programs, No Reservations and Parts Unknown, that explored the food and lifestyles from other countries. I've read a couple of his books in the past and they took on some...

    The "Dry Pipe Restoration Challenge" - Post Here - Someone, Anyone? Pics

    So, I went to ALL the trouble of finding a pipe for this challenge, so I'm going to post it! I know this may have been doomed from the get go, but I found a really funny pipe and couldn't resist it. Truly an Artisanal pipe! Stamped artistically on the bottom (with a pencil) Made 7-24-60 by Jeff...

    Dr. Peterson, Sherlock Holmes Pipe - PICS

    Another of my kinda goofy pipe projects. Saw this Peterson on eBay and got it for $8.50. Not sure it was even worth that, but I like the challenge of trying to restore really messed up pipes. The Dr. Peterson title is because it came with a Dr. Grabow Omega stem. The pipe is a Sherlock Holmes...

    Peterson Rosslare with Odd Stamping

    After lusting after this pipe for a couple of years, I finally pulled the trigger and picked up this estate pipe. I mean there always seemed to be something else I wanted, but lately the pull for this pipe came back. I'm not a huge Peterson fan and I do have a few, but never one of the newer...

    Oops, I Did It Again... With an Ashton - PICS

    Here we go again with my latest crazy pipe transformation. I just can't help myself I guess. First it was the Dunhill Cob, and now an Ashton Pebble Grain Cob. Picked up the shank and stem on eBay for $20 from a pipe that had a badly burned out bowl, then I ordered a new MM Mark Twain. This...

    Old Kaywoodie With No Stampings and Odd Repair (pics)

    For your perusal here's an interesting old Kaywoodie that raises some interesting questions. I came across this old Kaywoodie in an antique shop that looked pretty old, but had no stampings. I looked closer and saw that the shank had been replaced for some reason, and it seemed to be rather...

    Going To the Extreme in Generosity! Thanks Dave!

    Forum member Dave (weezell) evidently came across a thread I started about a year ago about where to buy Revor Plug. I eventually gave up trying, and totally forgot about it. So he reached out to me recently to say he would gladly send me a sample. It came in the mail today and this is what he...

    Alienist Anyone?

    I read the book that this new TV series is based on quite a few years ago, and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I've been looking forward to this show. Saw the first episode last night and liked the whole feel of the show. Yeah, it's a dark story, so it fills the void until Taboo comes back. Nicely...

    Dan Gurney RIP

    Dan Gurney was one of America's great race car drivers and innovators. Saw him race his F1 Eagle in '68 and '69 at Watkins Glen Grand Prix. Always a gentleman.

    What's This Pipe Worth, And Why?

    I saw this pipe for auction on eBay and can't quite figure out it's value. I don't find it particularly interesting or even that good looking, but it's currently at $355. Ok, I know that it's an actual Anne Julie pipe, but would it be gaining that much interest if it was stamped Jarl or made...

    Bringing in The New Year With a Little Tobacco and Pipe FromThe Country Squire

    Decided to bring in the new year with some McClellands 5100 red cake and pipe from the Country Squire. I love this tobacco and the house brand pipe is a nice pipe to enjoy it in. Happy New Year to all here on the forum! PS: I'm a little drunk...

    My New Years Pipe - Old Comoy's 157

    Yeah, I got a nice pipe for Christmas, but I couldn't resist this little cute Comoy's shape 157. So I'm calling it my New Years pipe. I'm not familiar with this shape, and it's rather small maybe about a group 3 and a little over 5 inches. It was in rough shape and had a shank crack repaired...
