    Vietnam Era Pipe (Help Identify)

    No apologies needed my friend. My reply was meant as a suggestion that the search continues, not that one answer is correct. I will say that this has been a fun rabbit hole. I have learned much about the classic American pipes by researching this in more depth. For example, I better...

    Vietnam Era Pipe (Help Identify)

    Thanks for the picture, Seldom. I have been looking (Googling) also. This pipe seems to be a good fit, but when I look closer, my Dad's pipes has a saddle-like stem and it does not appear to be a smooth taper like this one. I am starting to favor Dr. Grabow because they had stems like that.

    Vietnam Era Pipe (Help Identify)

    That is special that you have the actual pipe Sable. Out of curiosity, what does it look like? Any specific brand/shape, or is it a generic basket pipe?

    Atlanta Pipe Shops

    In summary, there are no real pipe-centric stores in Atlanta. That said, the Davidoff store in Buckhead does carry a nice selection of pipes, but only the standard Davidoff blends.

    HU Tobaccos

    FYI Follow Up. I ordered from Estervals the other day and the packaged cleared U.S. customs in 8 days. That is much improved from prior shipments. So I've now seen 3-4 weeks and also 1-2 weeks time frame. Moral of the story: Be patient, if you order they will come. But remember, while it's in...

    Love the Pipe, Hate the Stem?

    I have many Italian pipes (Castello) and almost all of them have horrible thick stems. They are great couch pipes, but definitely not good for clenching or lunting. I had to give up the fight and just live with it.

    He is doing great work. I love his vision. I will eventually do a commission with him for sure.

    About To Give Up On Non Aromatics

    Well there you have it. Have at it. Nothing wrong with aromatics. Hell, I tried for years to be a "Virginia" guy because I thought I was supposed to do that in order to be a true pipe smoker of distinction. Turns out I'm a "Burley" guy.
