    F1 2025 🏎️

    Exciting finish in the midfield. Max should get a 10 grid place grid penalty in Canada for his on track outburst

    I’ve seen what’s hidden under cake and will never attempt to find bare wood again.

    Thanks for hosting! I enjoyed it!

    Alternative to Paragon and Halcyon Waxes

    No, the thing is finding something that doesn’t collect in the crevices of sandblasted and rusticated pipes. I’ve spent way too much time trying to clean out the wrong wax out with a toothpick.

    There's More To Hacker Than You May Know

    RCH was my introduction to the hobby. I had no idea that pipes were collectible before a tobacconist handed me the a new book called The Ultimate Pipe Book that had just arrived. I had a letter out to Tom Dunn of the Pipe Smokers Ephemeris a few days later.

    Date My Pipe, Please

    I think clues to age are in the mustache.

    Show Off Your Pipe Tamper Here

    I’ve enjoyed collecting tampers about as long as I’ve collected pipes. I’ve got a few solid collections that I’ve spent way too much money on but I still buy more.

    The Pipe I Most Want To Buy

    Have you been in touch with @PipeCat Fae at Tobacco Treasures? I assume you have searches worded several ways on eBay. Good Luck! Hunting pipes is lots of fun!

    Show Off Your Castello Pipes Here!

    Thanks! The photo captured the blast better than it looks in real life but I love the lines, proportions and the silver band. It was a must have addition to the collection.

    Show Off Your Castello Pipes Here!

    I'm Enjoying Seeing Some Great Looking Wood! The Latest 2025 Castello acquisitions to my G, GG, GGG15 collection. The Old Antiquari with the silver band was a must have pipe that was made possible by @Sigmund. The seller wouldn't ship to my location but @Sigmund did me a big favor and took...

    Pipe Collection Succession Planning

    I’ve gotten as far as telling mrslax that all the pipes have a sleeve and box and that these shelves have the valuable tobacco. I’m sure it went in one ear and out the other.

    End Tobacco Loopholes Act (United States)

    I’m surprised we can still mail order tobacco and that big tobacco didn’t go after tax parity with RYO “pipe tobacco” long ago. The only thing that went away fast were the commercial high speed rollers that smoke shops had for a short time.

    End Tobacco Loopholes Act (United States)

    I don’t know if he was technically a lobbyists but Paul Creasy who was in charge of the Richmond operation for Altadis spent a lot of time lobby in Washington.

    Magician Fernando Keops on Radio Show of May 13, 2025

    Definitely a unique character in the hobby! I first encountered him at a New York Pipe Show in Newark years ago and now call him a friend!

    JR Cigar Catalogs!

    He was a guest a few times on Kiss My Ash Radio Podcast years ago. They were a great listen. Loved the catalogs and going into his shops. Cut rate cigars next to pots, pans and aftershave.

    What's Your Favorite Current Factory Model Straight Billiard?

    I’m definitely a Dunhill fan but I’m going to say Castello Shape 15 billiard. It’s a wide ranging shape with an even wider range of size, style and finish options. I’ve actively collected the 15 for years and don’t have two identical pipes. Check out my daveinlax instagram page for pictures of...
