Anything That Eliminates Odor from Pipes Sitting Out?
So I’m building up my collection of pipes and I bought stands to display them on. I live in a one bedroom apartment with my girlfriend, and she recently commented “it’s starting to smell like tobacco in here”. UH OH. I had them sitting out for maybe 2 days. I want to display my pipes and not...- mtwaller

Heat Shrink Tubing - An Alternative To Softy Bits?
As the title suggests, I'm curious if clear heat shrink tubing could be used as a viable alternative to traditional soft bits. I just purchased a pipe with a yellow/amber colored acrylic stem and a black soft bit would completely destroy the aesthetic of the pipe. I'm thinking something with an...- mtwaller

Hand Making Labels for My Cellar - Just Because!
Thought I'd share some labels I've been making for my cellar jars. I dabbled in calligraphy a couple of years ago and I've been wanting to pick it back up. These labels are the perfect excuse to combine two things I enjoy. They're not technically sound or "correct" in their proportions, but...- mtwaller

Anybody else ordered from Pipe Divan (James Fox) before?
So I’ve been itching to buy another pipe pretty bad lately. I love Peterson’s, and I only have one currently so I thought I’d purchase another. After sleuthing around for weeks online at all of the major online sites, I stumbled upon Pipe Divan. I’m shocked at how cheap their prices are! I... -
Goodwill Tobacco Cellar Find
I’ve been looking for a good way to organize my pipes and tobaccos (not that I have very many yet) and I came across this shadow box at Goodwill for $15! Each cubby holds 4 half pint jars of tobacco, and the drawers are great for storing accessories. Eventually I’m going to buy a pipe rack to...- mtwaller

Finally Bought Some C&D Blends - Any Good, Bad, or Ugly Opinions?
I pulled the trigger on 3 Cornell and Diehl blends online, having never tried a one of them. I must admit I’m damn excited about them, though. I’m a new pipe smoker but I’ve fallen in love with it mainly thanks to my trusty little Peterson System Standard 313 and some Plum Pudding that’s been...- mtwaller

First estate pipe purchase - good quality pipe or not?
So I bought this - my first estate pipe. The Barling Garnet Grain 5119, supposedly from the 60's-70's. Second pipe ever, I've only had my other Peterson System Standard 313 for about 2 months. I'm wondering if this is a decent quality pipe and a good buy or not? The grain was so gorgeous and... -
Breaking in New Pipe - Too Late to Switch to a Different Tobacco?
*Apologies if this has been covered in another thread* I’m a brand new pipe smoker, I bought myself my first pipe a couple weeks ago (A lovely little Peterson System Standard 313). I researched some tobaccos before buying any and as I typically LOVE anything strong cherry flavored, I obviously...- mtwaller
