    Have a Knife You Need Sharpened?

    As a courtesy to my forum brethren, if anyone has a knife (pocket, edc, hunting, kitchen) that has gone dull and needs a shiny new edge feel free to send it to me. I'm offering this service free of charge, aside from shipping costs to send it back to you. I can also change edge geometry. I...

    My Scottie Piersel Commission

    A recent interest in pencil shanks coupled with posts showing off other members Piersel pipes lead me to a search for one of my own. There was one at Smokers Haven I liked and I sent Scottie an email with a question. It didn't take long for her to make it abundantly clear the timing was right...

    Pipe-centric Podcasts?

    Aside from the Pipes Magazine show and the Country Squire show (which I'm not big on), are there any others out there? I think a radio show that took call-ins would be fun - especially if you had pipe and tobacco personalities on to field questions.

    In Need of a Portable Tobacco Tray/Plate Thing

    I'd really like to find a wooden or light metal tray/bowl/plate that I can take along with me on a daily basis. If it fits in my pipe purse, even better. I've seen some wooden platters on Web retailers but they're always sold out. Anyone have some leads? 5x3 or thereabouts would be good...

    Allergic to Royal Yacht?

    I'm about 3/4 through a tin of the venerable Yacht. I like it. I like the flavor and the smok ability, and of course I like the nic-hit. The past 2 times I've smoked a bowl however, I've had tingling in my throat and chronic fits of sneezing. Could be other atmospheric variables at work too...

    Konstantinos Anastasopolous Rusticated Lovat

    Specs: 6" long, .8oz in weight. Chamber Width - .75", Chamber Depth - 1.5" So, at 6" long it's plenty of pipe for most people (me included) but the other specs are nothing shy of dainty. The tight nodules of rustication add a masculine feel though, and the ebonite stem is remarkable feeling...

    The Mysterious P Holtorp

    I've recently discovered the Danish pipe maker P Holtorp and I like a lot of his designs, particularly his freehand style. I picked up an estate Pear that I thought was quite unique and cool (smokes damn good too). Now, despite having a page on pipedia.org, I can't seem to find Mr.Holtorps first...

    Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Bosun Cut Plug Unscented

    Smoking a GBD Colossus Virgin lumberman. I was a kretek smoker for many years so I submitted a search for "clove" on Smokingpipes.com. The only result was this.. G&H Bosun Cut Plug "unscented". As it was only available in bulk I decided to try an ounce. Couple days later it arrived and my...

    Any L'Anatra fans?

    Recently scored a Gigante series 2 Egg tomato. Terrific birdseye up and down both sides of the wide, squashed shank. ...and who wouldn't want a happy duck head staring at you while smoking? I'm really digging the extra wide bit too. Seems to be drilled extra wide too..smokes like a Castello...

    Two Firsts For Me This Morning

    Lovely morn we have here in the Derby City. To fully relish it, I'm indulging in a couple new experiences.. First, I'm using my new Peterson System Deluxe (11S). I'm a sucker for birdseye grain so I just had to have the Deluxe series for my 1st system pipe. I'm loving the P-Lip button. I know...

    Dunhill experts? Knowledge needed.

    Ok so I was in a local B&M yesterday looking for a Group 1/2 for quicker smokes when I'm at work. There were a couple in the case that looked to fit the bill so I had the man pull them out for closer inspection. The one that immediately drew my attention was a Group 1, dark sandblasted...

    Anyone have a GBD Prehistoric Poker?

    A local antique shops has a 60's GBD Prehistoric Poker. It includes original box and cloth. It's certainly been smoked but doesn't appear to have been abused. Their asking price isn't bad, and I think it would make a decent restoration project for me. Does anyone have one of these guys in good...

    Vauen "pen click" Tamper

    Anyone else have one of these? I needed a new tamper for my pipe bag and this one had good reviews on Smokingpipes.. Got it a few days ago and I'm really loving it. I'm not sure how it works exactly but it WORKS. The actual tamper part reminds me of an old school radio antenna. The removable...
