    Slowing Down For The Summer.

    Hey guys, I just wanted to let y'all know that I might not be around quite as much sure in the Summer months. There are several reasons really, but the big ones being that I just don't smoke quite as much in the heat and humidity of our Southern Summers! The other being that I usually don't...

    2014 Chattanooga Pipe Show......... Vendors?

    Any news on vendors for this years show? I know Uptowns was there last year, and had a good spread, along with several other retailers. Dave (Shaintiques) was there, the guys at Reddog Pipes, Scott Thile and more. I'm really looking forward to the show! Last year was a lot of fun, and I'm...

    Stanwell PAD, Made In Denmark!

    I just picked this one up at the B&M today! It's a Danish Made "Vario" (45). I've been very pleased with my Stanwells so far, and I'm sure this one will be a great smoker too!

    A Meerschaum Reborn... Before and After Pics.

    Ok guys, before I get to the pics, let me just say that I actually wanted more of a rustic, well used antiquated sort of look for this pipe. I think it turned out pretty much the way I had it in mind. This is also the first Meerschaum I've tried my hand at restoring. I first reamed the pipe...

    Before And After....Recent Restorations..... Very Pic Heavy!

    So here's a few I've been tinkering with in what little spare I've had lately. All of these pipes seem very well constructed, with excellent engineering. I've yet to find a fill on any of the smooth pipes! Here's a little Ehrlich billiard (no mod. #). I've had good luck with Ehrlichs in the...

    Mac Baren HH Latakia Flake..... First Impressions.

    I was sent a sample of this to try by another member (who shall remain anonymous), who received on of the very first tins to enter the country. Upon receiving, I was immediately impressed! The dark, rich appearance of these little flakes screams "Im GOOD, smoke me now!" The tin note pretty much...

    Refinishing A Meerschaum Pipe?

    As most of you know, I recently bought a smooth, straight Meerschaum billiard as an estate. The factory wax coating is dingy and coming off in places. I'm wanting to strip it off, and re-finish it. Has anyone ever done this before? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance...

    Well...... It Is, And Isn't A Barling! Before & After Pics.

    Well guys, I worked all night on this damn infernal mess of a pipe! It was pure HELL to clean! The previous owner evidently had no idea that pipe cleaners even exist! The stem was in BAD shape, and almost impossible to get an alcohol soaked bristled PC through it. Same with the shank, I had to...

    Antique Score.... Boys, I've Got My Work Cut Out For Me!

    Here's a few I picked up at the antique store today. Man, do they need some work! Also, if anybody has any info, or guesses for that matter on these pipes, I'd sure love to hear it! This Bulldog is really, really gunked up, but definitely savable. It's so gunked, the only thing I can make out...

    What Is Your LEAST Favorite Pipe?

    Do you have a pipe that you just can't seem to like no matter what? I do! It's this homely little Kaywoodie "Ruf-Tone" bent Dublin w/stinger. No matter what I smoke in it, or how I smoke it, it just doesn't smoke very well at all. I've had it for years, and have managed a couple of decent...

    PAD! New Stanwell Zebrano (Made In Denmark) Pics!

    I got this one out of layaway at the B&M today! This is my second Stanwell, and as you'll see, it's also my second Zebrano. The first one smokes so well, I thought I should get it's brother! The pipes are both very well made, with very open draws, and great clenchers. The first one I got...

    Briar Pistol Or Revolver Grips?

    Has anyone ever seen a set of briar pistol/revolver grips? I've had an idea in my head for a while now for a set of briar grips for my 1911 and S&W "N" Frame. I think for the 1911 (which is matte stainless) a set of black, ring grained, deep sandblasted grips would be awesome. As for the Mod...

    Cup O' Joes Tinned Tobaccos?

    Anybody ever tried any of Cup O' Joes tinned tobaccos? I just placed an order with them Friday, which includes 2 tins of their #5 Bigfoot Flake. I've never tried any of their blends before, but they sound pretty good. The #5 Bigfoot is described as a dark, straight Virginia flake, which sounds...

    Here's the place to tell us how much you've got, what you've got, post pics of your cellar and so forth! I'll post pics later, but I'll start off with telling y'all what I've got. Now keep in mind, I didn't start cellaring seriously, until about this time last year. In the years before that, I...

    Last Big TAD For A While.......Maybe!

    This month's TAD might be the last big one for a while. I've been hitting the TAD funds pretty hard here lately, and I think it's about time I slow down a little, at least for a couple months. That's the plan anyway, lol! I'm sure I'll manage to sneak the odd tin or two in here and there, but...

    All This Talk Of Sasienis, I Had To Get One!

    With all of these posts on Sasieni pipes here lately, I just had to have one! So, at the local B&M this morning I found this little beauty. It was the only Sasieni pipe there, and according to Melvin, it has been there for quite some time. Its a "Ruff Root Dark" #2. I have a couple of Old...
