Do I Have Any Friends in Chicago?
Just curious, as I'm not sure where everybody is from---I had a question I'd like to ask of someone who lives in the Chicago area. Yes, it's pipe related.- greeneyes

Early Les Wood 'Tudor Root' Pipe
A resale business out in Lake Elsinore, California, recently posted this pipe as part of a lot purchased as an "asset sale" after a pipe shop in Southern California closed down. I searched the nomenclature but couldn't quite find a match to Les Wood's Ferndown "Tudor Root" as the Ferndown stamp...- greeneyes

Identification Help: Wing Commander Pipes
Evening all. I recently received a shipment of several UK 'basket pipes' and about sixty percent of them are brands that I've never heard of and that don't appear during the usual internet searches. I was wondering if anyone had ever heard of this pipe--"Wing Commander/London Made"--and might... -
The 'Stiff Pipe' - Publicity Stunt? Design School Project?
I came across this pipe on eBay, selling for $900 - $1300. Apparently it's a plastic pipe with a briar insert. It appears to have been designed and possibly made in Sweden back in 2013, and hyped on ... merchandise hyping sites like "Uncrate" and "Gearmoose." Has anyone ever heard of this... -
Esterval's Order Near Miss!
I placed an order online at Esterval's exactly 28 days ago. Naturally I've been following the progress of the package with the tracking number. The only update I got was that it appeared at the Frankfurt Airport, 10 days after being sent out. Then suddenly yesterday (May 25th) it appears at...- greeneyes

Delays With Peretti 150th Anniversary Flake
Many of you ordered some of the new Peretti 150th Anniversary Flake promptly last Friday when it was released. I noticed my credit card hadn't been charged for a week now so I called up to see if everything is okay with my order. Just wanted to let anyone know who may have placed an order for...- greeneyes

Questions Re: Old Lane Ltd. 'Crown Achievement'
I don't know much about 'Crown Achievement,' except that it was created by Hermann Lane and that it's being discontinued. Someone was selling an old tin of it from their grandfather's attic so I thought I'd pick it up; it was a fairly low price and I figured I'd get around to trying it some day...- greeneyes

Linkman's Dr. Grabow (1933-37)
Like many of you who are stuck at home, I've been doing a bit of organizing and getting back to doing some pipe restorations that I otherwise wouldn't have much time for. I'll sometimes buy a "lot" of many pipes because I'm interested in one of them, without much regard for whatever else might... -
Resurrected Pipe - 'Warranted Genuine French Briar'
Approximately one year ago my wife and I were browsing antiques in a nearby town. I often come across pipes without stems and weigh the "cost-benefit" of having said pipe properly re-stemmed. I came across this beautiful stummel in its case and although I didn't have a provision for its proper... -
Might the Crosby "Golf Course" Pipes Be Merchant Service Products?
I hadn't been particularly aware of Bing Crosby's preference for Merchant Service pipes. I learned a little more after following the information that was posted just today regarding the "new" Merchant Service pipes [1]. I was aware that there was a particular style of pipe Crosby enjoyed, and... -
The New Peterson (Old Dunhill) Tobaccos Deleted from the Dunhill Tobaccoreviews Folder?
(To preface: please pardon me if this has been noted elsewhere--I searched and couldn't find it) I was searching for some information about a particular Dunhill mixture in Tobaccoreviews when I noticed it had disappeared. Royal Yacht (for example) has been deleted from the Dunhill folder at...- greeneyes

Rattray's Hal O' The Wynd (Original)
I was fortunate to find a tin of Hal O' The Wynd, blended "by Charles Rattray at Perth Scotland." My guess is that since it was a pull-top, and not a cutter-top tin, it was likely from the late 70s to the late 80s, between the time that pull-tops became widespread and when Rattray ceased...- greeneyes

Original Rattray's Pipes
About a month ago I finally had the opportunity to realize one of my dreams as a collector of old UK pipes. These three beautiful Rattray's pipes, original shop-branded from the shop in Perth, Scotland, appeared on eBay. These don't make too many appearances--the last time I saw one was... -
Wesley's of South Africa?
Anyone here from South Africa? Do you know if Wesley's is still in business? I've been trying to email the mail order operation to order some of their 'houseblends' to try but I seem to get no response from their central email, nor any response from the Facebook pages of their franchises with...- greeneyes

Help Identifying the Maker of This Pipe
Well I looked and looked but I just can't seem to find what Pipemaker's marks these correspond to. Perhaps one of you knows? I feel like it must be a contemporary (relatively) American Pipemaker because of the relatively new condition of the pipe and the fact that it has no "made in [country]"...
