    Ruminationally Ruminationifying Ruminations in a Ruminatory Manner

    . Hmmm... this will require some thought. I'll have to get back to you. .

    This Could Explain Why Some Bent Pipes are "Mysteriously Bad" Smokers

    This Dunhill had a snapped off tenon that required replacement. After drilling the "false mortise" to receive the Delrin insert, I was surprised to see a large blob of crud/fuzz/gunk still in the airway, just past the bottom of the drilled hole. I'd cleaned the airway with an alcohol-dipped...

    Tobacco Tastes Like...

    ...giant bug-covered fuzzy weeds that grew in mud and dirt that somebody cut down, took to a barn, and dried into papery sheets. Then (sometimes) even saturated with smoke or packed into barrels... and left there for years. To rot. MMMMmmmmmmmm... :) :) :)

    Anyone Here Ship Me a Pipe From College Station, TX?

    I received an unexpected box from someone who didn't supply their name or address beyond the city and zip code. I have no memory of discussing the pipe beforehand via PM, email, or phone, and have searched those things via computer as well. No bueno. Not sure what to do beyond put it on a...

    Time Machine Restaurant (Not a Roadside Attraction or Gimmick... The Real Thing)

    Still allows smoking. The outdoor sign is original and hasn't been re-painted since (probably) the 1950's. Sill has waitresses who use a paper pad. Check out the food pics. If this was near me I'd probably be a regular...

    Huge Flavor + Lots of Vitamin N

    For stong smoke lovers: Get some GH&Co Kendal Kentucky (it's a coarse shag) and some Brown Bogie (it's a rope). Slice the rope with a SHARP chef's knife into coins the same width as the KK. "Un do" the coins with your fingers and "fluff" the strands until fully separated. Spread out and let...

    When Peterson's Is On Their Game, You Get This

    Because my fussiness and perfectionism wouldn't seem a match with Peterson's reputation for meh quality control in recent years, some people are surprised when I say that my favorite rack of pipes are Petes. How can that be? Because their best work is excellent indeed. [Proof attached] Why...

    High-End Wrist Watches - Do They Improve the Time Telling Experience?

    Hm. When a $50 electronic watch is more accurate than a $200,000 hand made mechanical one, the answer would have to be no. The market for high-end watches is several orders of magnitude larger than it is for pipes, though. And cars. Does a $2,000,000 Bugatti retrieve groceries better than a...

    PSA: DO NOT Buff Stems That are Off the Stummel

    It has been repeated endlessly for decades, but somehow there are always a few people who either don't get the message or think they can "get away with it." The attached pic is of a pipe that was worth thousands of dollars. One of the most collectable makers in the world. (How much it's worth...

    Massive Ivarsson Repair

    Some pipes you simply replace, some you fix if it's not a big deal, and some you fix if it's possible. This is one of the latter. The situation is obvious in the first photo. Broken shank, used-up stem. Anyone interested in a full set of pics they can be found on the Pipemakers Forum...

    Now THIS is interesting: Peterson Has a New Blasting Process

    I can't figure out how to get the following to display as a quote. Be assured it's a cut & paste, though. An email I received from Smokingpipes. (i.e. their words, not mine) Mods, if doing this is a no-no, get mad at me, not Smokingpipes, OK...

    My Favorite Pipe is a Hybrid

    The mini-magnum Dunhill that board member guylesss rescued from oblivion a few weeks ago got me to thinking about which specimen I'd probably part with last, if forced to sell off my collection one by one. It turned out to be something a bit strange. No longer a brand or specific model, but...
