    A Nice Trever Talbert Ligne Bretagne...

    ...just popped up on ebay. A pretty good deal I reckon. Lightweight and neat bowl shape. It took massive restraint on my part not to buy it, but I have other irons in the fire. Just thought I'd post it here in case someone may be interested! I don't think it will last too long...

    Evan Wiseman And The Epic AllBriar Pipe

    I say epic because the exercise unto itself is rather epic, that is, making a sandblasted monoblock allbriar pipe. I have a special thing about briar stemm'd pipes and have a small quiver of them, but I really really get big woody in regards to the all-one-piece monoblock allbriar --- it's a...

    Ryan Alden Made A Pipe And I Bought It

    ...and I forgot to take a pic with its pristine uncoated virgin bowl unmolested, because I immediately packed it full of Peterson's Perfect Plug and started chugging away, then suddenly remembered that I should snap a couple of shots at least, in memory of our white wedding, because baby, the...
