They're Ba-ack!
Picked up the 4 Jesse Jones and 3 Sasieni pipes I had at Blue Room Briars for their yearly cleaning! Jesse did a fantastic job as usual! I left a couple more there since I have these to smoke again.- tschiraldi

Best Brown Flake #2
Well, I just tried my 1st ever Lakeland blend, G&H Best Brown Flake #2, in an old Jelling Dublin pipe. I've read so much about the Lakeland essence. It seems very polarizing. People seem to either love it or hate it. I've got to say, I just don't get it. I didn't love it. I didn't hate it. It...- tschiraldi

Sasieni Question
Okay, as many of you well know, I have a love for old Sasieni pipes. A friend of mine showed me one he had just picked up. It is a One Dot complete with fish logo, correct patent number, and all other correct markings. The stem is definitely original and the button, slot and tenon are right. So...- tschiraldi

My Pipes Are Gone!
Well, not all of them. It's that time of year again when I take my pipes to Blue Room Briars for cleaning. I'm on my way to see Jesse and Scott now. They offer free cleaning once a year for any pipe you get from them, and they do a great job, so it's a no brainer to take all my pipes to them. I...- tschiraldi

Hopefully Uneducated Ebay Seller
So, there is a pipe on Ebay listed as a RARE Sasieni Four Dot Old England 109 xs. I wrote to the seller who almost certainly has no idea as they sell a lot of different products. explained that there was no such thing and that the pipe in question was an Old England and NOT a Four Dot. I got no...- tschiraldi

Seeking Knowledge
There are very few pipe shapes / styles I haven't owned and smoked, however, I have never owned (or smoked) Canadian or Lovat, you know, pipes with long shanks and short bits. They always look heavy and unbalanced to me. It's odd, I guess, because I love Billiards. There is a Canadian pipe that...- tschiraldi

Christmas Codger
Okay, full disclosure. I love Christmas and I love Christmas music! I love many genres of music, from country to classic rock, to metal, jazz, blues, classical, swing, etc. I hate when an iconic song is remade! Nobody but Led Zeppelin should, by law, ever be able to perform or record Stairway to...- tschiraldi

Pulver's Help!
I want to buy a pipe from Marty, but there is no way I can see to purchase it! There is no "Buy" or "Add to cart", or... ANYTHING I can see. There isn't even a phone number or email! Anyone???- tschiraldi

Pipe Regrets
I'm not sure if this should be in the Pipe Talk forum, but the Country Squire podcast recently had an episode about pipe regrets, either paying too much for a pipe or getting rid of a pipe you wish you'd kept. This got me thinking, and I think it could be an interesting discussion. I have...- tschiraldi

Supply Issues 12/11/2020
My local B&M doesn't always have the tobacco blends I'm after, but I still make them my first stop. Even if I don't buy tobacco there, I always buy my other supplies from them, like pipe cleaners, Boveda packets, etc. When I went in the other day, they were out of pipe cleaners, Boveda...- tschiraldi

Sourcing Deer Tongue 12/5/2020
I know this has been asked here before, but I don't believe I've seen a definitive answer. Does anyone know of a source to purchase Deer Tongue? I love the stuff and want to be able to add it to blends. Crooner got me hooked, but I've noticed they appear to be using less of it in the blend...- tschiraldi

Beware Seller!
I was searching Sasieni pipes on Ebay and came across a seller (Goldenestategoods). He is offering 2 "Rare" Sasieni Four Dot pipes in terrible condition with replacement stems. Nowhere does he mention the replacement stems. I sent him a message regarding this. Waiting for a response now. With...- tschiraldi

Jesse Jones - Two Newest Came Home Today
I went to pick up my two newest commissions from Jesse Jones of site sponsor Blue Room Briars today. I think they turned out beautiful! The smooth was a touch shorter in length than I had hoped, but still, a gorgeous pipe. The ring grain on the Antique Blast is wonderful! This makes five Jones...- tschiraldi

Jesse Jones - A Long Time Coming
Back in February, I commissioned another pipe from Jesse Jones. We had actually started talking about it back in October of last year, but he had a long list of commissions to fill. I am working toward a 7 day set of Oval Shank Bent Brandies and did not yet have a smooth one. We decided on a...- tschiraldi

A Change Of Focus... And More Enjoyment (Warning! Long Post)
Over the past five years or so, my focus has been on collecting. The all too well known affliction of PAD has affected me as it has so many others. Literally hundreds of pipes have passed through my hands. Not wanting to use our "budget money" to support my hobby / passion, I began by buying...- tschiraldi

More Props For Ash!
About a month ago I bought a Sasieni One Dot from Ashdigger (Tim). This week I bought a nice 1964 Dunhill from him. When it arrived yesterday, I was surprised to find a beautiful pre-1980 Comoy's Sandblast included in the package! Both pipes are in fantastic shape! Ash, your generosity is...- tschiraldi

It IsTime To Decide
Collector or hobbyist / smoker? This year I have been fortunate enough to have acquired some old British pipes that, I believe, any serious collector would gladly add, namely two Sasieni One Dot Patents (one a "Specially Selected") and an unsmoked, NOS Sasieni Four Dot Walnut "Appleby". I have a...- tschiraldi

Loving The Tongue!
I finally got up the courage to try Deer Tongue in a blend. I started with C&D Crooner because I was told it's a fairly stout blend, but only contains a smidgen of Deer Tongue, so I thought it would be a nice toe dip into the leaf. I have to say, I love the stuff! I'm going to try Gentlemen...- tschiraldi
