    Travel Case

    Al, those are great cases! Thanks for sharing. They are similar to what I was showing, but at $20, that is a great option for pipe case for briefcase. What is the name of those cases? Do you have a link?

    Travel Case

    Now that is a requirement I understand well. In this specific instance, look for a compact 2-pipe hard shell case. Many people here know that I love the Castello Opera 44 pipes, but few know that one of the main reasons I love them is because the oval shaped stummel allows for very easy packing...

    Travel Case

    IMHO, there is not an all encompassing system. You will end up needing different cases and bags for different events. I have lots of cases, from 2-pipe to 4-pipe and I also have a few different bags, from 4-pipe to 8-pipe. I use them all but for different reasons.

    Meerschaum Gurus - Help A Guy Out

    You guys nailed it. Some shots of the mortise and tenon extraction. Easy! I was amazed at all the gunk behind the tenon. Normally I keep my pipes pretty clean, but this shows proof that sometimes it's good to change out these plastic mortise/tenon systems on Meerschaum pipes. I will post...

    Meerschaum Gurus - Help A Guy Out

    Meerschaum Gurus - Help A Guy Out

    I need help with this Meerschaum pipe. It is a vintage CAO Meerschaum by Ismet Bekler. I purchased it unsmoked and in pristine condition about 4 years ago. It was smoked regularly for a while, but it's been a drawer for over 2 years because I don't smoke Meerschaum often, eventually I kind of...

    sweet drinks and pipe smoke.

    I very often drink Fanta Pineapple with my pipe, especially in hot weather. It pairs very well with tobacco.

    Tax Warning

    In addition, the EU is now required to report online tax on imported products, including pipes and tobacco. This has already had a major impact within the past year, notably via the Danish Pipe Shop and their policy change toward exporting tobacco. Not only do these reporting requirements effect...

    4th Generation Family Reserve Dry As A Bone In The Desert

    Now that makes sense. I better understand your frustration now. Yeah, that sounds like a bad interaction all around. Thanks for clarifying, I had trouble following the post at first. And I hear what you are saying about customer loyalty, having spent much money with them.
