    Chicago Pipe Show 2023 Report by James Foster

    Super kudos to James for winning the Master of Pipes Award! His contributions to our hobby over the years - such as his great illustrated Chicago Pipe Show report here, were major factors in his selection. Keep up the great work James, and thank you! Steve

    THE Chicago Pipe Show — Battle of the Briar, Pt 1

    Thanks for the comments Papamique and all of the other contributors to this thread. And I know that I worked hard over the several days of preparation. Yes sir, it was tough chugging down those huge slices of Chicago pizza in order to stay out of the way of all those young strong guys who were...

    Old Toby - McClelland

    Sorry to be late to the party. Been a crazy week getting ready for the Chicago Trip. And no, I never thought to ask McNiel what was in it. At my age I have trouble remembering yesterday, and since I was still running a manual rather than ecommerce website back in 2015, I couldn't check to see...

    Query on Pipe Smoking

    Let's see, been smoking a pipe daily for over 50-years. I did have tongue bite so bad when I first started that the doctor had to put my tongue in a sling for a couple of weeks. So, I feel your pain Bikes & Briar. Just get yourself a bottle of Biotene mouthwash. Here's some info about it that I...

    Pipestud Needs Pipe Identification Help Again!

    Well, here's hoping George! I made this one - well, I have not made the stem yet - and would love your opinion. Do you think this beauty will give me a shot at fame and fortune? Steve

    Pipestud Needs Pipe Identification Help Again!

    And thanks guys. You have humbled me once again. I am always amazed at how I get a Sherlock Holmes dude to help me so quickly. Many thanks greeneyes! Thankfully, the consignor who sent me several Svetlana pipes sent only the ones that looked like, well, pipes.

    Pipestud Needs Pipe Identification Help Again!

    It's the new wave art, Jesse. In fact, I think you'd look swell smoking the Svetlana on the upper left. But unfortunately, it has already been sold. Oh darn.... right?

    Pipestud Needs Pipe Identification Help Again!

    Howdy Gang, I just received several nice unsmoked pipes from a consignor who has no idea who made the pipes. All have the same marking on the wood. It looks like the spelling of the name is either Neohaev or Nechaeva. And the logo looks like a butterfly to me. My limited searching abilities...

    Phased Tobacco Ban Bill Proposed in California

    Well, not wearing a cabana hat!. That would not look good on a Texan!

    Who Are The Real Tobacco Snobs?

    Howdy Gang and Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I just got through reading a recent thread, "Question for Debate," and thoroughly enjoyed reading through it, especially since my name was brought up a few times (okay, a lot of times). And I do want to start by saying that the reason I have been a site...

    What's the Lowdown on Uhle's?

    Great tip, vosGghos! I just tried a bowl of your Capstan Blue from year 2013 with Five Brothers as the topper, and it is super good. Five Brothers came through and absorbed that wonderful Capstan Blue topping. I don't think anyone is going to see the early Mac Baren's Capstan Blue on my website...

    A Question for Pipestud

    I remember that, Jesse. After you smoked that bowl and walked away from my table as steady as good riding horse, I told my wife, "Now that big old boy belongs in Texas!"

    A Question for Pipestud

    Ha ha! Well, they have to live first to tell the story and some pipe smokers have hit the dirt after trying my blend. It is actually a parfait. I first put 1/3 of a bowlful of the Murray's era RY in the bottom and then the top 2/3 with Five Brothers. The RY has an exceptional and mysterious...

    A Question for Pipestud

    I've never tried the Peterson's branded Royal Yacht, but as Chasing Embers said, it is still made by Orlik for STG. The Murray's era actually ended at some point in 2005. Unfortunately, RY has never been what it was when Dunhill London and Murray's made it. In fact, over the years since Orlik...

    Sad News, Harris Has Passed

    I received an email this morning from Gabriella Englander - Harris Englander's daughter, and she informed me that her father had died on November 30th. Known on this forum as Cigarmaster, Harris was a regular poster and I am sure that most of you knew him as his posts were always, well...

    Veterans Day

    Thank you, Streeper541. I have a brother who served 22-years in the Navy. Another brother who served 8-years in the Air Force, and my 19-year old youngest son is currently serving in the Army in the intelligence field at Fort Lewis/McChord in Washington. Finally, thanks to real nice letter from...

    Tin Size

    Howdy BriarsAndBottles, and no, I've never seen a Gondor tin before, and I've been selling old pipe tobacco since 2001, so it must be quite rare. Steve

    Tin Size

    Howdy Guys, and yes, it is Gondor and not London. As most of you LOTR fans know, Gondor was the prominent kingdom of men in Middle Earth. Unfortunately, I did not have that confirmed by publishing time. I guess because my 70th birthday is in a couple of weeks, I can only site poor eyesight and...
