    Rad Davis Calabash

    I got an e-mail from Rad Davis today. He indicated that he has eased back into the shop and just completed his first post-operation pipe today, and it was my Calabash. Welcome back, Rad. Glad you are back in the saddle.

    SUV Shopping

    I have started the hunt for a new SUV. The ideal candidate will hold at least 6 passengers and have a ton of room. The wife and I only have two kids, but sometimes take her elderly parents with us, so we need to be able to hold at least six comfortably. I am a large guy, so it has to have a...

    That Pipe is Supposed to Look Like What?

    A new pipe released on Scandpipes today by a Japanese carver. I did a double take when I first saw it. I'm glad it's supposed to look like a leaf, because at first glance, I thought it looked like . . . er . . . something else. :oops: http://www.scandpipes.com/product.asp?product=2851

    Daniel Mustran Volcano & Blowfish

    Daniel Mustran is a carver whose work I have admired for quite awhile. I have skulked around his site (http://tnd-pipes.com) but have never managed to buy one of his pipes. Today smokingpipes added a couple four of his pipes and I picked up two, a Volcano and a blowfish. The description of...

    Anyone Speak German?

    Someone sent me a link to this site. The second from the last post on this page seems to be talking about me, but I can't for the life of me discern what they are saying. Just curious. http://www.zigarrenforum-online.de/showthread.php?p=237720

    JT Cooke Dublin

    I have a JT Cook Dublin in his black sandblast with amber stem and I really love that pipe: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/jt-cooke-st-paddys-dublin Today JT listed a dublin in his brown stain with black stem, and I thought it would be a great companion to the aforementioned dublin.

    Paul Bonaquisti Sabbia Pipe

    I am a big fan of Paul Bonaquisti and am always on the hunt for his pipes. I really think he is a vastly under-appreciated and under-rated carver, though I am not sure exactly why. I have a couple other Bonaquisti pipes and I am always mesmerized by his attention to detail. I would be curious...

    1880s Antique Mechanical Bird Match Holder & Dispenser

    On the weekend, I tossed a bid in on this match holder and dispenser. Thought it would look good in the man cave. Thought I would share it.

    Ingo Garbe Liverpool

    I grabbed this Ingo Garbe Liverpool today from SP. The accompanying ad copy is interesting - I never realized that Ingo Garbe only makes smooth pipes: Let's be perfectly honest, 'back in the day' most pipes that were sandblasted were subjected to the process because they contained flaws. Smooth...

    Milan Tobacconists - Shipping to Canada

    If any of the other Canadians on the forum have ever ordered tobacco from this establishment, I would be grateful if you could PM me and let me know your experience. Many thanks.

    Esoterica Scarborough

    Got a bag of this in the mail today that I bought on a whim. I haven't tried it yet and you don't hear all this much about this blend. Am I better off cellaring it away and trying it after it ages a bit?

    Welcome Back Cigrmaster

    Harris recently spent six days in state lock-up for drunken and disorderly conduct and making unwanted advances toward a small farm animal, but fortunately, he was released today and has returned to the forum. I am also told that he got along fabulously with his bunkmate, Bubba, and now they...

    Ever Go on a Tobacco Bender?

    I am not a very big smoker by many standards - average about a bowl a day, with a good chunk of that on weekends. With time off over the holidays though, I have been smoking far more than I usually do, and oddly, I can't get enough of the same blend: 2003 Christmas Cheer. I opened a tin of...

    Comoy Blue Riband Shape 214

    I grabbed this Comoy Blue Riband estate from smokingpipes. Looks in great shape for the age. This will be my second Blue Riband. Now, if only Kashmir would sell me his famous set, lol

    Smart Phones & Stuff

    I love Apple products. I have a Macbook and an iPad and think they are both fantastic devices. However, for a mobile phone, I have always used a Blackberry because I need a physical keyboard. I am constantly sending e-mails when I travel or am at meetings, and I just can't get used to a touch...

    Stonehaven Auctions

    Well, the prices for Stonehaven are already off to a good start in 2014. I see Rich is selling off some bags at $145: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ESOTERICA-STONEHAVEN-PIPE-TOBACCO-8oz-4noggins-/221345773364?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item33893c7734 It really is fascinating to see how the supply and...
