    Stonehaven in the Bunker

    Someone posts this video at least once a year. It never fails to make me laugh, so I thought I would post it for the benefit of all the new folks who have joined recently. It is a true classic.

    Gratuitous Post

    This post serves no purpose other than to get me to the magic 4,000 posts. Now . . . go about your business . . . nothing to see here, lol.

    Ryan Alden & Nate King Pipes

    I grabbed these today from Smoker's Haven. This is my first Alden pipe and my second Nate King pipe. The Alden is a canted egg made from strawberry wood with iron wood. The Nate King is called a microphone and has titanium accents. The microphone I am sure will not be to everyone's tastes...

    Wayne Teipen Heritage Line

    This has probably been mentioned by someone else on here, but tonight I was cruising the web and noticed that Wayne Teipen has started a new line of economical pipes. The bowls are made from factory turned briar (hand finished by Wayne) and the stems themselves are completely handmade by Wayne...

    Sad News: Paul Hubartt of Larrysson Pipes

    I stumbled upon some news tonight that I hadn't heard before (maybe I just missed it on here). Paul Hubartt of Larrysson pipes has stopped making pipes full time as a result of an injury to his finger of unknown origin. In the link below he says he will still try to make pipes as a hobby now...

    Ser Jacopo Picta Magritte Smooth Bent Billiard

    Have been in Texas at some meeting and, as a result, I had to cancel on my planned attendance at the Chicago show this year. To console myself, I grabbed this pipe. I have a few Ser Jacopos and quite like them, and I have had my eye on this line for some time.

    Chicago Questions

    I believe someone said there is an ATM at the Chicago show, but there is always a long line-up. Do most vendors take credit cards or, alternatively, can you pay with paypal through your mobile phone? Just trying to figure out how not to carry around a ton of cash.

    Cellar Aging - Excited to Taste the Impact

    I started cellaring about 18 months ago. Right now, according to my tobacco cellar bar graph, 44% of my stash is over the 1 year point in the cellar: http://tobaccocellar.com/peckinpahhombre This is from the time I put it in the cellar not from the time the blends were tinned. So far, I...

    Wayne Teipen - P&T Magazine

    In today's mail I received the spring issue of Pipes & Tobacco magazine. The lead story is Wayne Teipen and the cover features a Wayne Teipen pipe. I don't have a digitized version of the cover, but you can see it on this link (it is the middle issue)...

    Stem Material Variations

    I asked Michael Parks to send me some pics of different types of stem colours to help me decide what I want for my next commission. He sent me a raft of pics that I thought I would share with you. The following pipes are the ebonite samples:

    Parks Commission No. 3 - In Search of Ideas

    I want to commission three new sandblasted pipes from Michael, and I want some input on shapes, stain and stems. My current thinking is as follows: First, I like this shot of a Canadian on his site - black with white stem. As for the other two - I am not sure. I was thinking maybe an author...

    A Meeting with Brdavidson & Pruss - The Ruse Exposed

    Last night I was scheduled to meet Brian (brdavidson) and Pat (pruss) at Michael Parks' place. No surprise to me, only one person, aside from Michael, showed up, proving my long-held claim that Brian and Pat are really one and the same person. The "three" of us had a great time chatting with...

    Chicago Pipe Show - Who's Going?

    I am sure there is already a thread on this somewhere, but I couldn't find it. I am going to the Chicago pipe show this year - my first ever pipe show - and I am pretty excited. The travel is kind of a pain since I will be in Chicago for work from April 24-26 and then only a few days after I...

    A Young Hockey Fan is Very Excited

    My son just turned 8 years old. He is an avid hockey fan and last night he received from a family member two Easton composite sticks and the pucks below. I have never seen him so excited. Only a Canadian could get this excited over hockey sticks and some pucks, lol.

    Increasing Esoterica Prices

    I see we are witnessing more increases in the price of esoterica blends: http://www.4noggins.com/esoterica-pipe-tobacco.aspx I wonder if wholesale prices have risen. Does anyone know if SP has increased prices as well? They have none in at the moment so I have no way of telling.

    Forgive Me, For I Have Regressed

    My spring break vacation to Florida ended in a bit of a disaster. I was due to fly home Wednesday evening, but because of the storm in my neck of the woods, the flight was canceled. I spent three hours trying to get a flight back for four on different airlines, and the best I could do was...

    Observations on Driving in the U.S.

    I love the U.S. and travel there quite frequently. Over the years, however, I have noticed a few quirks about driving there that mystify me. I was wondering if my non-U.S. brothers notice any similar items (or other oddities of the road), and also whether the U.S. folks can offer an...

    Boca Raton Fl. Pipe Stores

    Heading down there this week with the family for a few days of sun. We have had a brutal weather so we need some warming rays. Any pipes or cigar stores in Boca or close by that are worth a visit?
