    Old KBB Yello Bole Churchwarden

    I've always wanted an old churchwarden. I took a bit of a gamble with this one on ebay. The pictures were fuzzy, but the price was right. I received it yesterday- and was delighted. Its a super craggy old KBB yello-bole, #2795, lightly smoked, and still retains most of the bowl coating. Its...

    Murray's Erinmore Cube Cut Tin?

    Anyone familiar with the cube cut version? Is it the same as the flakes, just cut different or different blend altogether? Any thoughts on when they quit making this? I just acquired a few tins and was curious as to what to expect. Can't find much information on the cube-cut tins. Any...

    AAAARRRGGHHH!!! Inexperienced Ebay Sellers

    I bought this a few days ago, buy it now, for $20. Although not my favorite style, this little gem had seen very little use. The "snowflake" was not worn at all, the nomenclature crisp, and the bowl barely used. I own 4 other old Kriswills and they are great smokers. It arrived...

    My 82 Year Old Prince (Charming?)

    Took a gamble on this one on ebay. The pictures weren't that great and it was a buy it now. There were not any pics of the pipe dis-assembled. To my delight when I received it I found it had the Vernon fitment tendon! My first. Not real familiar with them. It appears there is part of an...

    Anyone Ever Layer Different Types Of Tobaccos In Pipe?

    Just curious- anyone do this? I have, with mixed results. I have put Lat forward blends in my pipe first (half bowl), then topped it off with VA's. I think last time I used Capstan Blue. Interesting. Starts off all mild and sweet, but you taste the Lat, even though its not burning yet...

    My New Meer-- Seeking Info

    Fellas- I just bought this meer. It's a Strambach Vienna brand. This is my first Meer. I was looking for a more conservative, traditional style rather than the highly ornate carved ones--just suits me better. I've had a couple meershaum lined briars and was'nt too impressed. Can't find alot...

    Birth Year Pipes--Middle Age? Or What??

    I'm 47 years old. For some damn reason I feel a real strong compulsion to get a pipe that was made in the year I was born. I'm thinking a Dunhill, Poker to be exact. Don't know why, but I feel the strong urge to smoke out of a briar that's as old as me. Anyone else feel this? Am I the only...
