JT Cooke Pipes
New, he's about $800 and up, but not much more. His pipes do sell really quick when listed on his site, but look through the gallery there, and if you see something you like, he'll do it on commission. His stems are not wafer thin at all, but I still like the feel in the mouth. Being acrylic... -
On The 5th Day Of Christmas My True Love Gave To Me: A Lars Ivarsson Under My Tree
That looks like it could be sort of a tribute to his dad who did make a lot of bamboo shank billiards like this. It looks a little larger than the ones by Sixten though, which would be a good thing in my book. Very nice! Thanks for sharing.- ron123

Help me Not Stink at Fly Fishing?
What are they biting on? Huh? [louder] What are they biting on? The end of my line. [smirk] Yeah, that movie is probably responsible for half the guys (me included), out there frustrating ourselves with this gear. To the OP, It can cost a couple hundred, plus tip, but go out with a good guide...- ron123

A is for Ailarov Pipe Pics
Sweet pipe! We had a good afternoon at Ries, hanging out in the lounge. I was really surprised that it only took me 1/2 hour to get there, on Black Friday...figured it would be an hour-plus. We'll meet up some other time. Hope you have/had a good visit! -

Drinking Alcohol before an Auction !
By wholesale, I mean the price a retailer would look to pay. Off the top of my head, I think the Bangs went cheap, as well as the Todd Johnson Phalanx Q and the Parks 7 day set. Probably the Ashton’s, too…there were others that escape me at the moment. I think a big retailer like smokingpipes...- ron123

My Experience with Lbepen Deoxidizer [with pics]
I'd be happy with those results...thanks for posting. I've tried a couple of other products that were supposed to be good at oxidation removal and they did little if any good.- ron123

The Taurus Auction Catalog Is Up!
Congrats on the Lars, but wow, that second Gotoh is killer. I didn't bid on anything this time around, but I did have my eye on that Purdy turtle grade as well. Very nice pick-ups ???- ron123

Watch City's "Rouxgaroux" In-Stock
Went on the site a few minutes early to add some of The Churchwarden (which I love) and Terrapin Station (to try) and get the free shipping. I was smoking Rouxgaroux a few days ago in a Parks and the stuff was just singing. Worth trying if you haven't already.- ron123

Ray Kurusu & Boris Starkov Pipes
Nice pick ups! I really like that long shank blowfish by Ray Kurusu. I don't currently have any by Boris Starkov, but like a lot of what he does. I've been getting a little more into Ray Kurusu's pipes, and just got this one last week.- ron123

Seeking Help With Vintage Dunhill
The inner tubes are a nod back to the time before pipe cleaners were a thing and these were practical and useful. Today, I just remove them when buying a pipe and store them in the pipe's box in a closet. Before pipe cleaners, you could remove these periodically, and boil the crud out of them...- ron123

What’s the Deal with HS Studio Pipes?
I'm definitely not a fan of all things Chinese in general and prefer to buy American goods whenever possible, but Xu Hai is considered to be one of the best of the current pipe carvers out there: Xu Hai - https://www.scandpipes.com/pipes/725-xu-hai/ As far as HS Studio pipes, the eBay seller... -
