    Old Toby from The Country Squire

    I agree, the Country Squire blends are wonderful. I have tried most of the Middle Earth line, as well as Northwest Trek and Shepherd's Pie. I just ordered their 50th Anniversary Tin, Angry Cornishman, and Cowboy Coffee. Right this moment I am smoking the 50th in my new meerschaum pipe.

    A Tobacco Storage Dream Come True

    That is fantastic! I have had one pipe broken from a fall, so I think I would dedicate that top shelf to displaying pipes!

    I think you are right about Zion... and I was just there!

    Show off Your Meerschaum Claws Here!

    I received this from my cousin as a birthday gift a couple of weeks ago... I am about to break it in today!

    Ropp Repair

    Yes, Mark did a fantastic job, was very quick, responsive, and reasonably priced. It cost me $40, including the shipping, and I gave him a hefty tip.

    Do I Attempt A Repair?

    You are correct, it was $6.05 in a small flat rate box.

    What Kind of Pipes do you Like and Why?

    So far, and I am still less than 1 year in, I prefer straight billiards. I have a straight Nordine that I like: And I just got my Bing Xtra Long back from Mark Tinsky at American Smoking Pipe Co. with an excellent repair. But I think I want to try a bent bulldog next.

    What Kind of Pipes do you Like and Why?

    I have noticed that I get a pretty wet mouth as well when I smoke. I thought it was just me getting acclimated to smoking. I will definitely look into these systems. Thanks for the explanation!

    US Based Pipe Repairman?

    Mark Tinsky just repaired a Savinelli for me. I haven't seen the repair yet, but I am hoping it is in my mailbox when I get home tomorrow from my trip to Zion. He was incredibly responsive via e-mail, worked quickly, and sent me a photo of the finished repair before shipping it. I give him 4...

    Well, here is something I hadn't heard yet... "wet smoker" and "dry system"... Could I respectfully request an explanation?

    Do I Attempt A Repair?

    So, a quick update... I sent the pipe to Mark Tinsky and he fixed it up for me. Should be waiting in my mail box when I get home from Zion!

    Smoking in the Wild...

    Well, this week I am at my Sister and Brother-In-Laws cabin near Kolob Reservoir in Utah, just north of Zion National Park, which is in the background of this photo.

    Found Some Pipes at a Cabin in Zion...

    Yes, I tend to agree, except my BIL really likes the meer, so I might try to do some minor reconditioning on it.

    Found Some Pipes at a Cabin in Zion...

    Yes, a little internet research and I came to the same conclusion. Although this one looks a little more plain than the ones I saw. Maybe it was a lower end line? The gentleman that used to own this cabin (and presumably the pipes) was a working class guy that rarely spent money on "the finer...
