    New (To Me) Radice Hawkbill

    That is a nice looking pipe, and being a Radice, I am sure its safe to say itll be an excellent smoker. Congrats on the score.

    New Moretti Morta Win

    I really enjoy the few Morta/Bog Wood pipes I have due to the grain and the color being a nice change from typical briar. Saw this one for Moretti pop up and took a stab and surprisingly, no one really bid on it. Cant wait to get it in hand to really look at the grain, but I feel the photos...

    PipesandCigars.com issues?

    Funny you mention that, I had a different vendor use a few of those in the same conversation to which I rebutted each one until I finally got a refund. Its too easy nowadays to blame laziness and poor customer service on whatever new thing the news is reporting.

    Do Differences in Meershaum Pipes Quality Exist ad/or Matter?

    Wow - that is exceptional customer service. The only meer I have is from a now defunct pipe forum and it was their pipe of the year from Altinok. Nothing crazy, but its a nice pipe. After reading through this, I will break it out tomorrow for the "What are you smoking thread" and may look at...

    Jim's C&D Sun Bear Mountain Flower Review.

    Thats the funny thing about flavor being subjective. I get some sweetness, but its definitely not honey to me. I get the typical sweet VA flavor but the Oriental is the main star in my opinion.

    New Radice Arrival

    Gorgeous pipe there. Congrats!!! Honestly, I really want one of their Rind pipes but I never see them in the shape I am looking for. Their natural Briars like that though, beauties.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2022?***

    Drucquer & Sons Loch Ness in a new Moonshine Stoker (their term for the pipe).

    Peterson 2022 POY (14B)

    I didnt mind it on the St Patrick's one. Thought it was unique and paired with the green stem I grabbed one and its perfectly fine smoker for that price too. Then again, I am a sucker for their St. Patrick line, and this last one is nowhere near their worst. I have 2 or 3 from different years...

    Peterson 2022 POY (14B)

    Makes me wish they actually had a competitor. The constant crashes on releases from their site, this double sale crap, and then timing releases to be at midnight est would normally be enough to send me elsewhere, but there are no other sites with the selection they have for both Pipes and...

    Peterson 2022 POY (14B)

    SP website screwed me again. Waited for the drop, kept refreshing, saw the Rua I wanted, snagged it and used my saved info to checkout instantly. Took the time to look at all the others afterwards only to get an email saying: “Congrats, you bought 0/0 pipes for $0.00. Thanks for choosing...

    If Money Were No Obstacle....

    Not a bad idea but I already have 2 Kiribi lighters I really enjoy and a few custom tampers. Above that, I honestly doubt the wife would go for a $900 Dunhill lighter thats listed on SP :LOL: but - it does fall in the no obstacle category. (I honestly want to know who is paying $1000 for a...

    If Money Were No Obstacle....

    You know, I have added one of those and an Il Duca to my cart numerous times in the past and never could commit to it. As a gift though, I may just do it this time.

    James Upshall - Am I Missing Something?

    I know this is an older comment, but I was going to send a few in to them as well (have done so before), but then I read their stipulations. If I remember correctly, if you wanted store credit, you would get 55% of what they valued the pipe at and less than that for cash in hand. I get they...

    Help me see what I am missing

    I would honestly get bored with my collection if it were all smooth finish pipes. I like variety and some rustications and other finishes help round out a collection. For me, I really like the Radice Rind finish, Jacono has some nice ones, as does Tom Eltang (cant afford his) and a few...

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Nice, and I too needed pipe cleaners :LOL: and grabbed the same ones I mean, you cant really beat 20% off for those.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    Grabbed 200g of Dracquer & Sons First Amendment and 200g of Loch Ness. Want to try before I get more, but couldnt beat the sale they were having (20% off at SP) and I usually grab a bowl of English blends as the weather gets cooler in the evening. Reviews were promising so here's to hoping...

    Show Off Your Petersons Here!

    Peterson Amber Spigot I got a few years back when they released these from old left over amber they had in stock. My favorite in my collection so far. I only use the backup stem that came with it due to how delicate amber is, but she’s a really good smoker.

    Looking For English Blend Alternatives

    Awesome, hope you enjoy it as much as I did when I had it. It really hits that full on latakia flavor for me. Let me know your thoughts either way though.

    If Money Were No Obstacle....

    Title edited for caps and possible word change. Original: "If money were no option..." What would you choose as your pipe? I apologize if this has been discussed at length but I am truly curious what people consider worthy of their money if they had no other obligation. The main reason I ask...
