    Tiny 100yr Old Oom Paul

    So last week I had talked about seeing a small Oom Paul in my B+M and how I'd love to try one. Well Jeff at the B+M sold me the one I'd seen in the first place. It's a small pipe about the same size as a Peterson 317, 4 1/2" from bottom of the bowl to top of the bit. The bowl is 3/4" diameter...

    A 1000 Posts, 2 Years Of Pipe Smoking, And The Birth Of A Club.

    2 years ago I took up the pipe with a seriousness I never had before. I had dabbled now and then but I'd never taken the plunge. I'm glad I had. 16 months ago I found this great place..... This bastion of briars, brothers, and like- minded pipers that I now call friends. Now from the local...

    Small Oom Paul??

    Yesterday I was at my B+M checking to see if the had anything new and I noticed a pipe he had on the wall as a display. It was a very small Oom Paul with no markings that he'd gotten as an estate pipe, it had some bad charring inside the bowl and he figure it wasn't worth restoring. It wasn't...

    My First Charatan

    Picked up my first Charatan today and as far as I can tell it is a mid-70's Lane era unsmoked Billiard. It is very light weight with a really nice tan rusticated finish, it also came with original box and pipe sock. I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable them me will correct me if I'm off. I'm...

    Back From Jamaica... Not Smoker Friendly!

    My wife and I just got back from Ocho Rios, Jamaica yesterday and while we had a wonderful time, and it's a beautiful place, Jamaica is not a very smoker friendly place. Our resort had 2 small smoking areas and while cigarettes and cigars are aplenty, but only tourists.... very rare to see a...

    Issues With Dublins

    I'm not sure why but I seem to have a problem with small Dublins. I have 2 in my collection and while I like the space they always seem to smoke hot on the last half of the bowl. I don't have this problem with my smaller Apples, Eggs, Cuttys or Billiards. Maybe its how I smoke matched with the...

    Cure To Virginia Bite.

    First off I hate having to say I was wrong but this time I was. I was discussing with Morton about my obsession with Virginias as of late but how I really had to be careful as they like to bite me. He suggested adding a little Perique, not up til this point the only Perique I was smoking was...

    A Tale Of Two Cuttys And The Lost Of A Legend Locally

    Years ago I was in search of a cutty shape pipe and at the time I knew nothing of online vendors and forums so my local B+M was my only avenue. I found a Chacom mini churchwarden that had a cutty shape to the bowl but it was the closest I could find so I bought it. Last year I managed to snap...

    Grabow Goodness

    So thanks to soymilkisgood I have added my first Dr.Grabow, a Commodore #10, to my growing collection and I think this adds to a turning point in pipe collecting for me. If Soy is correct on the approx dating this is now the oldest pipe in my collection at almost 50yrs old, it's my first stinger...

    A Rarely Discussed Flake

    I make no bones about the fact that my favorite flake is Capstan Blue and I tend to compare all other Virginia flakes to the beloved Blue. My local B+M often doesn't have my Blue in stock so I have been trying others..... Orlik Golden Slices, SG Golden Glow, etc and recently my guy had me try a...

    My First Falcon... A Lost Cause?

    So I picked up a old smoked Falcon at the local antique shop this weekend and it's in pretty rough shape but little did I know how rough. After some cleaning on the bowl I noticed some cracks smeared with what I thought was years of cake. On further inspection I know believe the past...

    Couple New Tools And The Return Of An Old Favorite.

    Years ago when I was just starting trying to smoke a pipe I had bought a tin of Erinmore flakes because I had seen it in a movie. No I knew nothing about smoking flakes as my Grandda had only smoked Sail Green but I was determined to try it. A grand disaster to say the least, I remember rolling...

    Merry Christmas To Me!!!

    So for a while now I have wanted another Meer and I was looking for an African Meer to boot. Today I walked into my local B+M and there in the estate rack was this beauty. It's a Peterson African Meer in the bent system shape I like. I haven't done the research yet to give it a date made yet but...

    Ocho Rios, Jamaica B+M???

    My wife and I are heading to Ocho Rios in February and wondering if anyone know of a B+M there? I'm sure there will be cigars readily available but should I pack a few tins of Capstan in my luggage?

    Favorite Pipe For Hunting?

    Do you have a favorite pipe for hunting? What about a favorite tobacco? I have a Brigham Chinook that inevitable finds its way out during a day of hunting. For whatever reason I have seen more coyotes while smoking that pipe then any of my other pipes combined. For tobacco hunting I tend to lean...
