    "Pipe Has A Couple of Cracks On The Bowl, But Does Not Look Like It Will Inhibit

    What do YOU think? I guess it depends upon what you use it FOR.

    PAD de Duex, or Two Birds w/One Stone

    I'm trying to put a positive light on the fact that I won another pipe from the auction site which shall remain shameless. With that in mind, here's both my first Peterson pipe and my first Military mount.

    Thank God We Have Pipes, Have You Seen Cig Prices?

    When I did smoke cigarettes, I smoked roll your owns. I smoked Drum for years. When taxes made me rethink buying Drum I switched to some of the pipe tobacco products being sold to cig smokers for RYO. I wasn't ever happy with the change, but...I have a Nicotine desire. I was in a grocery store...

    Out Of Office Blends?

    P&C has these on the back page of their catalog. Who has tried them? I'm betting that most of us think these are too inexpensive to be of any real value. It's funny how merchandising works sometimes.

    Do You Have A Steed In Your Herd?

    Do you have a pipe or pipe shape that always hits the mark? A pipe that works no matter your pace? A pipe that responds to your every mood, despite repeatedly being smoked with different blends? If you do, you're very fortunate. Every now and then I think, "this is the one"...and most of those...

    Accouterment

    For you cob smokers out there, the topic is pipe shit. For instance, anything other than pipes and tobacco that you've acquired or been on the look out for that has been inspired by those aforementioned essentials. I just bought a ceramic duck for instance. It's made by Comoy and has...

    Some Sales Are Not, Really All That

    Without naming names, I just did the math on one of our sponsors recent sale on some tobacco and found that you can save $.05 per ounce if you buy it in one lb. increments. That's a whopping $ 0.80 off the lb. ! As they say: "such a deal"

    Colllectible Pipes

    Got more than one? You've got the beginnings of a collection. What makes a pipe collectible? The fact that you want it for some reason. The fact that lots of people want it. Its rarity. Its beauty. And of course, its value. The guy who started Tinder Box evidently made some pretty nice...

    Tongue Coated With Nicotine?

    OMG! I just looked at my tongue in the mirror for s&g and also because I've been experiencing some tongue burn that I wasn't sure if it was from hot food or drink or pipe smoking. It was pretty covered in brown stain! I've taken a tooth brush and stuff to it and it's much cleaner, but that...

    The Thrill Of The Hunt

    Once we've decided to smoke a pipe, we're 'confronted' with how to best acquire a nice selection. I discovered that buying pipes on the auction site has been a lot of fun. I may have been indiscriminate and foolhardy, but all in all I think I've gotten value for my bux. I just won a group of 8...

    Dunhill Root Briar Listing - "Reasonable"?

    Here's a Dunhill Root Briar for under 60 bucks, so far...I question the originality of its stem?

    What Blend Contained Your First Taste of Latakia?

    I was reading the OLD thread about Squadron Leader tobacco, and found a comment that struck me as interesting. Here's just the gist in an excerpt. I distinctly recall not only the first blend I smoked with Latakia, but everything about it from the moment it arrived. It was a bulk blend by...

    Tobacco Doesn't Grow On Trees

    No, it doesn't, that I know of, anyway. It probably could be arranged. Today is Arbor Day. Here's a 'quiz' that results in assigning your answers a kind of tree. Arbor Day Quiz I was given the Blue Spruce. I wish I had Howard Hughes' dough! (oh yeah..that was Goose)

    What Do You Value More? Pipe or Tobacco?

    I know, I know. "You can't consider one w/o the other" "They are part and parcel", etc. Piping involves our imaginations and our curiosity. These are reasons piping is so enjoyable to a lot of us. We become enthralled with every aspect of a 'language' passed down as we discover our own fluency...

    I Bought A Duk-it Horseshoe Pipestand

    I got this on ebay for $17.00. These pipes look like they will smoke just fine. Nothing fancy, but spanking new, 'natural' finish briars with nice new stems and the stand is like new too. Pipes are marked Borkum Riff Natural on one side Imported briar and a 3 digit number for each on the...

    What I Noticed In This Month's P&C Brochure

    Who among us does not enjoy the nice glossy sales brochure we all get when we buy from P&C? That's kind of rhetorical. Anyway, I know I do, and I usually read it from cover to cover, just like I do each week's grocery store flyers. I like to shop for values. I'm a hunter gatherer I guess...

    The Five Pound Price Break

    I've noticed that the more you buy the less you pay. I noticed that 'a few' years ago, but, in relation to tobacco, I'd never really thought about that much product. After having been smoking a pipe for almost a year, I've reconsidered the situation and I think I will try to pick up one or two...

    Final Two / NCAA Men's Basketball

    For all you roundball fans out there, I hope you've enjoyed some of the games in this year's tournament. I just started this thread to brag about my bracket. I've got both finalist's! I've picked Duke to win, final score 73/70. I'm in the top 4/4% of bracketeers! (just lucky, but, yet I get a...
