    Traveling With Pipes/Tobacco. Has it changed for you?

    Good afternoon fellow pipers. When I went on my honeymoon 40 years ago we drove about four hours and stayed in a mountain cabin for a week. I smoke my pipe on the drive, in the cabin and on our travels in the area knocking back many bowls every day I took two briars, a couple tampers, a couple...

    Repair Suggestion Please

    Good morning fellow Pipers. I have this small Stanwell pipe that was gifted to me by a dear friend that has passed away. This little pipe is a great smoker and I think of my buddy every time I light it up. The problem is that there is an acrylic mortise on the end of the shank that is cracked...

    Jewelry Cabinet Becomes A Pipe Cabinet

    A couple weeks ago, I posted that a pipe smoking buddy of mine converted a jewelry cabinet to a pipe cabinet. I was wrong! He had the idea, but he never got around to it. I liked the idea so much that I decided to tackle it and thought I would share the results with you folks. A jewelry cabinet...

    Worst Pipe(s) That You Still Smoke A Lot?

    Good afternoon, We all have our star players... those expensive artisan pipes that really make a statement! BUT, do any of you have a pipe or pipes that are really rough but you still smoke a lot? I thought it might be fun to share some pics of your favorite beater pipe(s). Maybe they are...

    One (Or A Few) Tobaccos?

    Evening Piper, I know lots of you have a large rotation of tobaccos and welcome the variety. On the other hand, even though I have a large and varied cellar I find myself smoking the same two or three tobaccos all the time...Orlich Golden Sliced and its twin Boswells Private Stock and Pegasus...

    Packing Question

    Good evening. I have a question to throw out to the forum. I have a particular pipe that I really like… the look, the feel, weight, clench ability etc. The only problem is the draw is abit tight. It is not so tight that it makes it uncomfortable to smoke but requires a slightly different...

    Calabash Help

    I know a good bit about Briar pipes having collected them for years. I have recently taken an interest in Calabash pipes but I don't know anything about them. I was in an antique store yesterday and saw this calabash and this stand for a total of $50. It seems like a good deal. The pipe is in...

    Drying Time

    I know this topic comes up pretty often but there's lots of new pipe smokers on here that might benefit from hearing this fresh. I almost always buy my tobacco in bulk form. I really prefer my tobacco on the dry side and almost always put it out on paper plates overnight. It might seem that 8 or...

    Part Of My Collection

    I have been collecting and restoring old estate pipes for years. Hundereds have moved through my shop but here are a couple of bad photos of my current, ever changing collection. There are several new Boswell pipes and a few new Savinelli's but other than that these pipes are all old and...

    Possible Tongue Bite Solution

    I'm very close with a young man that's 35 years younger than me. When we first met, he was a dedicated cigar smoker, but his wife hated the smell. When she was around me she always remarked to her husband about how much she liked the smell of my pipe. She even told him he could smoke a pipe...

    Confessions Of An Amateur Pipe Restorer

    This is a very long post, so only read it if you are bored or have lots of time I've always been a fan of bringing old and forgotten things back to life. I restored a couple of houses and countless pieces of furniture from bygone days and it seems like the worst they are than more I enjoy...

    What We Have Learned

    For the past several years, a group of guys meet at our local B and M once a week(sometimes more) to solve the problems of the world. There are six of us in the core group with our ages ranging from 65 to 85. We are all serious pipe smokers and enjoy anywhere from 6 to 12 bowls a day. I could...

    Calabash Question

    Good evening fellow pipers, I have helped out an older neighbor widow(85 years old) since her husband died in 2019. He was a pipe smoker and among the many tasks I help Barbara with she loves when I smoke my pipe in her house. It reminds her of her husband. Anyhow after John died his...

    What Am I Missing?

    I dry my tobacco, pack my pipe in the three step method taking care not to pack too tightly, smoke slowly enough that the pipe doesn't get hot to the touch, sip the pipe etc but still I rarely smoke to the bottom of the bowl. About 1/4 is left most times and it wont stay lit. I know it isn't a...

    Storing Tobacco In Zip Locks

    In a conversation with a respected tobacconist he informed me that people made too much of tobacco storage. He feels that storage in zip locks is fine and if the tobacco dries out a bit simply put it in a bowl, spritz it with distilled water and cover it with a paper towel. I bought some...

    Good evening fellow pipers. Somewhere along the way I lost the top piece to my zippo pipe lighter do any of you know where I could order that piece from? I looked on their website but didn't see anything. Thank you in advance.
