    Let's See That Knowledge

    They have a few on display here at Arlington Pipe and Cigar. I bought one of the 2014 a few years back and it was like you say - wrapped in thin cellophane and dry as a bone.

    Pipe Lamps for your smoking room.

    It wouldn't be that hard to wire one of those candle lamp/night light bulbs into a cob. Not quite as sleek, but definitely a pipe shaped light. Buy a whole bag of Missouri Meerschaum seconds and make an antler chandelier style pipe lamp!

    Pipe Lamps for your smoking room.

    Saw these while shopping around for lights for our new house. Thought I'd pass the link along in case any of you have a smoking room in need of thematic illumination. https://www.bulbsquare.com/collections/wall-lights/products/modern-creative-pipe-resin-hardware-1-light-wall-sconce-lamp

    Let's See That Knowledge

    Sam Gawith used to sell limited editions that way, around xmas every year.

    Interesting. Thanks for adding some context.

    Silver Eskimos

    The Eskimos look applied after the pipe was made to me, but let's ask our resident jeweler for a more informed opinion. @cosmicfolklore

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    The $50 is entry for all events Thur thru Sun and does include $25 in drink tickets for the hotel. $25 is for Sunday only show floor and smoking tent. The club does lament that neither attendance nor exhibiting is as inexpensive as it has been in the past, but A. What is, and B. This is a much...

    Pipe Shop Reccomendations in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London.

    JJ Fox's bulk blends are mainly from Gawith and Germaine's. They're having the same trouble keeping them in stock that the rest of us are, despite surely being a very old of not original account.

    Pipe Shop Reccomendations in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London.

    JJ Fox is a historic location and a lovely lounge - really one of only a handful of indoor places one can smoke in London. I go whenever I'm in the city, but they don't have a huge selection of pipes, and their bulk tobacco is expensive and often out of stock. Go for to enjoy being in that...

    Vintage Lighters

    Yeah. It's a shame. I really like them, but they just weren't designed or made with repair in mind. Ronson, ST Dupont, and the like were, tho. If that helps narrow down your search.

    Vintage Lighters

    I went in hard for some 1960's Japanese-made pipe lighters. They are super neat, but were not made to be repairable, so once they're done, they're finished.

    Post-COVID Nicotine Hypersensitivity

    Last time my wife and I had it - for a couple weeks after symptoms abated, I was super sensitive to salt and she to sweet. Neither of us smoked much during that time.

    Happy Pi Day Everyone

    It's funny you mention America - our wedding date trick only worked in a handful of countries on earth that use the month/day/year convention. Thankfully, Belize was one of them!

    Happy Pi Day Everyone

    My wife and I were married on 3/14/15 the ceremony started at 9:26 and 54 seconds AM. Nerdy enough?

    First Smoke on the New Porch!

    No worries, man! I know the option of "get your spouse to become a pipe smoker also" is not available to everyone, so I'm happy to hear about other strategies, too.

    Brick and Mortar Shops With Online Stores

    Some have full e-commerce sites, some have an online inventory and invite you to email, some may be phone orders only. I would start with the retailer directory here and sort from there. My preferred local B&M has an e-commerce side for which they have to maintain separate inventory and...

    Windows! But still no patio floor.
