    Save the date: 19/21 June 2026 International Pipe Show - Lake Como (Italy)

    I don’t mind saving the date, but I’ll probably save the airfare too!

    What Are You Listening To? - October 2025

    I’m old and out of it with technology so I haven’t a clue re posting these “samples” of everyone’s favorite stuff. Any advice? Lately I’ve been listening to lots of big band stuff from all eras, including Mike Vax and the Stan Kenton Legacy Orchestra. BTW, Mike is now my trumpet teacher. He’s a...

    What Is With Petersons Using P-Lips For All Their New Releases?

    As a confirmed heretic I like Peterson acrylic fishtails. P-lips have never fit my teeth. They shift around and toss ash onto my lap. I also hate oxidation. So sue me!

    Excuse my late condolences. I can’t keep up here.

    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    I don’t expect most people to adopt the ketogenic lifestyle, however, they should stop lying about it. Yes, most of the current “data” is anecdotal, but that’s largely due to the fact that studies are too expensive and the labs are pressured by Big Ag and Big Pharma not to undertake the study...

    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    BTW, pipes smokers are probably the last people you should go to for cogent info on nutrition.

    Well I'm Fat Pt2

    Too many uninformed contrarians like yourself on this forum. I guess enthusiastic tobacco users are understandably defensive in this day and age. Comments like yours are why I’ve lost interest in Pipesmagazine.

    Not true. Read Gary Taubes’ books.

    Dottle

    When I started smoking pipes 55 years ago I had big issues with tongue bite and wet dottle. I convinced myself that smoking fresh ”wet” tobacco would save my tongue. With some experience I ”discovered” that new tins are over moist to preserve shelf life, not my tongue. Hot steam will burn your...

    Cracked shank?

    BTW, Peterson Irish Seconds come in 3 grades. Number 1 is the best, Number 3 has more flaws. How critical those grades are is anyone’s guess.

    Dottle

    Keep in mind that the lower portion of the tobacco in your chamber has been “filtering” the upper portion of the chamber and concentrating the flavors at the bottom. Sometimes this is delicious and sometimes it needs to be dumped. Also dry your leaf please.

    Cleaning / wax bowl

    Get a tub of Howard Wax-It-All(beeswax,carnauba,mineral oil). This will provide a soft sheen on the briar and will help to prevent oxidation on vulcanite stems. It is entirely food grade as well. I apply it with a rag after every smoke. Great stuff!

    Breaking in my new Peterson Seconds 411 with sterling ferrule. The son of my lifelong best friend who passed away last year was visiting Dublin and sent me this pipe. Filled with Three Friars for the break in. A lovely gesture from a dear boy!

    Well Im Fat

    I wouldn’t say that drugs are cheating, but the side effects that the voiceover lists at the end of the adds is truly unnerving. You can accomplish your goals with diet and be generally healthier to boot. It just requires self discipline to put it bluntly. All the best to you!

    To My Fellow Falcon Owners

    Falcons Forever!! I’ve been smoking them since 1972 and all my subsequent bowls smoke beautifully.

    Pipes for putting around

    Get you a straight Falcon stem and a few Falcon Bantam bowls. Perfect pipes for work break smoke.

    Well Im Fat

    Try the Carnivore diet for three months. My wife and I are at 16 months on this diet. We lost 70 lbs each. Our blood work is excellent. Arthritis, psoriasis, sleep apnea are gone. We feel better than we ever have.
