    My First Rad Davis

    A few months back I caved to the pressure of my own PAD obsession and ordered me a custom Rad Davis pipe. It arrived today. I went with a large bent bulldog partial blast. It is a beautiful pipe. Now what should I load it up with? Should I be adventurous and load up one of these new to me...

    Pipe Club PAD Plus TAD For Me

    I just got some pipes in for the pipe club. First up is our March raffle pipe, a 2013 Peterson St. Patrick's Day Pipe #69. Next is a Tsuge bent bulldog. It was the prize for coming up with winning logo for our club as seen on our new business cards. However, the pound of Squadron Leader is all...

    My 2 Cousins Pipe Rack Arrived Today

    I finally got my pipes out of their exile in a buffet drawer and a home of their own. I love my 2 Cousins pipe rack. It is set up to hold 28 pipes. I still have a little room to go. The ones on the bottom right are my loaner pipes, and I will be replacing them with my own pipes in the future...

    2-19-13 Chattanooga Pipe Club Meeting

    Had a great time with our last pipe club meeting. We had just over a dozen people show up. Here is Burn's Tobacconist downstairs from where we meet. This was our boot black girl, Cecily. Got a quality shoe shine for a great price. We had a contest to create a new logo and here is the...

    Growley Hunting Horn

    I asked Rowley to make me a magnum pipe. That was my only stipulation. The rest I left up to him and here is the result of my artisan's choice pipe: It is an amazing pipe and it absolutely nothing like any other pipe in my collection. Thank you Mr. Rowley for another amazing pipe and for...

    How Much Do You Smoke?

    How many ounces do you smoke in a day? week? year? I am trying to gauge how much I smoke in year. It has been tough because the amount I smoke changes significantly with what I am doing. I work a weird rotating shift, so what I am doing is always changing. When I do smoke, it is usually 2 bowls...

    Valentine's Date Night

    Due to being called into work, we had to celebrate Valentine's day a day late. We did a nice dinner and a comedy show. Just because my wife is so cool, she suggested we head out to the local Billiard Club (bar) for a pre-dinner drinks and a pipe for me. I got a chance to load up my new pipe from...

    Estate Stanwell Zebrano

    Picked this estate Stanwell a couple weeks ago. I do love my apple/brandy shapes... or maybe it is a squashed tomato. Either way it fits nicely in the hand. The other cool thing about this pipe is that it is fitted for a 9mm filter. I bought some Vaun filters and a few Savinelli balsa inserts. I...

    Staples Large Bent Billiard

    Meet the new red head in my life. The pics do not do the red color on this pipe justice. I know I have a good pipe when I show it to the wife and she says "If I were to smoke a pipe it would be something as pretty as that one". Cannot wait to smoke this. If you ever get a chance to buy an Andrew...

    New Tinsky Plus TAD

    Here is my latest acquisition. Not sure where to start with the tobacco. Been very curious about Grousemoor, just not sure what pipe to smoke it in.

    Upcoming Pipe Raffle

    Just got the pipe in for the Chattanooga Pipe Club's next pipe raffle on 2-19. It is a very nice Stanwell Zebrano straight smooth billiard. It is going to be tough parting with this pipe, but I am sure it will end up with someone who will love it.

    Briar Bird Billiard

    Bought a Briar Bird billiard because it was different from everything else I own. What do you think?

    1-22-13 Pipe Night Report

    We had a great turnout for the Chattanooga Pipe Club, 21 people. The Hemingway Room at our local Chattanooga Billiard Club was a great venue for our group and we will be using it from now on. Not my best pictures, I was having so much fun, I didn't take the time to really get some good...

    Pipe Cleaning

    Just finished cleaning and sanitizing the loaner pipes for the upcoming pipe night. Put new soft bits on all of them too. I also spent some serious quality time cleaning up my own collection of pipes. I learned today that I should be doing this more often with my most heavily used pipes.

    Luciano Bulldog Plus TAD

    Well here is what I am starting off the new year with: I am liking the quality to price ration on this Luciano. It was a candidate for the Chattanooga Pipe Club's February raffle. Not sure if it is going to make it till then unsmoked.

    Tin vs. Can

    Let me start off by explaining what I mean by tin and can. Simply put a tin to me is what stuff like Squadron Leader comes in, the "traditional" or "old school" packaging. Compared to something like Frog Morton's or GL Pease. I absolutely love my McClelland's and GL Pease tobaccos, but I am not...

    Growley Bent Egg

    I got a smooth bent egg from Growley that has a very interesting and pleasing grain/bird's eye pattern on it. Stunning fit and finish on this pipe. Best of all it just sits off the mouth very comfortably.
