    Something I Can Actually Afford!

    I like to cruise the bay every once in a while just to torture myself, I'm sure I'm not the only one... Am I? Anyways, I actually ran across something in my price range and something I have wanted for some time. A square shanked vintage MM cob (this happened to be unsmoked) for only 2.99! Well...

    My Night Smoke

    Just out on the balcony enjoying the summer night with some of my favorite things. Lattice Meer, Klondike Gold, and stone IPA. A nice way to enjoy the night after being called into work on your day off.

    Four New To Me Pipes To Restore (PICS)

    SWMBO came home from her trip with four pipes for me from her grandparents. Apparently he has much more but he really likes them and kept them as eye candy for himself. He no longer smokes and hasn't smoked for some time. I was told these were just sitting for 15-20 years! Two of the stems are...

    She Is Visiting Her Grandparents

    SWMBO is gone for a couple days visiting her grandparents so I am home alone relaxing and working on projects un-disturbed. I receive a few pics and am told that they are mine when she comes home. Of course I am over joyed as some of these look very interesting. From what I have been told...

    I Love Repurposing Things

    My mom saw this in a clearance rack since it was missing a few peices and picked it up for me. It's a pretty cool kit with small flasks, collapsible cups, flask funnel, ice tongs, and I think there was some kind of bottle opener/cork screw but that was missing along with what I believe to be a...

    Yet Another Generosity Of Pipers Thread

    Some here may know I have been going through some difficult times lately. Well I received a very nice PM with wishes of things to start looking up and a request of my address so that he could send me a package. I thought that he would of took a few samples from his stash and send them my way so...

    I Didn't Have Cases So I Made This

    I bought this cigar box a while back and intended to make something with it. Last night I had a great idea! I have two meers that were birthday presents but they did not come with cases and I didn't like the fact they just sit in the rack with the others unprotected. With time, a display board...

    To Smoke Or To Cellar

    Some here may have read my post about my recent problem with my glasses and them cleaning my extremely shallow pockets out. (Two weeks of pay believe it or not) Well now I am left with the dilemma of my cellar which contains a jar of LBF, LNF, and tins I won from the cartoon contest a few months...

    I Think I Will Need To Cry Now

    Just call me Mr. Magoo now! I got up really quick to grab a drink and when I got back to the couch I sat down and was treated with the sound of a CRUNCHHH. I gasped and jumped up to see my glasses sitting there in pieces!! GREAT! Just what I need with everything else going on right now. I have...

    Casualty Of Smoking A Pipe

    Well here is yet another one!! I hate when this occurs, it's not often but when it does I get a burned nipple and a lost item of clothing. :rofl: Today it was a shirt, last few times it was my favorite sweaters. Bummer.... I have a weird habit of slightly blowing into the pipe while letting the...

    I Think I May Be Addicted (To Making Tampers)

    Tamper Exchange 2014 is in full swing and so I made up my first to enter into the fun. Well I may of stirred something up inside because now all I can think about is new designs to make. It is pretty fun to do and is nice to have something like this to do while smoking since they go hand and...

    Falcon Pipe Massacre

    I recently posted about the difference of two falcon pipes and didn't get too much information about it but it has arrived so I can now inspect it closer. Well, to say the least I am pretty bummed out. The stem was removed and the inner tube loose and leaking air. This upset me quite a bit as I...

    Difference In These Falcons

    I have done quite a bit of research but have not seen anything to answer this question. The one on the left is a US made falcon and the one on the right is one made in Ireland. My question is why is the one on the left so much different? As in the central tube pattern. Is this just a mistake...

    What A Scare- Southern California Fire

    I'm not sure if anyone has seen this but there has been a fire raging here pretty close to my house. It's been pretty freaky as people are being evacuated and a natural preserve being destroyed! My heart goes out to those who have been directly hit by this as well as the damage it has done to...

    The PIF Machine

    The other night while catching up on past posts I see that Masspiper has added another beautiful meer to his collection. I post a reply congratulating him on his score and how I will have to try a meer out one day and how my birthday is coming up so I can drop the hint on SWMBO in hopes she...

    Anyone Else Watch The Eclipse?

    I worked graveyard last night and a few people came in and started talking about there being an eclipse that night. Luckily I take my lunch around midnight and that's when the fun was supposed to happen although periodically through the night I went out to see the moon be engulfed by the shadow...

    Smoke In The Eye Ball

    Or is this just me.... When I puff I let it slowly exit my mouth on its own will. Many times this causes it to come right up to my eye and STING!! I do wear glasses though, anyone else?

    New Pipe Rack.... Now What?

    So I went antiquing with the girlfriend the other day, saw this and couldn't pass it up for the price. It spins for ease of selection and has the origional jar with a humidor stone on the lid. But now it sits on my shelf looking sad and lonely :rofl: Doesn't look like it will be filled anytime...
