    The Movie "Midway"

    It is on my list

    Let's Discuss Birth Year Pipes. Photos Appreciated.

    For the younger among us, Castello is also an option for a pipe with a date code stamp. If I remember correctly they started stamping the date code in the mid-1980s.

    Long Term Cigar Storage

    In my opinion, that is way too high for long-term storage. I'd suggest closer to 65% for long-term. At 75% you run a substantial risk of mold if the temp. gets above 70. I second the use of a cooler or rubbermaid container with the Heartfelt beads. Have been using this setup for about 10...

    Stem is Very Tight After Cleaning

    Try to get them back together and let them rest. going forward, don't leave the stem removed for any extended period of time.

    Tobacco And Short Term Sub-Zero Temps

    Cigars yes, pipe tobacco no. Cigars can split to heck with substantial temp changes.

    Savinelli Punto Oro Corallo vs Castello

    Pictures are worth a thousand words. Both are nice pipes and should provide a lifetime of smoking pleasure. Pick the one that speaks to you the most.

    Let's See Those Beat Up Old Faithfuls!

    good topic! I'd post mine, but I smoke too infrequently and have too many pipes for any of them to fall into this category, other than my very first pipe (a basket pipe) that I burned out and tossed years ago.

    New Pipe Pouch (Pic Not-So-Heavy)

    nice job! Love the hardware. Is there a loop or any other way to secure the pipe from moving around? If you did a larger one to hold more than one pipe, I think that would be important.

    K&P & Peterson: Whats the Difference?

    Please don't take my comment about silver too seriously. It is just my own observation. I could be completely wrong. And if I am right, there are always exceptions to the general rule. It is not uncommon for inconsistent stamping from Peterson. For example, I have a Peterson Killarney pipe...

    K&P & Peterson: Whats the Difference?

    The original name of the company was Knapp and Peterson. Eventually, it became just Peterson, but the K&P trademark was already establish and I believe has been in continuous use. Just from personal observation, it seems that all silver is stamped K&P

    Peterson 312 NAP Bit.

    @jiminks Was this project an official Peterson project, or was the a Mark Irwan project where the original Peterson stems were replaced with the replica stems? Not that it matters, just curious. Very nice looking pipe and interesting story behind it.

    Removing the Stem of a Warm Pipe

    Adding to dmc, I believe the mortise itself can also expand some, making the fit against the briar. On most pipes, the shank is rather thin, so there is the risk of the extra force applied to overcome the additional friction could cause the shank to crack. Having said that, I have taken...

    I Love Flakes. I Also Hate Them.

    so far I have not had good luck with FVF. I've tried fold and stuff, and cube cut. Cube cut was a little more succesful, but still a PIA and completely lacking in any flavor. I have not had this issue with other flakes and coins, although it did take some practice to get the others to burn...

    ArmyMount Pipes And Their Origin

    I have a Peterson Spigot that I really like, both the look and function. I also have a Becker & Musico Army Mount which again is a beautiful pipe. Although I have never had a stim or shank break due to taking a pipe apart while still warm, I do like the function of the Army Mount.
