Pictures of my pipes
Thanks all, for the positive comments. I'm not certain what the stem is made of, cortezattic, but that seems right. It's not acrylic, for sure. It's a great smoking pipe for under $30US. The Ropp is a cool smoke, and the Savinelli draws very easy as well. So far, I'd have to say that my... -

Pictures of my pipes
Here's a photo of the new (unused) Ropp I got off eBay this week (http://pipesmagazine.com/members/jcosmoasp/album/picture/169). I had a very pleasant smoke of Samuel Gawith Balkan Flake. Received the Savinelli Baronet Bruyere lumberman minutes ago, with a tin of Plum Cake, the aroma of which... -

Churchwarden's opinions
Anyone looked at MacQueen pipes? (See: http://macqueenpipes.com/) Some have a long wooden stem, for the Middle Earth look. I wonder if they are as fragile as a clay stem? -
January 2010 - What are you smoking?
Got my first shipment of tobacco--all Samuel Gawith--and walked my Leonberger/Chow mix for two miles with the Freehand filled with 1792 Flake. Only needed one relight, and it was equal to the breezy night and then some. Today, very rainy and windy, some Bracken Flake or Kendal Twist. My wife...- jcosmoasp

Rusticated or Sandblasted
There's no accounting for taste, as my dad used to say, but the less refined (read processed), whether it be sugar, liquor, tobacco, women, denim, the better. Give me "country style" sausage, single barrel bourbon, in other words, something with texture that seemingly brings one closer to the... -
Pipes with Shellac/Varnish Finishes
All this pipe finishing discussion leads me to ponder if there's been any research done at the university level or in the wood products industry regarding the actual porosity and "breathability" of wood by species. It seems that the denser the species (especially considering the compaction and... -

Favorite Sherlock Holmes movie for pipe smokers?
Well, my Missouri Meerschaum Freehand arrived via post yesterday, and my order of Gawith tobaccos did not. I found there was a Briar Patch shop about a mile away from my house, and drove there about 3 PM. After some discussion with a friendly tobacconist (Ron Michelson) about "bite" om a "new"...- jcosmoasp

Anyone Ever Smoke a Cigar in a Pipe?
I remember seeing old guys (what I am now) smoking a pipe with a cigar sticking up out of it in rural Wisconsin as a youth. Anyone know of such a practice, and the rationale (if any) for it? Anyone tried it?- jcosmoasp

Cellaring - tobaccos--best practices
Having just re-entered the pipe-smoking realm after a 32-year hiatus, I've been reading much of the web site in search of current wisdom. I've never "cellared" tobacco before and wonder what best practices might be. Any suggestions are most welcome. Bruce- jcosmoasp

Favorite Sherlock Holmes movie for pipe smokers?
Thanks for the welcome, all. My first impression is that the number of choices in pipes, tobaccos, and accessories seems to have grown exponentially, although it may just be a matter of the internet giving a kind of access I never had. I'd scour pipe shops whenever I'd travel the US and...- jcosmoasp

Favorite Sherlock Holmes movie for pipe smokers?
I was watching TBS a couple of weekends ago and watched three Sherlock Holmes movies with Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce played the weekend that the new SH movie with Robert Downey opened. In the film "Sherlock Holmes Faces Death", about supposed murders at a home for retired officers, there is...- jcosmoasp
