Found In My "Old Pipes" Pipe Rack
Going through old pipes, getting ready to go on vacation and trying to figure what I'm taking. I found this and remember getting it in the mid 70's. It's about 6 3/4" long. On the bottom of the shank: SOBORG, Hand Carved, Made In Denmark. I haven't smoked it in years, but I will..... It's... -

40th Anniversary Camper Trip "October"
June and I are planning a trip to celebrate our 40th year together. I really hate to move the camper out of the fish camp very often (took it out last year) but we are headed toward the Brush Creek area just east of Nashville to visit her Mom first. Will be there about 6 - 8 October, just a...- topd

They Found A Way To Punish Me....
So, June is at work and I'm out front changing the plugs on the old Chevy truck, and the cooler starts hollering at me. So inside I go for a cool one and realize I've been had. All the kids are grown and gone but we have new kids that are as about as much work and pain! I've wanted to take a...- topd

PAD - Unfinished Italian Pot
After reading Mr. G.L. Peace's article not to long ago about breaking in a new pipe, I just had to have a new brier to break in. I always love breaking in a new pipe, so I ordered an unfinished pot from PipesandCigars.com. An inexpensive pipe, but quit a lovely one. After smoking a few bowls... -
G. L. Pease - Samarra
I have been doing my danged best to go with just one tin of tobacco open at a time so I could concentrate on just that but have been having the hardest time. After 40 years of having several tobacco's to choose from, it's been hard. But I finished two tins yesterday and was down to three open...- topd

Thought you would enjoy this educational moment in American history. Tobacco Smoke Enemas (1750s – 1810s) The tobacco enema was used to infuse tobacco smoke into a patient’s rectum for various medical purposes, primarily the resuscitation of drowning victims.

You'll Hate Me For This Tobacco Review...
I just opened a jar that I've had in the cellar since 1983, some tobacco that was given to me as a going away present from my troops during one of many transfers from one unit to another. I filled a pouch and stuffed a cob, as it has quit a sweet smell and I don't usually like aromatics, and...- topd

Five Brothers....
This isn't exactly going to be a review, but passing on some good info for the more experienced smokers that may be interested. I smoke 8 to 12 bowls a day or more, in other words, all day. The smokers that enjoy one or two may not be interested at all, as Five Brothers isn't all that...- topd

The General Corncob from Missouri Meerschaum
Ya know every other week or so there are questions about Cobs. I just got my normal monthly order in from Missouri Meerschaums and thought I'd elaborate. I get 3 or 4 pipes and start breaking them in for future use in the woods or on the lake. I've put a Forever Stem on this General and taken... -
Meerschaum From Greece
I won this on eBay from a guy in Kefalonia, Greece. This is how it arrived... And after clean-up... I'm thinking it's from the 19th century or a little later. Any thoughts on what the little knob under the pipe is? I have an idea... But it's only a theory. -
A Peek at My Non-Meerschaums
I suspect that those that have come to know me think I only have meerschaum pipes.... I thought I'd post some of my other pipes..... (Some Pete's) (Misc... Nording, Cavicchi, GBD) (Dunhill) (Rhodesian, Bulldogs) (Calabash) (And of course.... Cobs!) -
One Rock Out, Two To Go!
I had surgery this morning (July 25th) to remove three large stones from my left kidney. Two are the size of a dime, and the third was nickle sized. They went in through my back and got the nickle, but had to pull out and regroup because of the amount of blood loss. I'll have to go back and do...- topd

Personal Safety.... How Much Do You Think Ahead?
Headed to the lake camp this morning I passed through Springhill, Louisiana. Right through down town. I live in Arkansas, but head down that way to get a 20 pack or two as my county is dry. (I'm only 8 miles from the state line). Going through town, I saw this tanker truck and a garden hose...- topd

"Ghosting!" .....Now I'm a Believer!
I started to put this under the "Pipe Discussion" page, but after thinking a minute or so decided on the "Tobacco Discussion" area of our forum because it was a tobacco type 'ghost' that made me a believer.

A Real Honest To Gosh Snob, But Proud Of It!
I've seen plenty of posts about "Pipe Snobs" or just snobs in general, and I may well be one. It depends on how you read and take this. I'm mainly writing this for the young guys, and that the older fellas take this at face value is my wish. I'm taking a risk here with people misunderstanding...- topd

A Little Early For Scotch, But.....
The mail man just dropped by and my Fikri Baki Pipe was in his hands. Tommy (a pipe smoker) came in to watch me open the package. 'I love making him drool'. Mr. Baki has again made a wonderful pipe with Deniz Ural being a great importer and fast shipper. (I just ordered it Monday). This pipe is... -
My New, Old Dunhill
Just received a Dunhill I won on eBay yesterday. It's a 1932 production sandblasted Double Patent Shell Briar series finish, "LB" shape stamped or "Large Billiard". It's about a group 4 in size but not stamped as such. They didn't stamp group sizes in the 30's. Dunhill used to sub grade their LB... -
Experimenting with a Meerschaum...
I may have posted before that I had never put beeswax on any of my pipes, but after reading several articles here, I decided to try the 'Fred Bass' method on at least one. This is a 'Sevket' I've been smoking for only a couple of years and decided it was the test subject. After heating the...
