    Schwarzenegger Smokes Pipe in His Own Image

    That's funny, the pipe doesn't look like the back end of a horse.

    Maigret TV Show Pipe Content

    I always wondered what blend Simenon smoked! My wife is a huge fan of the books so I ordered the set of all the French/Cremer DVDs. Oh my, there a a vast quantity of DVDs: 36, each with two episodes. Wish we'd started the series at the beginning of the pandemic. We find not only the stories...

    Dunhill Unicorn? Or Massive Fail?

    Oh, no, you are dead on regarding prices and inflation and ridiculous Dunhill fervor. The madness of the collectible mindset. I deserve any ribbing I get. And, well, not sure it matters (as it is still more than twice what I have ever paid for a pipe) but negotiated with the kind seller for $550.

    Dunhill Unicorn? Or Massive Fail?

    Ah, well, there it is. I guess that I 1) keep contributing to my 401K, 2) assume my child will not go to college, 3) stay away from exotic pipes and 4) buy my wife something lovely and intensely distracting. Nah, I do like the pipe and am pleased to have purchased it (although not for the...

    Dunhill Unicorn? Or Massive Fail?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Okay my wiser Brothers of the Pipe, tell me if I landed an extraordinary briar or no. You can see the stamping. If I am reading it right, it is a 1979, group 6. No other numbers because...it's a quaint? I have been unable to find any other...

    Dunhill Unicorn or Dunhill Failacorn? Okay my wiser Brothers of the Pipe, tell me if I landed an extraordinary briar or no. You can see the stamping. Seems to be a '79 group 6. No other numbers because...it's a quaint? I have been unable to find any other Dunhills out there close to this...

    Why Prof. Einstein Smoked Pipe This Way?

    The gap has to do with their being frequent smokers. Their pipes ran hot. That heat clearly ended up melting the decorative silver rings.

    Chicago Pipe Show 2020 Plans

    Not to be too simplistic about things but is there some particular reason it could not be reschedule for later in the year? And not too be too optimistic but, well, mightn't it actually work out better scheduled later given the rocky and relatively late confirmation this year?

    Chicago Pipe Show 2020 Plans

    I think my job will bring me near Chicago at the time of the show, but I won't be staying in the area. Is one permitted to just drop in at the show and hang out for a couple of hours?

    Weird JT Cooke; Weird Damage.

    Terrific suggestions, thanks everyone. I did try writing to Cooke through his website. Hopefully a response soon. Other suggestions are much appreciated.

    Weird JT Cooke; Weird Damage.

    Recently received this as a gift from a family member who gave up smoking some years back. I noticed it was damaged so I looked up the maker and was pleasantly surprised to learn about JT Cooke and his pipes...only this one is not like his pipes. From the images you can see where the damage...

    Bamboo Shank Hole

    Good advice, thanks. And I should not ever let any insects smoke my pipes?

    Bamboo Shank Hole

    Maybe. Don't know which insects smoke too hot.

    Bamboo Shank Hole

    The reflected light points to the part of the shank where the node (if that is the right term) is missing.

    Bamboo Shank Hole

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Was just given a lovely Erik Nording from 1998 with a nice bit of bamboo between the briar shank and the stem. As I was inspecting it, I noticed that one of the nodes (a spot where a bamboo branch would emerge) was missing. I held my...

    Viprati PAD

    I picked up a Viprati volcano last summer in Rome at Novelli's. Wow, I thought my volcano was a good example of their work. Your's is fantastic. Is it the light or does the shank get flat on the lower side? Very nice pipe. Congrats.
