2015 Smoking Hi-lights
My ah-ha moment was this past summer when I got to visit the Mastro de Paja factory. The Manager, Alberto, sat and smoked with me for an hour and during that time he noticed that I was not using my tamper properly. Indeed, decades of smoking and I never had the hang of it. He patiently showed...- rodo

London Pipe Scene
Hi JPMCWjr. Thanks for the offer. I'm not going over until May so plenty of time. Can't believe that I'm getting that close and yet all seems to conspire to keep me from getting a pipe. (I think my wife would say that is divine intervention.) From what I can see online, St. James Market is...- rodo

Barclay Rex Pipe
About a year ago I had a chance to purchase a BR pipe on ebay. Didn't think that much of it at the time, pretty cheap buy for an unsmoked pipe. I knew little about BR but looked them up. Now my curiosity is piqued. BR still sells pipes at the their NYC shops but they no longer make those... -
London Pipe Scene
I don't suppose anyone knows how to get in touch with Mr. Marshall? He does not seem an email kind of chap. I find myself in the frustrating situation of having five hours to kill in London, a long layover, and I could make it to the market, but, alas, it will be a Sunday afternoon. Maybe I...- rodo

Pesaro and Mastro de Paja
Last month I was in Italy for work and managed to take a day to make the drive out to the coast to Pesaro, home of several pipe makers including Mastro de Paja. I had written to Maurizio and received a warm invitation to visit the factory. As the factory is in a huge industrial park, I managed... -

Pesaro Factory visits?
So, no one on the forum has been to Pesaro and visited the Maestro de Paja factory? They replied to an email and said I could come for a visit and I could even buy a pipe from the factory. Well, if the trip happens I'll post about it and some pics.- rodo

Any pipe smokers in the Little Rock area?
Hi Guitrsnglocks, yep, I live relatively nearby, Conway. I'm just far enough from the University pipe shop to not make it there (plus I've still a few wee ones at home). As I understand it, Saturday morning is the time to stop in. Been a while since I was told that but it used to be the time...- rodo

Pesaro Factory visits?
Thanks for the suggestions. Have you visited a studio before? Just wondering about etiquette. I'd like to visit a studio workshop but, whew, I don't want to feel pressured into buying a $700 pipe! Is there an expectation that a visitor will make a purchase?- rodo

Pesaro Factory visits?
Gents (and smoking ladies, so to speak), I'm off to Italy late in the summer to spend a month working in Tuscany. Pesaro is but two hours from where I will be and I thought a trip would be in order. Here's the catch: while I can find the names of pipe makers from Pesaro, and even addresses, I...- rodo
