    Estate GBD Pipe. Original stem?

    I am bidding on an estate GBD pipe. I can believe that the band is silver but I am wondering if the stem is original. It is almost too clean for the condition of the pipe and does not have the brass GBD emblem on it. I have not bid that much for it and it would probably make a good smoker as...

    Were You Ever A One Blend Smoker?

    While I would never presume to quibble with my friend mso489, I was intrigued by his mention of Spillman Mixture and looked it up on Tobaccoreviews.com. It gets quite a mixed review. Some said it was wonderful and some compared it to dirty socks. As Tom would no doubt agree, tastes vary and your...

    The Name is Tobacco But You Can Call Me....

    When I hear the term "weed" I don't think of tobacco.

    THE HUMIDOR, MONTEREY, CA

    The wife and I visited Monterey several times while our son was stationed there with the Navy. Nice place, reeks of Steinbeck and has a wonderful Aquarium. Well worth the visit.

    The Stateliest Pipe Shapes, Canadian Family

    Alaskanpiper: I find the bulldog to be the single ugliest shape I have yet seen. :-) And yet, he bought a MM Bully on the first day they were announced. :-)

    Remembering Brave Men

    I would not presume the eloquence of Alaskanpiper but will add that I visited the Normandy beaches and the American Cemetary above them in June of 2000. I don't think that many Americans who visit that hallowed ground can avoid finding tears in their eyes when looking out over the sea of crosses...

    Man, some Guys Have it Rough

    Mso489 might be interested too know that both my parents grew up in the same small Oklahoma town and moved out to California to find work in the years after the great depression. I was born in Long Beach then later we moved back to the same Oklahoma town. I think this makes me a real Okie. No...

    Pronunciation of Pipe-things

    As mso489 stated, many of us encounter words while reading and assume a pronunciation that fits our own sensibilities. When I was a kid growing up in a small town in Oklahoma my mother had a number of classical records which I enjoyed very much. Most folks in that town equated "classical" music...

    Chilly morning smoke

    Naralic's web site is here: Mpipes Another pic of the Nautalis pipe from his web site is this: He has some beautiful pipes but none of the prices are listed. I ate in a restaurant that did not list prices on the menu once. Cost me a small fortune. I doubt that I can afford one of his lovely...

    Do You Smoke Clay Pipes?

    I recently ordered a double-walled porcelain pipe from Amazon for $16.50 that smokes very well, the bowl stays cool and it holds a decent amount of tobacco. It can be found here: Muxiang Ceramic Pipe I expected a piece of crap at that price but am really enjoying it. I know, it's from China...

    Peterson Silver Mounted Army has Arrived! (And It's Quirky...)

    In general, I like military mounts. Since they taper slightly I can always get a firm fit that is easy to remove.

    New Old Stock Medico Bulldog

    A little off topic, but I think the 1953/4/5 Studebaker Hawks are still one of the most beautiful cars ever made. I had the chance to buy one in 1960 and passed it up. Didn't have $500. It would have been a good investment.

    How do you smoke

    I probably smoke 4 or 5 bowls each day, usually from a Peterson, Stanwell or Bari that I picked up as estate pipes, and normally a nice cob as well, the new MM Bully being my new favorite. I rotate between Scotty's Butternut Burley, one of several English blends, an aromatic like Lane 1-Q, and a...

    Aged Tins and Planes

    As patiobum suggested, placing the tin in a ziplock bag will keep the tobacco from spilling out if the lid pops open but I doubt that will happen.

    Flavor Spectrum of Burleys

    I am a big fan of Scotty's Butternut Burley.

    Old Gowrie Wins!

    Now that you have whetted my appetite for Old Gowrie, now tell me where I can buy some. Everywhere I look is out of stock.

    Ronson Pipe Lighters At Walmart

    Since Walmart sells cigarettes and a few cigars, they sell a few lighters too. The Ronson sounds like a good deal. I'll look for one the next time I'm in there. Regarding the ship to store, you want to be careful about what you have selected as "my store". I've ordered a lot of things that way...

    Travel Case

    I bought this little leather bag to hold two pipes, pouch of tobacco, cleaners, lighter and tamper. I load it with two cobs and a pouch of Granger and it lives in the glove box of my car. For $12.99 it is a bargain and looks very nice. [/url]
