    Funkiness x 4! (From Taurus Auction)

    I had to change my bidding method since I was out of the country and didn't have good interwebz access often. I just entered my max price and hoped for the best. Sort of a set it and forget it method. I bid on 8 pipes total and won 4. One of the pipes I didn't expect to get so it was really...

    PAD! One Heckuva Day!

    It's been an interesting day to say the least! Solar installers showed up at 7:00 this morning and then tonight when I got home... Apparently everything decided today was the day to be delivered: One Savinelli Autograph freehand, one Savinelli Mister A, and four Savinelli Punto Oro Gold...

    The Magic Ashtray!

    You guys need to get yourselves one of these things. They're amazing! It was almost completely full when I came in from smoking last night but tonight when I went outside to smoke not only was it empty, it was clean! This thing is as good as my magic coffee table, my magic sink, and my...

    Some Unique Cognacs

    @OzPiper Here's some unique bottles I recently just received I mentioned in another thread. My shipment originally got sent back to France by USPS but the seller graciously reshipped the order to my brother in Germany and he's visiting and brought the bottles with him. If the seller hadn't...

    Strambach Schubert On Its Way!

    I've been eyeing this one for a little while now and lat night I decided to go ahead and order it. I'm glad I did since I don't see any more available after completing the transaction. (In fact I see far fewer Strambachs overall than I did a year or so ago.) Can't wait for this to get here:

    The Taurus Auction Catalog Is Up!

    It is an astonishing catalog! Where the heck did they get these pipes? I got the email a little bit ago. I gave it a quick scan and then logged in and registered. I'm not as hopeful about winning anything this time since I believe many of these pipes will easily be out of my range. In fact...

    It's Time For A Smoke & A Shiver!

    It's a rather comfortable 83 degrees tonight so the shiver will have to come from a scary story or two. This is one of my favorite times of the year and I'll post some different stories throughout the month and please do feel free to post your own favorites for the theme. I think it should be...

    New Negoita From Al Pascia!

    I've had my eye on this beauty for some time and recently sold a few items so I was able to order it. Luckily, and quite surprisingly, no one bought it before I did.

    Didn't Expect To Find This At REI

    Stopped in REI at The District with my wife today at lunch time and found this little guy doing some shopping too: Don't let the picture fool you, he was actually only about 1.5" long. Cute little guy.

    A Savinelli Autograph Hat Trick!

    Found these 3 Autographs on on an Italian site called Tabaccheria Guzzi. The prices were great and shipping took under a week overall. I placed the order and a little while later I emailed them and asked if I could add a tamper to the order to save shipping. They said yes and that they would...

    Just A Little Shout Out About SP.com & Cigars

    I order a lot of pipe stuff from Smoking Pipes but most of my cigar stuff usually comes from elsewhere. A little while ago they had a deal on Fuente cigars so I ordered a box and put in the notes I wanted to be sure to get a complete, unopened box. They emailed me and said they had a complete...

    Question About Larsen Pearl Grades

    Are there any markings that designate a particular pipe a pearl grade or do you have to just know their grading criteria?

    A Picnic & A Pipe!

    Decided to get out of the house and head for the hills today. Got a nice spot at Cathedral Rock picnic area on Mt Charleston and the weather was a beautiful 85 degrees with a hint of a breeze. Fired up some SG Sam's Flake in my new Xenomorph meer by S Yanik: The Capri Sun straw...

    Xenomorph Inspired Pipe By S. Yanik On Its Way!

    I just couldn't resist! Fans of the movie "Aliens" should see the connection right away yet it still has an artistic freehand look as well. These shape/style pipes from Mr. Yanik are fairly large pieces of meer which is something I really like. This one, at 3.5" tall, will have a nice deep...
