    What Turned You on to Pipes?

    The beauty of them really. I had been smoking cigars for years and would see them at the shops. I bought a Bjarne Viking Classic based on looks and a bag of aromatic and non aromatic. Tried several and it just didn’t click right. Pipe sat for 12 years or so. Then an online member in a...

    I Need to Deep Clean My Pipes

    Pipe retort would be the final thing. If you’ve done all the rest, that’s going to be it. After that, smoke your favorite strong tobacco a lot in it until that’s all you get. After that, go find another. :)

    Kaywoodie pipes

    I have one. Got it a couple months ago by accident. I didn’t pay too much attention to the dimensions. Guy thought he was pulling on over on me. I was pretty happy. It’s even been smoked. Lmao!! I couldn’t believe that it was even possible. Yeah, has a stinger and all.

    Reasonable Value for a NOS Kaywoodie Regent.

    Kaywoodies are all over the board. I don’t know if there’s a reasonable value. I see one sell for 20 one day and 150 the next. A lot of collectors and if they’re missing that piece … Regents don’t pop up too often. If you saw one in ok condition on eBay and paid $50-80 I’d say it was a decent...

    Cleaning pipe after smoke

    I started off cleaning every time. Some do that and some never do. Find your style and where on the curve you want to be. :) - me, I run a cleaner through every couple of bowls and scrape out any dottle. Do a decent deep cleaning every few months. I have a large rotation so don’t need to...

    Jim's Sutliff 2021 Cringle Flake Review.

    I smoked a few tins of 2020 and have 5 left. Wish I had bought a lot more. Description of this years sounds great too. This time I’ll buy the limit right a couple times if I can.

    Rouxgaroux Time Again… Who Bought Some?

    As I said, I liked it but put it in jars for 6 months and after getting another lb, I have grabbed that jar out of a box and it is hitting the spot perfectly. Burns a bit fast for me so I’m packing it tighter now and making sure my cadence is slow but I’m happy. Waiting for it to get here. :) I...

    What Got You Into Pipe Smoking?

    I bought my first pipe 12 years before I really started smoking pipes. I was into cigars for many years already and at 30 or so, I always thought they were just beautiful pieces of art. I was the cigar shop and randomly bought a Viking Classic Bent Apple. They gave me some bulk in aromatic...

    Bench Grinder With Beall Buff System - Hot, Burning Oil Smell Help

    Hey all. So when I got into restoring, I didn’t know a lot about anything machine or repair related. I went for cheap since it was a new hobby and got an 8” bench grinder from Wen for $150 (variable speed down to 2k) and the Beall wood buff system. I used it for 2 years for buffing and waxing...

    O.T.C. or Codger Blends.

    A customer sent me a jar of Prince Albert. I have prob. 50 blends open here but I’ve never had any OTC / Codger tobacco. It was a really nice gesture. I tried it and was surprised. I really liked it. It’s super mild of course but it fits a niche in my day or kills a craving sometimes. I...

    Regarding Screw-In Tenons Like Kaywoodie, Grabow… What Do You Do If Stem Won’t Stay Tight?

    Hey guys. I work almost entirely with screw-in joints like the Ajustomatic. I had a customer ask me how to fix their (new to them) very nice Grabow that kept coming loose. Now, I’ve always found that after a few smokes, the situation solves itself. For an immediate fix, I will look for...
