    CPCC Ivarson Auctions

    Name and tradition/pipe history. They are fine pipes for sure but these days fine pipes are a dime a dozen. The only thing that sets most artisan made pipes apart these days is the name, IMHO.

    Rant About Chicago Tolls

    Yeah, that happened to me a few years ago. I ignored the bill they sent me in the mail and a few months later received a bill for $300+ For a missed $1.50 toll. I ignored it too. When I go through there I'm always tempted to just skip the toll booths in defiance. Because I have that...

    Hey All You Pipe Carvers

    Your design is totally doable and will pass a cleaner easily. The bowl is sorta mad hatter-ish but tamed down with a more reserved shank. It looks like a good and attractive design.

    A Question For Carvers.

    A good sandblast doesn't necessarily take longer than a smooth. There's a lot of work involved in staining and polishing a smooth to a mirror finish and doing it well. A sandblast doesn't have to be sanded past 180 grit and staining and finishing is really easy. I would rather finish a...

    Spot the replacement stem

    I, too, thought the larger dot stem looked suspicious but I'm not very familiar with 1940's era Dunhills to have said for certain. What I could tell for certain was which stem was made by George because his work is meticulously neat. The large dot stem was too "sloppy" to be made by George...

    Spot the replacement stem

    In the first photo, the one on the right (small dot) is the one you made, George. The reason I know is because you just can't bring yourself to do substandard work and the stems you make are nicer than most originals. :wink:

    What's the Most You Would Ever Spend on a Pipe?

    Whoa, fishbanjo! That gun stock is going to be amazing. Money well spent if you ask me. I do hope you post photos of the finished product.

    Anyone Else Use One Of These?

    I do. Have been for several years now. I use a DOVO Bismarck.

    No New Orleans Pipe Show in 2016

    That is disappointing. I really enjoyed the show.

    What Is This Shape Named?

    Isn't that called a Bilbo?

    Strang Group Buy Interest Thread

    You're right, scraps. I'm uncharacteristically grumpy lately. My sincerest apologies. For some reason, I took offense to your benign post. I hope you accept my apology. It's a silly disagreement. I also apologize for derailing the thread. Please carry on gentlemen.

    Strang Group Buy Interest Thread

    Nate, I was referring to skrapsoftobacco's post denigrating folks for wanting to participate in the group order.

    Strang Group Buy Interest Thread

    Which of the folks that put in their large order do you know have never tried it before? I'm simply stating that assuming that any of us are ordering ignorantly is kind of rude. What business is it of yours either way? If someone wants to order a tobacco that may not be available to them in...

    Motzek Strang Group Buy Update

    Thanks for heading this up, Nate. Like jackswilling, I'm all in. I look forward to hearing from you.

    Strang Group Buy Interest Thread

    I ordered a large amount because I have smoked it thanks to a generous friend and I really like it. Enough to purchase enough to last me a good while. I don't horde tobaccos unless they are ones that I really enjoy. I found it to be one of those desert island tobaccos. So, I wouldn't assume...

    One of the coolest things I've ever watched

    Love that. I like the one who gets hearing aides and hears his mother's voice for the first time too. Amazing!

    Now it's official - Herbert Motzek wants to quit

    I was recently gifted a sample of Strang and man is it good. I could smoke it every day. I sure hope it continues to be available. I'd love to stock up.

    Oriental Forward, Light on the Latakia: Looking for Suggestions

    McClelland's Orient 996 is a good choice for someone who prefers virginia and oriental forward English blends where latakia plays a background role. The latakia is very light handed in this one and Bright and Red Virginias intermingle with Yenidje and other orientals. The latakia is Syrian.

    Single piece of wood?

    A single piece all-briar pipe is do-able but sacrifices have to be made with the airway diameter or the bit thickness. In order for the bit to be thin and the airway throughout open, a stem has to be drilled from the tenon end. The height of a traditional stem slot on most pipes with a nice...
