    Opinion Needed on Savinelli

    I have read many good things about Savinelli on these pages, and was thinking of trying one. I found an Autograph or two that look good to me. They have a light colored stain. Does anyone have any taste experiences or impressions to share about the taste of this Savinelli stain? I am hesitant...

    "Smoking Can Cause a Slow and Painful Death"

    I bought a pipe from the UK recently. It came with a free can of tobacco. That is what it said on the back of the can. The front had a notice"SMOKING KILLS" taking up half the can. Dunhill's London Mixture which I always meant to try. It is good, but I won't be ordering 25 cans. What a nasty...

    Happy Pipesmokers Day

    I don't know who declared today pipesmoker's day, probably a retailer's association, but it has been done. 10% off at smoking pipes. I added a little to the stash.

    Painting

    Thought I would share my latest painting with you guys. It is lifesize, and I have censored it by cropping out the lower part. Maybe I'll have the next model hold a briar.

    Unusual White Spot Pipe

    Just received this strange and delightful pipe. It is a basic apple shape with octagonal paneling. No style number, #3 bowl, 6" long. I haven't smoked it yet but it will be a favorite for sure.

    Your Opinion Requested

    I need the opinions of a few of you thoughtful reasonable people. I placed a large order for pipecleaners from pipes&cigars, a well regarded vendor by those on this site. Ups sent a substitute driver who left the package inside the front door of the building (no doorman). Since I had already...

    Great Service from SmokingPipes.com

    There was a post recently that questioned the quality of service from smokingpipes.com. In fairness to them I just had a delivery problem with UPS (not unusual)of a smokingpipes order. Being too lazy to actually make the delivery, a substitute driver left the order with a neighbor. This happens...

    Report on David Jones Pipe

    I just picked up my David Jones poker which I hadn't smoked in a while. It is smoking great! If there were a good smoke for the dollar rating he might be on top.

    Banjo on my Knee

    I just saw a film of that name from 1936. Joel Mcrae, Barbara Stanwyck, Walter Brennan, Buddy Ebsen, and the most amusing of them, Helen Westley playing an old granny with a corncob. She was highly animated and really funny, and reminded me of the many pipesmoking grandmothers I saw at the...

    The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

    I just saw the 1967 film of that name. Lee Van Cleef was smoking a bent Peterson, probably a system pipe and it had a P-lip. In which film did he smoke the famous meerschaum?

    Stalin smoked a pipe

    I was just watching the new Oliver Stone history. Footage of Stalin showed him smoking a pipe. It was a large thick billiard, about the size and shape of a Dunhill #6. It proves that all pipesmokers are not peaceful.

    Things I learned during the blackout

    We just got over a 4 day blackout in NYC because of the hurricane. The building still has not turned on the heat & hot water. It was inconvenient but I learned a lot from it. A while back I mentioned that I had tried Blackhouse and was not impressed. I have changed that opinion after smoking...
