    Warning: Fraudster on eBay Selling Counterfeit Eltangs, Possibly Castellos Etc.

    Since I believe that I could not possibly tell a genuine Eltang from a Chinese fake, at least by looking, anyway, I would think that I would contact Mr. Eltang or any other high end carver, and ask him if the pipe in question was his or not. I remember that I had contacted Rad Davis on one...

    New York CIty - Manhattan Tobacconist?

    Barclay Rex on East 42nd street is worth a visit. Very small shop, but they have some rare tobaccos, on occasion. Since you will be in lower Manhattan, you may want to try Katz's deli on East Houston street for the best hand cut pastrami sandwich in all of NYC, if not the world. I'm not...

    Myths, Misconceptions, and Other Fooey

    Cosmic Very thoughtful response. I would say, however, that when I was a 'newbie' I would look for advice anywhere. Unlike cigar smoking, pipes are much more complex, at least when you are starting. Cigars, cut the end, light the thing, smoke it. Yes there are different cutters and a jillian...

    Hey Crusader That looks pretty darn nice ! I'd like to see more pics and possibly you could design a pipe cabinet like that? I already have a Savanelli cabinet for 36 but would love another one

    A bit on the serious side - how long have you been smoking and family reaction

    Both my wife and daughter, who is now aged 31, generally leave me alone but their thoughts are quite clear-- 'please stop smoking' My wife really doesn't mind when I purchase another pipe but I try to keep the tobacco purchases quiet and sneak them in the house I realize they love me and are...
