    Need Help Identifying A Pipe

    I can't quite make out the name on this pipe. I've made several guesses but couldn't come up with a match on pipephil so I'm hoping someone here can help.

    Tobacco Mylar Storage - One Man's Method

    Not sure if my method is any good or not but I thought I'd post it to give others here some ideas. I don't smoke a lot so it takes me some time to get through a tin but I like to take advantage of sales. When SPC Please Pudding SR is on sale at buy 2 get 1 free, I buy 4 and get 2 free. Here's...

    Why This Site Rocks!

    Of the many reasons, one of the biggest reasons is because of guys like Neal aka: npod! I received a tin of Penzance as a congratulations on my baby gift! One of the hardest to get tins out there (unless you pay through the nose). It's been on my must try list for some time. The generosity and...

    The Rainbow Bridge - For Shelby

    Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and...

    My New Girl

    Lupita joined us Friday night around 10:30 PM at 5 lbs 13 oz. I never knew a person could feel this way. I can't explain it but I suspect those here that already have kids know that I mean. Without further ado, here's my little Loopy:

    Bull Pipe!

    So my wife saw this in an antique store and decided I needed to own it. She giggled as she paid the $9 asking price. So now I own this: At least it's made in Italy from Italian briar and I do see pipes similar to this going for $50-$70 on the bay so not a bad deal. Plus, if anyone visits...

    Questions About Been Wade Special Collection

    I'm looking at getting a nice set of Ben Wade pipes but I don't know much about them. This appears to be a 2 piece collection of Danish made pipes. Does anyone have any idea of about when they might have been made, the carver, etc? Here's some pictures: I see some large variances in Ben Wade...

    Pipe Restoration That Exceeds Expectations

    I posted some pics of a couple of pipes I acquired before having them restored. Well, the restoration is complete and I am simply over the moon about the results. Member piffyr (Anthony Cook of Cook's Fine Pipe Works) did the work so all credit goes to him. (Also, thank you to Sable for...

    Possibly Some Dunhill & Rattrays In Stock

    I just placed an order from Black Cat Cigars for some Rattrays Dark Fragrant & Black Virginia. We'll see if it arrives. Their website shows these plus a couple of other Rattrays in stock and 3 varieties of Dunhill as well. Just a heads up. On a lark I ordered one each of their house brand tins...

    Cheap Meer From Antique Store

    I may not be able to smoke for awhile but that's not going to stop me from enjoying this hobby! Needed to do some walking today so I figured where better than a few antique stores. Came across this cheap screw stem meer with a case for only $10:

    No Smoking For Awhile Due To Surgery

    Had 85% of my stomach removed on Friday. No pipe for at least 3 months. I'll post updates on how things go in the future and probably post a gross stitch/opening pic too! :crazy:

    P&C Larsen Xmas Kit Pipe Tool

    Gracing the cover of my Pipes & Cigars catalog I received today is a very nice W.O. Larsen Christmas kit. Does anyone know if the pipe tool is available by itself anywhere? The kit is a great price but I'd rather not buy it just for the tool.

    Looking For Similar to SPC Plum Pudding SR

    I was hooked and in love with this blend from the first bowl. I have a couple extra tins and will get a few more to cellar for future use. I'm not so much worried about aging as I am simply having it on hand when I want it. That being said, I'm looking for blends with "similar" profiles. I'm...
