    A New Fikri Baki Meerschaum Arrived Today...

    No, I happened across it while browsing The Country Squire's website, a B&M in Mississippi, it must have been sitting around their shop for some time, the silver band was completely black when I got it, lucky score for sure.

    Any Experience With Brebbia Sun Line?

    I don't have Brebbia Sun but have considered them, great looking pipes, I think a lot of the nay say about meerschaum lined pipes comes from misconceptions and misinformation not actual experience, I currently only own one meer-lined bowl (my Falcon) at it's great, they eliminate the hassles of...

    Two New Peterson Estates

    Both are great looking pipes, the Rosslare XL02 didn't happen to come from Smokingpipes did it, saw one in the estate section there about two weeks ago at a great price, if I would have had the funds at the time I would have grabbed it.

    I Want Your Opinion

    That's a Ashford series right? Great looking pipe, I have a Ashford B51 Poker Sitter, not to be a bummer but I have been having some issues with lacquer finish coming off, hope you don't experience the same, not a huge deal but not exactly cool either.

    Middle-Earth Tobacco

    I'm not a fan of Tewksbury's Hobbit's Weed either I think it should have been named "Cherry Lava", I only made it through half a bowl before the tongue bite became unbearable, the Just for Him Middle Earth Series on the other hand are actually good IMO, I don't really get into the theme so much...

    Middle-Earth Tobacco

    I "know" Nat Clark through Instagram, I traded him a tobacco humidor a while back for some samples of some of his blends and received them with no problems.

    A WDC Meerschaum Bulldog Arrived Today...

    Oh yeah, smoking my first bowl in it right now (Escudo) I don't/wouldn't own a pipe that I wouldn't smoke :)

    A WDC Meerschaum Bulldog Arrived Today...

    This WDC Bulldog arrived today, the exterior of the case is in rough shape but it did it's job, the pipe is in great shape, it features a gold plated shank band and rim cap. I'm not 100% sure but I think the stem is made of real amber, any info on dating it is welcome...

    A Massive Meerschaum Arrived Today...

    For that kind of money it should be in very good condition IMO.

    A Massive Meerschaum Arrived Today...

    Good question, I was wondering the same thing, likely straight Virginia by the original owner, guessing that would have been the smoke of the era (any other ideas?), the stem did have a sweet aromatic smell when cleaning it, that was probably from one of it later owners, the mystique a pipe like...

    A Massive Meerschaum Arrived Today...

    It smokes very well, nice and cool, the isn't too hard to clean, you just remove it from the bowl and use a Churchwarden pipe cleaner from both ends, light the pipe is the tough thing about it, the cap blocks your view of the bowl so you can't really see what you are doing.

    A Massive Meerschaum Arrived Today...

    I have made around 8 pipes and have made/repaired several stems for these antiques pipes, I'm thinking about offering it as a service.

    After closer scrutiny the letters appear to be "DH", maybe it's a Dunhill ;) Haha.
