    Who does love Pete's?

    It seems like with all the cob through Dunhill's discussions, Pete's seem like one of the few commonly loved pipe brands. Lots of people don't like the system but they seem to sell as many that areny system pipes. I am not typically a bent pipe buyer buy think of all the Bents out the, Pete's...

    Pipe Shapes You Don't Get...

    I was sitting outside just now smoking some 1Q laced with Syrian Latakia from an old McCrainies pipe I have. It's a large panel billiard I bought years ago as a part of a clearance pair (the other was a beautiful apple that burnt out). I got it for $25 marketed down from $100 at the shop I...

    Your latest pipe purchase.

    We should start one of these here. This one is mine. An estate Becker. It took a lot of clean up. Whoever had it before me had mis-reamed it so I had to sit and sand it back to round inside. Happy I did, it smokes like a charm.

    A cool djarnett

    Was surfing the bay and found this. I'm oddly drawn to it. The staining is just gorgeous and you certainly don't see a blue pipe every day.

    You know you have a good dog when...

    We were sitting around after dinner and my wife told my son he had to give her a hug and she hugged him. Then he playfully lifted her up and she let out a surprised yelp. Riggs the wonder dog runs over to my son and grabbed his shorts and pulled them! My son set my wife down and grabbed his...

    A great weekend at the Chicago Pipe Show

    The Chicago Pipe Show was great the last two days. Saturday was the busiest by far and there were lots of people milling about from table to table. Kevin from PM was the first guy I meet from the forums at the show and he is a awesome guy. Friendly and as helpful in person as he is here and...

    America, for the win.

    I just saw this poster last night and thought it was photoshopped. Then today I saw a commercial for it and thought, "America for the win indeed!"

    I just saw the ballsiest thing I've ever seen in my life.

    I'm watching Human Planet (highly recommended) and its Episode 6: Grasslands - Roots of Power and they open the show in Kenya with a 65 year old who was showing two younger males how to steal meat from lions. You're watching and thinking "ok, they have some crafty plan" but they don't. They...

    A difference between men and women

    Last night I noticed the beast poking around the garden. Apparently when the gardeners cleared the garden, they uncovered a rabbits den. The dog was sniffing these baby bunnies and I couldn't tell if the momma was coming back. I told my wife about it. She said "We have to save the bunnies!"...

    Gorgeous watches

    Since we pipe smokers share many similar interests, I though I'd share a collection of cool watches I found from URWERK I'm amazed at the craftsmanship and design skill.

    And on the 8th day....

    God created 28 inch LCD monitors monitors for a ridiculously low price. Used some of my Christmas bonus to buy one for myself. I swear I can hear angels when I turn it on! Computer life hasn't changed this much since I got cable internet...

    Pipemen and Integrity

    I've pretty much always had good experiences with pipe people, both individuals and store, mail order, etc. (with the noted exception of one pipe maker) but recently had two exceptionally pleasant experiences. Earlier in the year I sent Rich Lewis 3 or 4 pipes for repair. If you don't know...

    Selling on Craigslist - Dealing with Scammers

    From time to time, I sell stuff on Craigslist. With nearly every item, you get a scammer. Sometimes I scam the scammer for fun. Here is one I've been stringing along for a few days. The below is the email sting...

    The Prodigal Pipe Returns!!!

    There once was a man who had some pipes. One of his pipes, a Becker 2 Club, was young and light, and sandblasted. He was a good looking, dashing Dublin sandblast. He disliked the days spent in the rack until his turn in the rotation came up. One day the Becker apparently left for adventures...

    Esoterica Margate & Pembroke Review

    One can't describe Pembroke without describing Margate, since they are the same blend, but Pembroke includes a French cognac topping. The description for Margate is If you like English blends, you'll find that Margate is a fantastic blend. It's full and rich yet refined and smooth. The...

    Pipe Pet Peeves

    The Snobbery thread got me thinking...I don't consider myself a pipe snob but I do have some pipe pet peeves. In the past year, having attended the Chicago, Milwaukee and Cleveland pipe shows, one of my pet peeves are sellers/collectors who show off their wares asking above market prices and...

    CAO Bella Vanilla

    Had an opportunity to pick up 4 tins of CAO Bella Vanilla today for just $20 and as a bargain hunter, I had to go for it despite some what being disappointed in its brother vanilla from CAO, Moontrance. Unlike Moontrance which is a mixture of different tobaccos, Bella Vanilla is a slightly...
