    Walnut Pipe Rack Done!

    Just finished my third pipe rack. Made it out of walnut wood this time and finished it with some boiled linseed oil to bring out the richness of the wood.

    Pipe Rack Question... Might Refuel PAD...

    So I have this row of open slots on this old pipe rack I bought last summer and I'm having trouble getting most of my pipes to fit in there. Just to have a place for them and occupy the space, I have a really small basket pipe I picked up last year and my first cob. The only other pipes I own...

    New Hat, New Pipe, New Blend

    Just ordered this new hat from Goorin Bros. and I love it! It's a nice felt hat that I've wanted to buy for a while. Also bought myself a Washington Rob Roy with a bent stem. Smoked it for the first time yesterday and it's a great little smoker. So much in fact, I decided then and there to...

    MM Carolina Gent Arrived

    In addition to all my other briars I've bought the past week, I added a new pipe to my stable of cobs. A Carolina Gent that finally got restocked and I have been wanting one to add to my collection of MM collaboration pipes. I now own a Dagner Poker, Charles Towne Cobbler and a Carolina Gent...

    Just Opened My New Peterson Roundstone Silver Spigot

    I am beyond impressed. I love this new little pipe. It feels so light and I really am happy to finally own a silver spigot. Been wanting one for a long time now and I finally have it, with a very nice sandblast and a beautiful stem. Makes me wish I had some Irish Flake on hand to smoke in it...

    Pipe That Whistles? Not The Tune I Want To Hear

    Okay, so, my St. Patrick's Day Peterson is a bit of a whistler. I dry puffed on it before I ever filled the bowl and heard it whistle, but I've got a few others that whistle a bit too until you load it up. I filled it with tobacco today and fired it up. She whistled through the entire bowl. Will...

    Just Snagged A New Peterson Roundstone Spigot (87)...I'm Going Broke

    Alright, I have seriously got to stop buying pipes now. I've bought 5 and was gifted 1 within this past week...but I saw this Peterson Roundstone Spigot 87 and it was singing my name... I blame all of you... You all know who you are... Bunch of enablers... The PAD struggle is real... I just...

    My New Ardor Urano Fantasy

    I finally got by to pick up my Ardor Urano Fantasy today, and I got to take some nice pictures of it finally once I got it back to my office. She's a beauty and feel so light in my hand. It clenches like a dream and fits my new Northwest Gentlemen red Bison leather pipe roll like a champ. I also...

    Just Smoked The First Bowl Of Something I Didn't Like

    I was recently gifted some samples by a friend and I have been smoking my way through them, trying a different blend each day. Today was the day I discovered a blend I just didn't really like that much. The blend in question was BriarWorks Pete's Beard's Blend. It smelled pretty good from the...

    The New St. Patrick's Day 307 Is Now Going to Be Mine!

    Just pulled the trigger on this beauty. It'll be my first P-lip as well as St. Patrick's Day pipe, so this could be interesting. I loved how the grain was still nice and visible on this one through the green. Can't wait to get her and smoke her!

    What Do You Consider An "Artisan Pipe Carver" To Be?

    I am curious. I see the term "Artisan Pipe Carver" thrown around a lot when describing a carver. What constitutes being one? Is it how much their pipes cost? Is it the method in which they're carved? I'm asking after watching a fella unbox an Ardor in a video and saw one of the comments say that...

    It Was Perfect Weather For Tamper Making This Weekend!

    So, I made some more tampers this weekend. Made a new one out of Zebra wood, and I must say, I'm really enjoying the work I'm doing with Zebra wood. It's almost magical to carve it and watch as the darker grain slowly reveals itself. I worked on my Zebra wood tamper on Saturday and celebrated...

    Any Good Recommendations For A Nice Knife For Plug And Ropes?

    I have a couple of knives that do the trick and they're pretty sharp, but I still feel like I'm not "slicing" through my ropes and plugs as well as I'd like to. Sometimes I feel like I might even be just mashing through it, but this partially serrated Gerber is nice for all sorts of other uses...

    Another Something I Learned Today: Bo Nordh Original Designs

    I often get caught up in the beauty of some of the pipes I see and fail to actually discover why a pipe is called this or that and how it came to be. While browsing the recently added fresh pipes sections over at SP's this morning I saw one pipe that described it's shape as an Elephant's Foot...

    Something I Learned Recently: The Cherrywood

    So, when I first started smoking my pipes again, I got interested in the poker style. I kept seeing the term "Cherrywood" pop up in my search results over and over again. Now a lot of them were sharp looking little pipes, but I kept thinking "Geez, that's an awful lot of money for a pipe made...

    Are C&D Bulks Not As Good?

    I just took a browse through SP's yesterday and added a whole bunch of bulk blends to my wish list that I wanted to try. I searched for tobaccos that were both medium to very strong in taste and strength. I was surprised to say that by only looking at the type of tobacco, strength, and taste as...

    Made A Single Pipe Stand Today

    Just got out in the garage today with the idea that I was going to sit my ass in a chair and make a few new tampers. When I moved this pile of pine left over from building my dad a side table for Christmas, I thought about those little collapsible single pipe stands you can buy for just a few...

    Ardor Fantasy About To Be Added To My Collection

    I'll start by saying that I was really jonesing for a new meerschaum. I was in the hunt, contacted several makers to see what I might have made, and then it hit me to take a browse through my local shop's cases to see if anyone had something I wanted before I had one made. I sometimes forget to...

    Kaywoodie New Old Stock Saxon Stem Oxidizing Already

    I bought one of the new old stock Saxons by Kaywoodie was up for sale back just after Thanksgiving. It's a fantastic pipe and their service was spectacular, but unfortunately the stem has begun to oxidize on me after only a couple of months. When it arrived, the stem was beautiful and like...

    In Search Of New Meer, Are Andreas Bauer Meerschaum Pipes Expensive?

    I'm on a search for a new meerschaum that I plan to put a lot of money into for what I want. I've really been wanting one with a silver spigot and an amber stem. Nothing fancy, just a simple profile, probably just a billiard style and I've stumbled across a brand that I haven't heard of, but...
