    A Day Spent With My Brother

    My brother is 18 years older than me and the only other pipe smoker in my family. He is responsible for me having this hobby. We don't get to see each other very much, but we talk on the phone a bit. The conversation usually turns to pipe smoking and that we should get together for a smoke. We...

    A Close Call

    That is crazy! I am glad to hear everyone was okay. I had the same thing happen to me a few years back. It was a case of the mechanic not tightening the lugs.

    Walker Pipe Repair... And a Nice Afternoon Smoke

    I almost forgot about this pipe... It was one of my first estate buys and I snapped the tenon off about ten minutes after I received it. I only paid $20 for it so I thout no big deal and threw it to the side and chalked it up to experience. A few months ago I purchased a new Chacom Prince and...

    Drying and Flavor... Some Observations From a Newbie

    I have been bulking up on my tobacco stores as of late. The winds of change and tobacco legislation and created a perfect storm. It has allowed me permission From SWMBO to lay in a supply of tobacco. I am not a prolific smoker so a tin will typically have time to sit around and wait while I...

    Just Opened My Very First Tin of Escudo

    I really don't feel like I am getting walloped with perique with Escudo. As a matter of fact I am surprised to hear it has that much.. I am fond of MacBaren Virginia no 1. Will be sure to try the Newmiester. @murf PS is my go to blend... If you like Virginias you will probably like it as...

    Just Opened My Very First Tin of Escudo

    Let me start by saying that I have been bitten by the hoarding bug and have readying for tobaccagedden... This seems to be the most popular, and most depressing topic on the boards lately. I have been buying a bit each month, some bulk and a few tins. When I find a tin of something I have read...

    New Weird Meerschaum Pipe

    I dunno what attracted me to this pipe... It is very... Rustic. I thought maybe I'd try my hand at fixing it up, or I might smoke it as is is.... it only cost me $23 on EBay... it said it was meerschaum...when I unpacked it and looked at it I thought it might be bone, but it isn't... it looks...

    Lots of pipe work... Following number six's idea

    Reading numbersix's post about refinishing a Barclay Rex. I realized I have a few pipes laying around that needed some attention. They were basically sotting unused due to some small issue. I had bought a BR on Ebay that had some nice grain, but smoked very wet and the finish was just a little...
