    is there an ongoing topic that covers....

    posting pictures of your pipe "in use". I know we have one to post our mugs to while smoking a pipe, and occasionally one pops up for plain bragging or for selling. But there is something, at least to me neat to see the pipe doing what it is supposed to be doing. Not all polished up for prom...

    dedicated Grabow filter users...

    I have about 25-30 standard Grabow filters I will mail out to anyone (US only) who wants them. Please only folks who will use them up, not someone who wants them just in case he wants to try a filter some day. It won't be a high priority mail out, and I will likely send them unboxed in a ziploc...

    "Uncle Arthurs" - pic heavy....

    These are the Uncle Arthur's I received today. These are my "Ward Cleaver" styled pipes (my name, not his). Conservative pipes, sized and shaped for a quiet smoke after work with the paper, Sunday morning with coffee on the back porch with the wife, or any time a man just needs to sit and chew...

    My latest order..all come and show you care.....

    Well, I ordered a 1/4 pound of Lame Aye Kew (sounds like a bigger amount than 4 oz., which is why that unit reference was so popular...). Can't go wrong with Laym I Que. I also ordered an 1/8th of a pound of the 4-noggins Double Fantasy, based upon a recommendation here. I can assure you that if...

    The Good Life

    The Old Lady, Sir Hubert, Treebeard, the scooter, and the wrong damn beer. I guess the waitress don't hear so good, but what the hell. It was cold and the wife was buying....

    Zippo Question - buying a new one

    Okay, I have a few Zippo lighters already, but I don't use them on the pipe. Most are either from my cigar days, or left overs from my dad. I thought about getting a pipe insert, or a brand new lighter with a pipe insert, but: 1. Have read here that the fluid based pipe inserts don't light...

    quick pipe restore - pics and thoughts

    Bought a TWC "lockmount" off ebay for 99 cents a month or two back. Stinger pipe, plenty good smoker, but also plenty rough around the edges. I decided to utilize it for some experimentation on refinishing. Here is what she looked like with a basic cleaning job (olive oil and that is about it)...

    "New" estate Grabow "Savoy" -non filter pipe-thoughts

    Long title for a brief review. This is an estate pipe, Grabow "Savoy", only this is an older one with a stinger insert, and will not accept any filters. I have no idea what the age range is on this, and maybe one of the Grabow experts might be able to put it in a certain date range. This one is...

    Carey Magic inch pipe

    just bought one, used in nice condition, off of Ebay. Not sure why. But I did. $9 altogether, for a pipe that retails in the $45+ range. I need to stop this.

    Best (late) Fathers Day present ever

    My ex wife's mother in law paid for the entire family to go on a cruise. Not me, mind you, just my kids and all the rest of her family. wives, husbands, etc. The cruise is about a week, and Fathers Day occurs in the middle of it, so my 16 year old son and my 11 year old daughter feel obligated...

    Testing the tobbacoo envelope

    Ordered some "Golden Sliced" and some Escudo Navy, along with my standard 2 oz. of LIQ. My brain may soon be fried, as the Haddos Delight can get me spinning at times. If I don't like it, I will flush all my stash, and rely on various cherry blends bought in heads shops.

    How to refinish a pipe?

    Got a 99 cent briar off Ebay a while back. Haven't even smoked it yet. Would like to use it as a refinish project. What are the basic procedures for a refinish? I am assuming along the lines of a sand down, reapplication of a coating, and polishing / waxing. Any help or pointing to relevant...

    Grabow Addict

    Just bought another vintage Grabow, a Savoy with a stinger, off of Ebay. Something I had sworn off. Of course, a vintage Grabow is sort of a dubious description, but hey. One thing i do know, is that I smoke only the finest of $25 pipes, and anyone who smokes anything else other than *possibly*...

    Straight Smooth version. Pics aren't great, but the close up, although blurry, is indicative of the true color of the pipe. also came with one of the Captain Black tampers as a gift.
