    Take 9mm Filter Out After Each Smoke?

    Good day everyone, Although not new to pipe smoking, I am 'new' to pipes with a 9mm filter. I have the paper charcoal filters, and when I've completed a smoke they're obviously quite moist. With a non-filter pipe, I never separate the stem from the pipe, but with the 9mm filter pipe, is it...

    Always the Expensive Pipes…

    Good morning, So I’m sitting here perusing various sites and looking at the pipes being offered. No biggie. It’s what I do. But I’m wondering if I’m not alone with the experience that happens every time? What happens is; I’m looking at just the pipe - I don’t look at the name of the brand or...

    Birinci Meerschaum Pipe

    I was gifted this pipe by a fellow piper and in performing a search on the internet about said pipe I stumbled upon a thread here from 2019 (no further comments on the thread permissible). I thought someone might want to see photos of one of his pipes? I’ve smoked it a number of times with...

    Searching for Volume 5, #2, Summer 2000 of P&T Magazine

    Moderators: I've searched all Forums and hope this is the correct one to post this in? Seems fine. But please review Rule 9 about title formation. I am looking everywhere for an issue of the Pipes and Tobaccos Magazine. Specifically, Volume 5 Number 2 Summer 2000. If anyone knows where I may...

    Antique Store Sightings in Almonte, Ontario

    I had about ten mins to snoop through the store while my wife was busy with errands. I saw the following items of passive interest. The first were a set of dolls from Germany. I know nothing about them, other than that the fellow is enjoying a fine pipe! Secondly, a couple of empty tins of...

    Having fun with my Grandson

    Had a little fun today with my Grandson. I happened to have purchased many years ago a mini-bulldog shaped pipe in New Westminster, British Columbia. It was in a display case in an antique shop. No stampings or anything on it. It’s generic, but cute. I also happened to have a couple bottles of...

    P&T Magazine Index - Working On It

    I’m spending this Good Friday day off at home finally getting around to completing the Excel spreadsheet I created that serves as an index of every article in each volume of the now defunct P&T Magazine. They used to have an .html version available on their website. I downloaded that years ago...

    Remembering the Choices of Old Sites

    Not an exhaustive list by any means, and I think that collectively we could all come up with more sites and forums. I remember as a newbie back in the early 2000's combing through these sites. Who else had fun searching Frenchy's site for that damned cannoli so they could get their discount...

    TPSE Winter Summer 2001

    Long shot here, but does anyone have a copy of Tom Dunn’s Ephemeris Winter Summer 2001? If so, I’m wondering if someone could screen shot a couple of the entries found within those esteemed pages? Thanks, Eric
