    Antique/flea market find

    Lastest antique flea market junk shop find. Paid $22 for it. The pipes are mine and are included just for scale. It holds for pipes. (I did look but couldn't find a general antique shop/flea market find discussion)

    Any Bicyclists Out There?

    I saw the discussion about bikers and though, "How many bicycle riders are out there?) Growing up in SE Texas, I and my friends rode our bikes all over the place. Some of us even rode our bicycles to school until we got our license and could drive. I continued riding while stationed in Seattle...

    What Labels Are Affected By MacBaren & Sutliff Demise

    Badbriar asked an interesting question in his thread "Are We Really Losing That Much With The Closures of MacBaren and Sutliff”" So while having coffee this morning I logged into tobaccoreviews and did a search to see just what the Sutliff Tobacco Company manufactures for other...

    Just got this in an email. I guess that means all the tinned tobacco are going away.

    Rattray’s Yule Pipe comments

    First let me say I am really enjoying my experience with the 2024 Rattray’s Yule pipe I bought myself for Christmas. It is a nice looking pipe and without using the filter it has smoked like a well broken in pipe instead of a new one. I do not regret buying it. However, there are two things I...

    Where To Find Mylar Bags

    I've decided to try mylar bags for storing tobacco. I have questions: 1. Where to find them? 2. Are they heat sealed or sealed a different way? 3. Has anyone used the vacuum seal bags like for a food saver?

    Who Invited Francine For A Visit?

    As of the 10 AM CDT update from the National Hurricane Center, New Orleans is on the outer edge of the "cone" with the path aimed just to the east of Baton Rouge.

    So, We Did a Thing...

    A couple of months ago the New Orleans Pipe Club decided to make a pipe club pilgrimage to The Country Squire since we have a number of members who have never been there. After several members had family or work events come up, there were only seven of us to make the trip. Jon David Cole, the...

    Well, This Makes Me Mad.

    So I was going to smoke my Savinelli Gingers Favorite yesterday until I picked it up from the pipe stand and this happened. Now I'm having to search for a good glue and see if I can put it back together. I'm just glad this wasn't a new pipe.

    Help Identify This Pipe Shape

    I have an Ascorti Business KS that I picked up at a junktique shop a number of years ago. It's a great smoker for me and I've never really given the shape much thought before now. I've examined it under a bright light with a magnifying glass but I don't find a shape number. I've looked at a...

    Mastercraft Question

    I was looking through some the estate pipes I've found over the years and found a Mastercraft I had forgotten I had. Probably because it smaller than most of the pipes in my weekly rotation. Anyway, the stamps on the bottom does say Mastercraft and what I read as Dark Grain or Bark Grain. The...

    We held our February New Orleans Pipe Club meeting at Mayan Imports in Metairie last night. Apparently the shop recently did an inventory and found a few pipes from when it was the Tinderbox location. They decided to raffle off the pipe at our meeting last night. I won. What did I win? An...
