    Show Us Your Chris Morgan Pipes

    I’d rather not include Bones or Workshop pipes… just the one-off, handmade pipes from Chris Morgan. I’ve not personally seen a TON of his pipes, though when I do it seems he has a very unique approach to shaping, and an almost unconventional feel for grain. Although orientation is standard...

    Pipe Event at Kremers in Louisville *December 6*

    If you’re a pipe smoker in the Ohio Valley, roundabout Louisville, Kremers Tobacco Shop is hosting a trunk show of sorts- December 6 from 10am - 3pm. On top of deals happening inside the shop, there will be vendors setting up on the back patio/parking lot. Confirmed vendors so far include Bad...

    Blue Riband Bummer

    Found this (shape 13) Comoy’s Blue Riband on the bay. I had done business with the seller before, so he gave me a lower price “off-site”. It arrived today and under inspection I assume it has to be Cadogan era. C is not a 3-part, and there’s a random J stamped on the shank near the mortise...

    Gawith & Hoggarth Rodeo

    Here’s a new one to me.. Dropped in my preferred B&M this morning (I had been alerted about the Gawith drop) and picked up a tin of this- I believe it was introduced earlier this year, but I must have not been paying attention. Definitely sounds up my alley- I’ll give a review once I get in...

    Robert Redford Dead at 89

    I didn’t even realize he was still with us before today. Two of my favorites- The Sting & Three Days of the Condor.

    Reamed By UPS…

    I placed an order at SPC.eu over the weekend, though I’m regretting it now. $250 order.. I buy/sell internationally with some frequency. In the last two weeks I’ve spent over $300 in Italy and almost $1k in France. Neither of those shipments incurred extra fees. Seems to me getting bent...

    Cigars From MBombay

    My first (and only) experience with cigars from the MBombay label was some time ago.. 2018 or maybe 2019. A local shop had gotten several boxes in- perhaps one or two boxes of each variety. My initial impression was that they were beautiful.. not just the bands/boxes, but the sticks themselves...

    Looking to buy some tins/jars of the following blends. If you have any you are willing to sell, please DM me with the blends, number of tins, and asking price. C&D Steamworks & Stonehenge. McClelland 40th Anniversary, Xmas Cheers pre-2014, any of the Mature Virginia line (brown labels), and...

    Show Us Your Jody Davis Pipes!

    While I can appreciate the design and quality of pipes made by Jody Davis, I've never been a particular fan. Essentially, pipes in my preferred size range aren't common from his workshop. That brings me to this pipe, my first by Jody. I saw it on the SPC table at Muletown this year. In fact, I...

    My Favorite Tamper

    I've long been a fan of the older model Vauen telescopic tamper. It's out of production now, but if you're lucky, you may find one buried at a brick n mortar. For me, they're just the right size and I LOVE that the pick is a friction fit instead of screw-in. My good pal Jim (Lazarus Eatates)...

    Another Death: John Mayall

    What can be said about John Mayall that hasn't been said before? If you're a fan of electric blues, you know why John will be celebrated for all time. Everyone has their favorites.. for me, "Moving On" is among the finest live albums of the 20th century.

    Old Prince Albert in a Can

    Any PA fans out there who could put a reasonable guestimate on the age of this tin? I've got 6 or 7 of them, visually in good shape, unopened. (This one pictured has some surface rust around the rim and seam) No clue if the ones without rust are worth trying to sell, or even if there would...

    Show Us Your Knife (And Pipe)

    Few things are as classically masculine as the pipe. One of those heralded few is the pocket knife. I want to see what you're carrying (and smoking) today. So let's see'em- show us your current EDC, fixed or folding, traditional or tactical. I'm carrying a new knife today - the Maxace...

    Show Off Your Kai Nielsen Pipes!

    Danish pipes in general (contemporary ones anyway) have never been the apples of my eye. This Kai Nielsen is making a challenge of my assertions. A Jewell of Denmark A (Straight Grain) grade apple with horn stem is about to get an inaugural smoke. Giving it the once over, I must admit I am...

    Adventures In PAD: The Switcheroo

    I've been eyeballing a certain pipe for almost six months. It's an olive wood billiard by Mimmo Provenzano - real pretty, right in my size range. Last week I got an email from this particular Italian retailer with a 15% off coupon code. Today seemed a good time to put that code to use... might...

    Paging George Dibos!

    Seems he hasn't logged on since Feb 23.. Anyone seen or heard hide or hair of Mr Dibos?

    German Carver Nils Bräutigam

    Nils Bräutigam is a new one to me, has anyone else heard of him or had experience with his pipes? No Pipedia entry, but is said to have been doing pipes since 2017. Per has a new batch of his pipes up on Scandpipes (Seen Here) and one really sunk its sandblasted claws in me. Had to have it...

    New Pipe By Dimitry Miscoi 🇨🇦

    Been seeing Dimitry's work on IG for a few months and his 40+ year old briar blasts beautifully. He has a high regard for detail and is principled when it comes to precision. A tiny, late 20s KB&B Hungarian was one of my favorite pipes until it cracked at the shank (for a second time) and I...

    Help ID This Mysyerious Pipe

    No nomenclature anywhere. Well made pipe, attention to detail is there. It's a mystery alright! Came from the collection of a John Goldberg.
