    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...

    FS/FT: Germains Bridge Brown Flake 4-2-25

    I have three (3) tins of Germain Bridge (Old Brown Flake) from 2024. Primarily, I'd like to work a trade for some C&D Steamworks, either year. Mcclelland products considered too. Otherwise, asking $50 per tin, shipped. PayPal, Venmo, Cashapp, Apple Pay all accepted. Shoot me a DM for...

    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.

    Jay Bilas and His Missouri Meerschaum

    Watching NCAA basketball yesterday and I caught this segment. Jay Bilas offering some commentary on the game while... smoking a pipe?! It's more rare than a hens tooth to see someone smoking on tv anymore - but a pipe? What were the odds?!

    St Louis Pipe Show '24 - RSVP Thread

    Going to be my first time traveling West for a show. Will be attending with a few other assorted members of the Derby City Pipe Club, including Jim Anderson (Lazarus Estates) and past podcast guest Mark Johnson (nom de plume - M.J. Downing). Who else is coming?

    USPS At It Again..

    We all love tracking our parcels. It's one of the greatest aspects of our consumer society. To an extent, it can even drive our happiness or despair.. I've been waiting on a lovely new pipe from Greece to wriggle and writhe its way here over the holiday season - it's slow going. This morning I...

    Custom Bic Lighters for the Club

    I like to toss some small gifts around to the pipe club guys this time of year. Nothing too substantial, just enough to show I care ☺️ Saw an ad a while back for custom Bics, so I tried it out. The interface for designing them isn't the best, but you can upload pictures and edit them to fit...

    Sports Wagering - Hot Bets!

    With the proliferation of sports books online in the last couple years, wagering has grown exponentially. I was never much of a gambler - I hate losing more than I like winning. BUT with so many of the sports book apps offering generous introductory deals, it's almost like they're giving money...

    What's Your Favorite Doughnut?

    Brands/Shops/Bakeries aside, I mean your favorite shape or style. I grew up (and still live) in a historically German/Irish Catholic neighborhood. That means nearly every corner houses a church, bar, or bakery. Growing up, I must have tried just about every possible concoction created by flour...

    G&H Doing Rattrays and McConnell?

    Well this is interesting. Via Instagram - "Launching two new ranges at the Nottingham Pipe Show" I'd be all for that, I think. Except.. what effect will that have on the availability of Rattrays and McConnell?
