    Butera Pipes

    Just an observation: In looking at some pipe related stuff on the web I came across something about Butera pipes. Out of curiosity I did a search on this forum to see what had been said about them. I was surprised at what I found... or didn't find. Unless I missed it, there is no mention of...

    Photo Albums

    I must be overlooking something. I thought I would take a look and see what some of you posted in your "album". Problem is, I can't figure out how to find them. Can someone explain please?

    An interesting video

    I found this on the web. It doesn't have anything to do with pipes but I thought some of you would like to see it. http://www.flixxy.com/200-countries-200-years-4-minutes.htm

    Pipe Cleaning Technique

    I like Raleigh tobacco and I have several pipes I smoke SWR in exclusively. I think it's a great smoke but it does tend to leave a residue in the shank and bowl which is kind of gooey and can build up pretty fast. Soon the shank and bottom of the bowl are so full of it that the pipe doesn't...

    Post Your Picture With a Pipe.

    I thought it would be fun to see pics of some of the guys smoking their pipes. I don't have a recent one but here's one of me taken a few years ago you might get a kick out of. See, I have been at it a while.

    An Appology

    When I joined this form I did so using a new email address. I then promptly fogot to check that email very often. Now I've learned that Hotmail has decided to delete a bunch of rather inactive email accounts and mine was among them. If any one out there wrote me and didn't get a reply...

    Can you identify this pipe maker?

    Back in the 80's I saw some pipes that were carved by a convict. As to the best of my recollection, he was serving a life sentence in Washington State for murder. This guy was an absolute master at carving. He didn't do adstract designs but rather he carved realistic scenes on his pipes. I...

    Serious Pipe Reaming

    Years ago, when I owned and operated a pipe shop, I offered a pipe cleaning and restoration service to my customers. I had some guys bring in dozens of pipes at a time for me to overhaul and many had been neglected to the point that they were unsmokable. Some had so much cake that there wasn't...

    Worst Pipe Ever

    I saw the thread about the worst tobaccos so I thought it would be fun and interesting to hear about the worst pipe you ever smoked. For me it has to be a BC. I went to Paris and left my pipe case at home by accident, so I went into a pipe shop. About the only thing they sold was BC (made in...

    A tip about polishing silver fittings

    I have several pipes with silver ferrells and they turn dark very quickly. I used to use metal polish on then but no more. Try this. Just take a little of the finest (most powder like) pipe or cigar ash and rub it on the silver for a few seconds and wipe it off. You'll be amazed at how well it...

    Some thoughts about this forum...

    Hello all, I've been a member of this forum for only a short time but I've been a "guest" for a lot longer. This is the second pipe forum I've joined and want to comment about my experience with the other one. I don't think I should say what pipe forum it was. I joined the other forum and...
