    SPC increases their free shipping threshold

    When did this happen? I noticed this yesterday when ordering some Sunbear. It used to be free shipping on orders greater than $95 but it is now increased to $125. I guess now instead of adding a few packs of pipe cleaners to get over the limit, I'll have to add a few extra tins of tobacco...

    How would you ship your pipe collection across the country?

    Background ~60 pipes in collection, most of which are handmades or commissions. I'm moving from the pacific northwest to the east coast in a month. Moving company is taking the house items and tobacco. Transport company is taking the vehicles. Moving company and vehicle transport will take a...

    How do you rationalize selling an item for less than what you paid?

    How do you rationalize or logic your way through the upside of selling items for less than what you paid? It seems silly, but hear me out. I'm beginning to think it's time for me to sell off some pieces from my various collections fund purchasing another item I want. It's not easy for me to...

    Seeking Color Photos of Dr. Fred Hanna's Pipes

    I've been hearing him more and more lately as a guest on the Pipesmagazine radio show and decided to look around on the web for photos of his straight grain pipes. I've found a few photos, but not many. I came across his book but from the descriptions it seems the photos are in black and...

    Smoking My Rarely Smoked Pipes

    I've been smoking pipes since 2007 and have approximately 70 pipes. I've been on a pipe buying rampage this year and I've considered selling some of the pipes I don't smoke very often to offset some of the cost of my new purchases. I was reluctant to sell off these pipes for fear I'd regret...

    Webcrawler That Searches For Tobacco Availability?

    Anyone remember the name? I heard of one on the pipesmagazine radio show, but can't for the life of me remember the name. I've used it a few times and it's a handy resource but not always correct. thanks.

    Rationalizing Spending A Lot On A Pipe?

    How do you rationalize spending a lot on a pipe? Let's define "a lot" as being equivalent to a mortgage payment, whatever that is for you. Other factors are: you have the money and are not as risk of losing the house or taking food out of your families mouths, you have enough pipes already but...

    How Long is the Shortest Pipe You Regularly Smoke?

    Title edited for caps and brevity. Rule 9. I have my eye on a pipe that is 4.75 inches long, but I typically don't prefer pipes less than 5 inches in length. I am not a clencher. I have two pipes at just under 4.9 inches, and two at 5 inches. All four of them seem very small, but they had...

    Are Bent Bamboo Shanks Reinforced?

    I've heard some pipe makers reinforce straight bamboo shanks with metal tubes, but was wondering about bent bamboo shanks. If the bent shanks are not reinforced, how durable is bamboo?

    Standard Terms to Describe Amount of Bend?

    Are there standard terms to describe the amount of bend in a pipe shank? How would you describe to an artisan pipe carver how much bend you'd like in a pipe your commissioning from them? I've heard straight, quarter bent, half bent, three-quarter bent, full bent. Assume a straight pipe has no...

    How To See Items Sold By Ebay Seller?

    I used to be able to see items sold by ebay sellers from their store, but I can't seem to find out how to do it now. This process seems to have changed in the last few weeks. There used to be a blue button at the bottom of their page that said something like "See All", then a tool window would...

    Status of Old Hollywood Briar? (Site Contributer and Youtube Channel)

    One question and a statement of my opinion: (1) Is Old Hollywood briar still a site contributor? I thought there was an announcement earlier this year that he was. I may not be looking in the right place, but I haven't seen much from him lately. (2) The direction his Youtube channel has...

    No Burley Blends from Dunhill?

    Did Dunhil ever produce straight burley blends? Just curious. I see some VaBur blends, but nothing like a straight burley or burley forward blend. Any reason for this?
