    Ash Wednesday (Take 2)

    So this didn’t quite go as planned last year, so with humility and perseverance I shall try again… It’s finally arrived. The start of the Lenten season. On this most humble day of the liturgical calendar, let us get out our Pete’s and smoke something @ashdigger would. If you wish you to join...

    Tuxtleño Tobacco

    My wife saw a Mexican tobacco shop down the road the other day so I decided to go check it out. Lots of cigars, and obviously stuff for weed, but I was chuffed to see a few modest pipes and ash trays for sale. What caught my attention was the pipe tobacco they had available. There were 3...

    Today I did Something I Have Never Done Before

    In the local supermarket here in La Paz, Baja California Sur I was in the butchery section. A Mexican abuela walked passed me and her perfume was exactly the same, and I do mean exactly the same, as the topping of GH bosun plug. Once I caught a whiff, I couldn’t help myself and preceded to...

    Pipe Tobacco in LAX?

    Anyone passed through LAX recently and can confirm whether there is any pipe tobacco for sale there? Don’t really care if it’s duty free or not.

If you wish you to join me on this most inward of pilgrimages, I am going to take up his exemplar and smoke petes...

    Anyone Host WWOOFERS/Workaway?

    Very much at the brainstorming stage but my family and I (we have 3 primary aged kids) are looking at potentially doing some travel through the states at the end of the year before going to Central America for some voluntary projects. Thought I’d post here out of interest to see whether any of...

    ISO: Broken Gourd Calabashes for Project

    Kia ora, I’m looking for broken gourd calabashes to practice restemming and making cups for. Not too worried about condition, however it would be nice if the gourds themselves aren’t too damaged. Let me know if you see any for cheap on the bay or have any lying around gathering dust. I can...

    FIFA Women’s World Cup

    Anyone else watching it? I am seriously blown away by the quality of the football being played, not to mention it is the first time NZ has won a game at the World Cup finals. So far, the Japan v Zambia game was one of the most interesting. Japan won 5-0, but had another 2 goals and a penalty...

    Peterson Hallmarks Help Please - Convention Marks

    Kia ora, I was wondering if anybody knows how to further date this Peterson. Given the .925 mark I understand that 2003 can be the earliest date range. Instead of a date letter it appears to have European convention marks. This is quite hard to see in the photo however. I have attached the...

    GBD “London Made” Help

    So I picked up this pipe. It has a push stem and a slot bit. The only nomenclature is GBD over London Made on the LH side of the shank. The hallmarks have worn, but from the cartouche shapes I can narrow these down the 1916-35. Just wondering if anyone has any information about when GBD...

    ARP or RAP Cased Pipes?

    I picked these up recently. Was wondering if anyone could identify them? I’m wondering if they are Roger Perrin - though when I look at pipephil logos Perrin is very different. Here’s the link to the listing and some of the seller’s pics for you fellow lazy guys...

    Pipe Tobacco Duty Free Allowance - Australia

    Yes I have looked at the OZ customs website, as well as those of a few of the airlines/duty free stores which operate there. It seems the tobacco allowance is one 25g sealed packet and one open packet. For cigarette/RYO smokers this isn’t confusing, however for someone wanting to take some...

    Dunhill LB 8

    Does anyone know when the Dunhill stopped stamping “8” on their LB pipes? I picked this up today and am trying my best to date it as the nomenclature is pretty worn. It’s a patent pipe, and from what I can tell, I can’t see a “/34” at the end of the patent number, but rather what looks like a...

    c1995 Mac Baren Navy Flake (Swisher Era)

    We’re going on holiday to Te Wai Pounamu (South Island) and don’t want my knife confiscated at the airport…ok, I just can’t be arsed cutting ropes and plugs for the next fortnight. So I decided to pop a tin. Originally I was saving this to open upon the completion of my masters thesis. But...
