    Bruken One Year After The Storm.

    N.O.S Lorenzo

    Today I received this Lorenzo N.O.S. pipe, hard to date but probably from the 60s or 70s. It's from a batch that arrived at the Benz Tobacco Shop, where all the unsmoked Lorenzos were sold at an excellent price. So, even though I wasn't planning on buying pipes, I couldn't resist.

    We Have a Saint.

    San Pier Giorgio Frassati, starting today. But the curious thing is the manipulation of his most famous image. Original. More epic For the 21st century. Legend

    Dating my Dunnies

    I took out my Dunhills with the intention of running them through Pipedia's AI. But it didn't work, so I proceeded to use ChatGpt, since I had them on the table. The result was as follows: Starting from closest to furthest: 1935 1977 1974 1939 1959 1978 1935. Except for the first one, which I...

    San Martin.

    Today marks the death of the man who drove Spain from America. A quote from him mentions tobacco. "We have to wage war as best we can. If we don't have money, we won't lack meat and a piece of tobacco. If we run out of clothing, we'll dress in the little cloths our women make for us, and if...

    Old Pipes vs. New Pipes

    Related to the thread about estate pipes. I had this question. Taking pipes made by small-scale artisans out of the equation, as for industrial pipes. Do you think the pipes made today are better, or are those made decades ago better?

    Peterson's Found in Marketplace

    I risked my life to join a stranger who was selling nine pipes on Facebook Marketplace. A Rossi, a Jeantet, a Butz Choquim, and several Bruyere Garantie. The interesting thing is this Peterson's.

    The Eternaut.

    In case anyone's interested in the recommendation, Netflix just released the first season of its adaptation of the classic Argentine comic book, The Eternaut. It's a pretty good adaptation, bringing a story that took place in the 1960s (and in eternity, of course) to the present day.

    The Contradiction I Feel.

    Today I was looking for a Comoy's to post in the chimney post. I found myself looking through several boxes of pipes and pipes and pipes. More than I can smoke. Many good pipes, many decent ones and some ordinary ones. I could sell them, but for now it's a job I don't have the energy to face. On...

    Random Pipe Accessories

    They have been in the garage for a long time. There was also a pipe stand but I gave it away a some time ago. The wood is quebracho, which means axe breaker, the hardest wood that exists.
