    Any Love For The Boer Shape? Show Them Here!

    I am a huge collector of the Boer shape, called underslung, tomato, donkey nut, or sometimes hawkbill also. This is not the Boer shape which is now known as an Oom Paul. I also love the Jobey Safari and Dawes Lyon pipes, I guess they can be included here, but I try to not call anything but the...

    Recommend me a New All Day Smoke to Replace Carter Hall and Prince Albert

    So, I'm a simpleton when it comes to blends, preferring to buy pipes and keep the tobacco the same. Dominican CH or PA mixed with a little 5 Brothers has been my all day smoke for a while now. I've always noticed a bit of a chemical taste especially with CH, but throwing 5 Bros in the mix...

    CB Weber Air Cooled Streamliner

    I've wanted one of these for a bit and lucky for me, one popped up for a nice price and I jumped as quickly as I could. It's rusticated, and I have read it may be Briar but I'm not sure. The smooth were Maplewood. They date from the 1940s, I believe. Wally Frank also stamped them, but were...

    Medico Jet Streams

    What do you guys think of these? I almost got one, a Sandblasted underslung , and it sold and I have been regretting it so much. I don't know how hard to find they are, I saw a member posted he had like 20 or 30 of them 🤣 I saw a few online, but not the style I wanted. If any of you guys have...

    So I bought a Pipe by Lee

    And in my favorite shape too. Canadian. I must admit I've been intrigued after seeing all of Briar Lee's posts, I'm not expecting it to be any better than my Kaywoodies or Grabows, but I feel it will be solid. And the Algerian Bruyere surely will be a great smoking experience.

    Sutliff's Select pipe

    I just had a feeling I needed to get this especially since Sutliff is going bye bye and I'm wondering who made it. I was thinking Comoy's but I'm not sure. Stem says France.

    Comoy's Guildhall 291

    Hi guys, I got this today and didn't see any unlocked threads to reply to. It's a Comoy's Guildhall 291. I don't know much about Comoy's, but from my research this is a first and not the second line with the 3 lines on the stem. Part of the reason I impulse bought it up, as the Guildhall seconds...

    Ted's Pipe Shoppe Pipe

    Hi all. I impulse bought a Ted's Canadian stamped pipe for 8 bucks on ebay, I know it's the pipe shop in Tulsa but does anyone have information about who made their pipes for them? I talked to them on fb and they said its either a Savinelli or Weber. Stamped Ted's and imported Briar.

    Prince Albert tub freshness question

    So I've read good things about the sta-fresh Middleton tubs. I have a tub of Prince Albert I got last September and I haven't been smoking as much lately and thought the lid was closed fully, but when I pressed down on it yesterday I heard it go down some more and was wondering if it had aged...

    Sickness messed up my taster - will it ever come back?

    So I caught a really bad illness, COVID or the flu (not sure which) my gf's brother tested positive for the flu 2 times in the past month, so it may have been that. Anyhow, a few weeks ago when I caught it I stopped smoking for a few days, and when I finally smoked my pipe it tasted absolutely...

    Savinelli KS 121 Estate Pipe....Worth getting??

    Saw an estate Savinelli 121 KS and was curious about it. I have not bought it yet, and I admit I've never owned a Savinelli and it seems like a great deal (the guy's asking $60) when I did a quick google search on their site a KS121 was 200 euros, but looking at them used maybe it's not the...

    Removing Stubborn Dr. Grabow Aluminum Filter/Stinger

    Hi all, I have a Dr. Grabow Westbrook Dublin just like this (Except it has a softer stem) but I wasn't aware until I saw these photos online you could actually remove the stinger. I know you can't on say, a Kaywoodie (of which I recently bought 2 estates) but I would love to try to remove this...

    Metallic, Sour Taste with Both of my Cobs

    So I have a MM Huck Finn and Legend and they both smoked great for a few months until suddenly they've developed a sour metallic taste I can't seem to shake. It happens halfway through a bowl. No visual sign of burnout, I've cleaned it thoroughly and left out in the sun multiple times to no...

    Stokkebye No. 84 Turkish Export vs Newminster 84

    Back in 2021, before I took up pipe smoking, I got a number of D&R and Stokkebye for RYO injection. I abandoned it because I was getting a dryer sheet taste, which I now realize was now the cheap filters and not my tobacco. Anyhow I cellared them and when finally smoking the Stokkebye No 84 I...
