    Its Finally Cooling Off!!

    This Spring and Summer have been so hot here in upstate NY near the Canadian border. 90+ degrees with 60+% humidity. The last few days have been in the mid to upper 70s, and the humidity isn't an issue. I can finally just sit outside our little cabin in the woods and enjoy an evening smoke...

    Anyone Interested In Some Practice Pipes?

    Ive got way too many pipes sitting around. I will never do anything with them. If anyone in the lower 48 wants them, they are yours, I'll pay shipping. A couple didn't make it into the group picture, I'll show them separately. Most need a lot of help, some just need cleaned really good. I've...

    Are Pipe Makers Looney?

    I dont look often, but I occasionally check out Facebook. I've never made a post, dont have many friends, and comment rarely. Looking through some of the pipe groups, I see a LOT of people are now making pipes. Many have just started in the last few years, but they sell their pipes for...

    Show Your Pietenpauw.

    In 2008-2009 I was really just getting into ebay pipe buying. I found this little pipe for $24 shipped. Its pretty small, not very pretty, but it is very well made. It has a Delrin stem, yep, Delrin. It doesn't shine very well, but it's as comfortable as Vulcanite, but doesn't oxidize like...

    Any Clue Identifying This Pipe?

    I got this very odd pipe years ago in a box lot from ebay. It's NEARLY unsmoked. It is very oddly shaped, but very well made, and is insanely light weight. I haven't worked on it or smoked it. Does anyone have an idea? It just says "Italy" on it.

    I Did It Again

    Just browsing SP last week for some tobacco, and somehow I ended up on the Peterson pipe page again. Sooo, I thought I might as well get something. I know newer Petersons aren't what they used to be, but I like them. I bought a sandblasted Sherlock Holmes Watson, to go with the System XL315 I...

    I Got A New Pipe!

    Nothing special but ive wanted a Peterson System pipe for awhile. Years ago I had several given to me, but like a dummy I traded and gave them all away. I really didn't see much difference between the Standard and the Deluxe...as far as I care about anyways.....so I went with this rusticated...

    Any Stanwell Experts Around Here?

    I have this Stanwell pipe I got years ago in a trade. It was unsmoked. I've smoked it about 10x, but it's not for me. Doing research ive found nearly nothing about this pipe. As far as I can tell it's one of their Specialty lines called "Facet". I believe its shape 194, has a brass band and made...

    Spring Is Here And The Smell Is In The Air......Onion's.

    Every Spring about this time millions of Ramps pop up on our property. They sell for $6/lb at our local grocery store. They just rot away here. A few friends grab a few and my wife and I eat a few. We also get tons of chives.....and skunk cabbage. :) Pretty much every bit of green in these...

    Wasting Money On Tobacco!!

    Last week someone was asking about good flake tobaccos to try. I suggested Watch City because they have a lot of flake/cake blends that ive really liked over the years. After posting the suggestion, I realized I didn't have a single leaf of WCC blends! So I immediately went to WCC website to...

    The Ten Minute Stem Restore.

    Vulcanite/Ebonite stems are my first choice. I like the feel of them and the looks. But, I can be a lazy SOB sometimes.....much of the time. Anyways, I have followed all the advice over the years with varying success......Oxyclean, Magic Eraser, Barkeepers Friend, Flitz...... Then about 10...

    Coincidence?

    The other day someone posted about delayed gratification. During this conversation I brought up the weirdos that like to DG a cigar. I said I didn't really care for DGing a pipe, but cigars were FAR worse. Weeeeell, this brings us to yesterday. We had my wifes good friend and her husband staying...

    Strange Pipe with No Name.

    Years ago I got this pipe in an ebay lot. It was not in the pictures of usual ebay lots....Medico Kaywoodie, Algerian Briar, Dr Grabow.....that kind of stuff. I remember there were about 20 pipes of various quality and condition. I paid $25 for the lot because there was a Savenelli Alligator...
