    It Almost Got Thrown Out

    I have the bad habit of, when a package arrives from an etailer, of digging out the goodies and carefully stashing them, and tossing the box aside on the basement floor. 'Tother day I decided to start working on that pile of boxes, so I carefully broke them down, sorted through all the paper...

    A Little Brulor On The Way

    'Tother day I was browsing on SP, and came upon Brulor pipes. I had been thinking about another Ropp Etudiant, but the idea of owning a French pipe from the 1940s or before, and a brand that was sold primarily in tabacs all over the country, caught my fancy. A petite billiard got the nod.

    Ownership of Orlik and Peter Stokkebye Blends

    All the talk about STG buying MacBaren/Sutliff got me wondering about these. A little research showed me that they are owned by Stokkebye Villigier, but the information I found was several years old. Does anyone have more current information on these lines?

    Another Ropp For My Collection

    I already have one of these - I absolutely love it. Pulled the trigger on this as my birthday present to myself. This is a Ropp Vintage 188. It will be a Virginia pipe, just like its brother.

    Dreaming About Pipe Tobacco

    In this dream last night, I was outdoors, and suddenly a tin of tobacco rolled by and stopped. Of course I picked it up. In the dream, the label was very clear, but that has faded, although I do recall it being an open tin of a Va/Per that I had in rotation - which is unusual, since I don't...

    Any Ideas About Possible Age Of This Canister?

    I picked this up on my trip to Paul's in Flint. Any thoughts about how old this night be?

    Another Ode To Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint

    Some of you may recall my thread about a Kaywoodie bulldog that I was unable to get apart. I mentioned that if the freezer method did not work, I would take it to Paul's. Today I finally did so. I also took a Sasieni 4 dot Liverpool that I had purchased, just to check out Sasieni, that I had...

    Another Ropp Vintage On The Way

    When I did my taxes online this year, I got the news that I was supposed to get a nice refund from the state. Of course I started shopping for a new pipe. Had some ideas, but never pulled the trigger - was waiting for the refund to show up. Then I got a letter from the state Treasury Department...

    This Darned Kaywoodie Won't Come Apart!

    Some of you may recall me posting about acquiring my first bulldog, a Kaywoodie. Been smoking it regularly, running cleaners through it, and would like to take it apart for a thorough cleaning. When I give the usual gentle turn. the silly thing will not budge! I'm reluctant to force it, for...

    Two New Ones On The Way

    I had purchased a Pete Christmas 701 earlier. I like the looks of that so much that I decided I needed a 103. And while I was at it - I have a Ropp Vintage that I really like - the horn stems really appeal to me - so I got this Vintage Superior. Looking forward to their arrival, and breaking...

    Merry Christmas To Me Very Early

    I have a Peterson Tankard, from the Specialty series, that is a great flake pipe - but I don't really care for the P-lip - I clench too much for those to be good for me. So when I saw these, I grabbed one: It's en route.

    Just Pulled the Trigger On This Kaywoodie

    This is a Kaywoodie Custom Grain from Paul's Pipe Shop in Flint. Custom Grains were made from 1960-1971. I would not be surprised if Paul Spaniola bought it back then. Got it during their 94th Anniversary sale. It's my first bulldog.

    Shout Out to Iwan Ries For Great Service

    I Bought My First Sasieni Today

    A little family-era billiard. Probably would not get a collector excited, but I've never had one, sooo... My Sasieni

    Farewell to an Old Companion

    Somewhere around 2004 I discovered Murdock's Pipe by McCranie. This is a blend that never got a whole lot of notice - it only has 15 reviews at Tobacco Reviews - but it just sat perfectly with me. It smoked especially well in an old Stanwell brandy with a 3/4 bend and a saddle-stem, and I...

    A Gift from Weezell

    A little story, first: When I picked up my pipe again, in the early part of this century, after a number of years on cigars, one thing I did was visit a number of what John Patton refers to as "the American Classics". (I had never smoked these before.) The first ones, purchased, appropriately...
