    Zippo Slim?

    So gents I may have stumbled onto something that I am wondering, if others of you already figured out. I grabbed a pipe and reached for my full size Zippo with a butane soft flame insert. Instead I saw a Slim model that I recently found in a box of junk, and grabbed it. I’ve never used a Slim...

    Looks like Jeremy McKenna, former CEO of Sutliff, has listed a highly unique piece of art on TinBids. If you are a McClelland fanboy, this might be the one thing that puts you ahead of all of your club buddies! Auction Link

    Any 20% or Better Coupons for P&C?

    I know in Jan there was a 25% off coupon for Pipes and Cigars. Does anyone have a similar one that’s current?

    Show me your rack!

    Now that I have your attention, and PLEASE no shirtless old guy pics! I have amassed a decent amount of tins and mason jars. I would like to organize these in a way that is both functional and tasteful. Planning to sit it in my office for a conversation piece and mainly for me to admire all...

    New Interview with Per G Jensen on Mac Baren's Demise

    Big Apple Pipes just released a video interview (albeit a bit long) with Per G Jensen on the STG/MB/Sutliff debacle. Interesting to hear Per's take and the backstory on his termination and some more behind the scenes info on the path forward for the hobby. One of the highlights comes towards...

    Country Squire Dark Holler 2025

    Thought I would go ahead and start a thread for reviews of the latest drop of DH. Patiently waiting on the Squire to ship mine out. Hoping some of you have already gotten yours by picking up in person. Let us know your thoughts!

    Questions for Leonardw: Part Deux

    I am going to attempt to open this up for questions for @leonardw...and nothing else. No discussion, no banter, no discourse. I know I am nobody on this forum amongst the legends. However, Leonard's honest and forthright answers to our questions were some of the best dialogue I have ever...

    Country Squire Ordering System Down

    Jon David or anyone at CS, when will your website be fixed so that I and I am sure many others can order again? I watched it crash a little before the DH release at 1PM today. As of now, it is still not allowing any products to be added to a cart. Phone sales aren't working either. I know it...

    Leaf Shredder You Want to Quit?

    Wondering if anyone has a whole leaf shredder they no longer need and would be interested in selling? I would be happy with a small one like this or ? Just don't want to invest a ton into this, as I only have a couple of pounds to shred...for now. :col:

    Pipes by Lee Soaking Up Oil

    So I have some estate Pipes by Lee that I have refurb’d. Absolutely gorgeous grain by the way on all of them with few fills. I’m sure this is a novice question, but all of them seem to absolutely soak up olive oil after I clean them. I mean seriously soak up. I can add a shine to them and within...

    Tinder Box Erin System Value?

    I recently stumbled onto a nice Tinder Box Erin System pipe. I found some good resources online detailing the history of this Peterson sub brand made for TB. However, there have been essentially no recent sales that I can find on eBay or other sites giving a value for this obviously limited...

    Any Reviews of Finsbury Tobaccos?

    I stumbled across the Finsbury brand recently and after searching this forum, TobaccoReviews, and Google I can’t seem to find any reviews of them. They are produced by Arango Cigars, so they appear to be from good stock. Anyone have any experience with them? Any flavor is fine…...

    Savinelli SL Series?

    I just picked up 2 Savinelli SL series pipes from a estate auction in Europe. I have done quite a bit of searching and can't find a "SL" series for Savinelli. The specific shapes are 622KS and the 616. Attached are photos of the stamps from each side of the 622KS. Any help is appreciated.

    Patent Era Pete In Tough Shape!

    Ok, long story short, I fell into the custody of what I believe to be a Patent Era 304 System pipe that is probably the worse condition I have ever seen for a bowl. Clearly this is not an "easy fix". Problem is, these vintages don't show up every day. I have no aspirations to restore it and...

    "Benchmade by King" - Any Info??

    I came across a couple of pipes with a hand scribed "Benchmade by King" along the left side of the shank. I did the routine in-depth research...via Google, and only a couple of links of prior eBay sales came up. Nothing on Pipedia or here that I could find. It is not the "Benchmade" from...
