    Cats and Pipes

    I know there is a "Dog and Pipes" thread, and I couldn't find one for Cats, so I decided to start one. I'm sure many individuals on here have cats, so I thought we could share pictures of our other furry friends. Mainly for the reason that one of our cats passed away this past Thursday...

    NHL Playoffs... Who's Watching and Who You Got?

    The 2025 NHL Playoffs are under way, and as always it should be another 7-8 weeks of great hockey followed by the crowing of Lord Stanley's Cup. As a huge sports fan playoff hockey is awesome to watch, and there is nothing better than game 7's, especially in the Finals. As a long time Colorado...

    Another Day, Another Old-New Meer To Smoke.

    So, yesterday I posted about my Cavalier Meerschaum pipe, and how I was smoking it for the first time, after it sat on my pipe shelf for the last 7-8 years. Today, I decided it was time to smoke this pipe; my Thompson African Meerschaum straight billiard. I purchased this pipe as new-old...

    Cavalier Meerschaum - Will It Smoke?

    So I bought this meerschaum pipe back in 2016-17 from a fellow YouTuber at the time who was needing money for a personal emergency. It's not really my style due to the length, but for the price, I said what the heck. Plus you can seen that it can be shortened. When it arrived I noticed some...

    New Smoking Lounge

    As I've been around this forum for a while, many have seen pictures of my shop, smoking lounge, "man cave," or whatever you want to call it in the past. Over the years the "Metal Lounge" as I call it has gone through many changes. My shop has a single car garage and then a large open room off...

    Culling the Herd: Anyone Else Feel the Need to do So?

    Well, this past year I kept track of how many times I smoked my meerschaum pipes, and with as many has I have it makes it hard to dedicate any real time to any one pipe. The most I smoked any one meerschaum pipe was 27 bowls. It's going to take me forever to color these things. LOL Currently...

    Newest Addition - Lee Van Cleef Pipe

    Picked this one up from Meerschaum Market. It features the typical calcinated rim, but none on the bowl. It's coated in yellow beeswax instead of white, so it's not the typical bright white like most meers. I'm not one for counting smokes, but I'll try to keep track to see how this progresses...

    March Meerschaum Madness - Let the Madness Begin!

    The time has come for March Meerschaum Madness. As we've reached the eve of this month-long event. For those unaware of this, the idea is for those that have one or two meerschaum pipes in their collection, and rarely smoke them, to pull them off the rack and enjoy them. It's an opportunity...

    SPC Tin Rusted Through

    Well, this is a new experience for me. After sorting through my tobacco cabinet yesterday, I noticed what looked like some rust on the bottom of my SPC Mississippi River tin, (purchased in March 2017). So as a precaution I popped the tin to jar up the tobacco. From what I can see the tobacco is...

    Two New Meerschaum Pipes for the Collection

    Acquired two new to me Meerschaum pipes (Altinay straight billiard, and SMS bent bulldog). Both have barely been smoked and look almost new. Picked up both for a great low price. I'm very pleased with my acquisition, and the best part is that it's helping out a friend who is selling off many of...

    More Meerschaum P.A.D.

    Here are my two newest acquisitions to my meerschaum pipe collection. This brings my collection to 17 meerschaum pipes. Got a steal of a deal on the calabash which was smoked only a handful of times and was super clean other than some oxidation on the stem. The Hawkbill was a great deal and was...

    Cleaning A Gourd Calabash Pipe - Questions???

    Just bought an estate gourd calabash and need some suggestions on how to clean the gourd. I'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail, so I'm not sure how dirty the gourd chamber is, but from the pictures the meerschaum bowl needs some cleaning so I'm guessing the gourd will as well. As far...

    Anyone Use Tobacco Cellar .com

    I didn't see a previous thread about this, so apologies if there was a previous one. So several years ago I created an account on TobaccoCellar.com to help keep track of tins in my tobacco cellar, and mason jars I had open and smoking from. At the time I had a small cellar, and minimal open...

    New Savinelli's Added to the Pipe Collection

    So I've been looking at acquiring some new pipes, and after a few weeks of looking and having my eye caught by a few Ser Jacopo's, Caminetto's, a Castello, a couple Savinelli pipes, and a few others; I decided on the Savinelli Onda 616 KS, and was fortunate to come across a gorgeous Savinelli...

    Pipe Sales

    Any one know if there are any good sales coming up? I've got my eye on a few pipes (Ser Jacopo, Caminetto, Castello) at SmokingPipes, and I'd love to pull the trigger on two if I could hit a good sale. I missed out on SmokingPipes estate pipe sale recently, and a couple really nice pipes I would...

    Question About Ser Jacopo Pipe

    I came across a Ser Jacopo Gemma Modica 02 bent Apple but there is no stamping/nomenclature on the pipe. Is this normal? I've not seen a Ser Jacopo pipe without some markings. Price seems too good to be real deal. Any thoughts?

    Ok guys... what one tobacco would you save from the FDA Deeming Regulations if you had the chance to save one? That means any tobacco's created/blended after February 2007. Well... what are going to save?

    Meerschaum P.A.D. - My Newest Pipe to the Collection

    Just showing off my newest Meerschaum pipe. This pipe was carved by Tekin Uzkesici, and beautifully done with excellent detail. This is my 6th Meerschaum acquisition over the last several months. I'm definitely hooked on Meerschaum pipes.
