Awesome Antique Score (Again)
I always get pretty lucky when I go to the antique show every month. It's the most exciting part of my month searching for this kind of stuff.

Finally Finished Up The All Briar Pipe
A few weeks or so ago I posted an all briar I found that needed some TLC. I didn't have some of the tools needed to do a resto on it so I waited... And waited... And finally was able to buy a senior reamer and some pipe polish. The rim was pretty beat but like some said, it adds to the pipes... -
Went Antique Hunting Today, Help With One Pipe Please (Pics)
I went out to the swap meet/antique show again this month and scored a few pipes at $20 for the two. I have always wanted an all briar pipe so when I saw that one I scooped it up.

Any saving this zippo?
So I bought a lot of three zippos a few weeks back and finally had a chance to polish one up a little bit but wasn't sure how it would work out or if it would damage it somehow. With that in mind I grabbed the one that was carved into and began polishing it with MASS polish. It cleaned up a bit...- redbeard

Booooo I Haven't Been Able To Smoke A pipe In Two Weeks!
So I started my new job and have been working roughly 10-15 hour days and have had no time (or energy) to go outside and enjoy a pipe. I really miss it though, especially when I talk to my coworkers about it and I feel like a poser since its been such a long while. I am looking forward to the...- redbeard

Talk About Discouraging!
I have been looking for a full time job for some time now and have not had any luck. All I hear is "we have decided not to continue your application process" or "we are going to pursue canadates that have more relevant experience".

How Do You Distinguish Your Cobs
A few months into smoking pipes I bought a grab bag of seconds from MM. Most of them were the legend style I think one Washington... Anyways, they practically all look identical and I like to designate them to a particular style blend. This one will be VAs, this one Aros, and this one Lat... -

Attempt To Review This Odd Flake - GH Ennerdale Flake
Ok, so I'm not sure who else has tried this tobacco but it is.... Odd. Very very odd. I felt like I was smoking old lady perfume if I am to be honest. It has so much flavor added to the leaf that it's hard to distinguish what is what. Although for the amount of flavor pumped into this flake it...- redbeard
