    Reddit's Pipe Tobacco Market Has Been Closed

    We got crunched on the market sub. Still trying to think of a fix... That place averaged about 1500 unique visitors with 15k or so page hits/day. It was a really vibrant place. Other "marketplace" type places got shut down as well... i.e. /r/beertrades, /r/gundeals. It's the risk you take when...

    Alan Brothers Pipes

    Working on it. I only have 1 pic thus far, and it's a crotch shot sent to a pipemaker. Next day off or next time wife is out of the house I'll post one. fwiw on Memorial Day: http://www.reddit.com/r/PipeTobacco/comments/372mie/jeff_of_alan_brothers_and_j_alan_pipes_ama_on/

    My first (but not last) J Alan pipe!

    What are you doing here? Beautiful piece. Even though it's fairly early, you can tell it's special.

    Jorgensen, Nelson, Lindner & Batson

    Es nice. Grant and Michael take some similar cues around the bite area to me. I recently picked up my first Lindner and am very happy with it.

    Dentist said I have periodontitis ('gum' inflammation) - how do you regulate?

    I use Biotene after I smoke and a mouthwash with chlorine dioxide. Seems to help out a lot with tongue bite, and I would assume other maladies.

    I Bring You The Pipe Turds

    I get what Todd is saying and can't say I disagree. It seems like some of the people he is referencing are preying on the uninformed to make a quick buck instead of putting in the time and effort to get better. Make a poker, slap a premade colorful stem on it, throw a shank ring in there for...

    Clark Layton Commission

    Nice. You should like it. I have a couple and they're just good, honest smokers. Clark likes honest feedback, as well, and I'd say that is one of the major reasons I like him and support the guy.

    Experience at Paylesspipes.com

    Eh, hopefully it's isolated to me. No, this has never happened before. I place my order at smokingpipes, thepipeguys, etc... using my middle name, but my cc info that I put in the billing section is correct and is legal. They had no issues charging the card. Saying that, is it my fault that I...

    He said it was refunded, but it has not shown up yet. If it doesn't: http://www.shitsenders.com/order/

    Experience at Paylesspipes.com

    Disclaimer: I hate badmouthing places for the most part, because I believe they provide a valuable service to myself and others, but this stuff aint right. On the 6th, I saw where paylesspipes.com had some Esoterica stuff in, so I decided to grab a bag and 2 tins of Penzance. People who know me...

    The US South : Harry Crews

    Never heard of the guy, but I'm not what you'd call the literary type. I did smoke on the front porch of Rowan Oak, however, and drank some bourbon on the bench next to the owner:

    You need to stay far, far away from tambolaka if Jackknife treated you like that.

    Gotta disagree with you gig. I believe the light brown is blasted. A reverse image search brings up the original smokingpipes listing and you can see on the front, chin, and some of the bottom of the bowl the transition to birdseye...

    Cooke #4

    Rustication is generally made by taking some sort of homemade tool or dremel and gouging out pieces of the briar. Done a lot of times to hide flaws in wood, and by proxy, hides the grain. With sandblasted, they put it in a cabinet with a window on it and hit it with pressurized air and some sort...

    So they're sandblasted, then, right?
  18. crimsonrat

    Cooke #4

    I'm confused, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that sandblasted? Or are you referring to the sandblasting as being a form of rustication? I don't know if someone would rusticate something to mimic the rings that he tries very hard to achieve. http://www.cookepipes.com/About.aspx

    Ecigs that taste like pipe tobacco?

    I've tried the perique and latakia from these guys: http://www.vapingwatch.com/ and was not super impressed. The perique honestly didn't have a whole lot of flavor and the lat gets old really quickly. I guess trying condiment tobaccos as a straight flavor may not have been the best idea. There's...

    Lord of the Ring Churchwardens

    Stay away. Generally these are made just to capitalize on a trend, and many are made out of rosewood and other ilk, with even less regard given to their mechanics. If you want to feel like Gandalf, grab a Stanwell HCA and put the long stem on it would be my recommendation. Might could find a...
