    Pipe and Leaf - Outstanding!

    Thanks guys, I am aware of other sites to purchase from, the thing with Pipe & leaf was it was shipped somehow so I never had to pay the duties. I cannot remember how he did it (maybe shipped as a gift?) I probably should not be giving that info out but seeing how he is focusing on pipes and...

    Pipe and Leaf - Outstanding!

    I noticed that Pipe & Leaf are still in business but the site does not seem to be selling tobacco any longer. I use to buy from there because I never had issues with it being shipped across the border. I will now need to find a new source because prices here in Canada are crazy.

    Looking For Someone to Make a New Shank

    I don't mean to hijack easterntraveler's thread but seeing how we were dealing with the same issue I did not see any sense starting a new thread. Anyway I just wanted to update how I ended up resolving my problem and then I will shut up. I sent my pipe To Jack Reid in Ontario and he made me a...

    Looking For Someone to Make a New Shank

    I am in the same boat. I have pipe that I made an extension for but because I do not have a lathe to make the extension properly I am not happy with the results. I actually made it with a hole saw from a laminated hardwood block. I would like to have a better shank extension made or possibly a...

    Show Off Your Pipe Tobacco Here!

    Being a newb I probably screwed this process up, especially seeing how I did no research whatsoever. I had 4 or 5 blends that I could not smoke so I did my own experiment and mixed them together and gave them an Apple Bud Light bath. Not sure where else Apple Bud is sold but we have it here in...

    Mr. Brog Pipes

    I am going to sell these pipes. The Morta on top was smoked 4 times (1 full bowl and 3 half bowls) and the Belfast Briar on the bottom has never been smoked. The Morta was $81.79 Canadian and the Belfast was $52.36 Canadian for a total of $134.15. I will sell both for $90.00. If interested send...

    Just got my first cob.

    I robbed the stem from a cheap eBay pipe. The shank is covered with extra thick rubberized heat shrink. It is a work in progress. The stem is sanded so I will need to do some buffing to get it shiny. I might also decide to remove the heat shrink but for now I do not mind the way it looks. It is...

    Just got my first cob.

    I think this stem mod looks a bit better to my previous mod.

    Mr. Brog Pipes

    I just smoked a full bowel so I could give a better report. With this pipe I have no problems with keeping it lit but it does get quite warm, perhaps my puffing is more frequent than some smokers which can also explain why I do not have many relights. Even though it gets a bit hot it does cool...

    Mr. Brog Pipes

    foolwiththefez I have smoked a couple half bowls and it smokes well enough. The only thing I don't like and it is just personal preference is the size and weight. It is a bit small for my liking and it weighs very little. I prefer a larger and heavier pipe. I see that there is another more...

    Mr. Brog Pipes

    samon the rustication on that pipe looks hideous. I can understand your complaint. The rustication on the pipe I bought is not to bad. These are 2 Mr. Brog pipes. The top being a morta and the bottom is a briar. simong it is too bad about that stem. I am hoping mine will last longer.

    What is this?

    sablebrush52 your not going to believe this. I never even thought about the stamp until you mentioned it. I just turned the pipe over and on the bottom of the shank it is marked fu teng 679. It is a damn chinese pipe. I was really hoping I had something special but nope. Anyway I got it for...

    Thanks jvnshr. dutch65 had to point me in the right direction for the avatar settings. All good now.

    I changed my avatar, but its still the old one.

    OK then how do I change it for forum post? I assumed because this is stated on our profile "Your avatar will be used on your profile and throughout the site" that it included the forums. I do not see any forum setting for changing the avatar. I can easily change it in my profile settings but it...

    Photos of You

    Not the best photo of me, I am at the beginning of the winter growth. I made this my avatar but for some reason my old image is still showing in the forums.

    I changed my avatar, but its still the old one.

    So what was the solution for this old post? I am experiencing the same thing. My old avatar is showing up in the forums but my new avatar shows on my profile. Logging out and even using a different browser that I had never used for the site has not resolved the issue.

    What is this?

    Tenants of mine left this behind when they moved. I cleaned it up and have been smoking it the last few days. I know nothing about it but I am guessing it is ebony. It smokes quite nicely and I like the way it feels in my hand, it is quite a heavy pipe. Anyone see these before?

    Canadian Duty Taxes of Mail Orders

    OK I spoke to soon. I just received my fist customs charge. I ordered 4 samplers which totaled 7 ounces (just under 200 grams) and cost 18 dollars. On that 18 dollar order they charged me $105.97. I am going to place another small order and if I get dinged again I will need to get a second job.
