    Has Anyone Had Any Experience With the EBay Seller 'deadmanspipes'?

    I had no problems in my dealing with deadmanspipes. FWIW, I find his username quite fitting, realistic and shockingly humorous :)

    R.I.P. Stan Lee, Dead at 95

    I have been a huge Stan Lee fan since the 60s when I first started reading his work as a child. Indeed, to a life that touched so many ... Excelsior!

    What’s Your Tipple?

    SG Brown No. 4 is a delicious rope and worthy of consideration for such a list. As are GLP JKP and CD OJK and Bold Kentucky and G&H Brown Sliced.

    Pipes You'd Have If You Were Willing To Spend The Money

    This is a question without much challenge what with the condition of $ being no limitation. For me this is simple, I would buy 7 day sets from Sixten Ivarsson and Jess Chonowitsch. Big bucks, no whammies, just Danish legends.

    Questions About Pipe Smoking In The Past

    Castello Find

    Wow, that's a very, very fortunate find! Be super careful not to let that horseshoe slip out of your butt when you sit down :puffy: Seriously, though, one of my favourite Castellos is a mid-1960s Fiammata with a draw that is smooth and effortlessly open.
