    Please Help Identify This Barling's Make

    Hi All, I'm trying to find information about this Barling's Make. There is little in the way of nomenclature. It has the normal cross pattern on the stem, but on the wood it is only stamped Barling's Make and "Benjamin" with the J looking like the number 7. I can't find anything online about it...

    Ken Barnes Passed Away?

    Ken and I spent a lot of time together in my workshop. During his short reemergence making "Ken Barnes" pipes, he was using one side of my workshop two days a week while he was putting together his own workshop further down in Cornwall. Ken was an addictions therapist for 30 years. We talked...

    UK Online Tobacconists

    I've bought from CGars, Black Swan and My Smoking Shop (www.mysmokingshop.co.uk) Shipping is free with CGars for orders over £50, but their prices are higher to make up for it. Mysmokingshop has really good prices and shipping is very reasonable, often being cheaper than CGars even with the...

    Gold

    I started "investing" in precious metals from 2000 to today. When I started, gold was sub $300, and silver was under a fiver. As a long term investment, it has done very satisfactory. Even at todays prices, I add to the stack on the dips, turning fiat paper into real money. To me, it's a low...

    PayPal Finally Got Me, This May Be the End

    That would be true...but paypal is restricting my account. I'll still be able to use it to make payments, but not to receive payments. My son Isaac is graciously giving me access to his PP account, so I can still use ebay, but I won't be using it to run my web store, as I don't want to damage...

    PayPal Finally Got Me, This May Be the End

    Thank you for all the thoughtful replies, and encouragement. I have to accept the fact that as of Monday, I won't be able to use Paypal or any other merchant gateway offered by Shopify in order to run my website. I'll have to go back to the old school way of people having to email me with what...

    PayPal Finally Got Me, This May Be the End

    Yes, true, but not for an e-commerce site like mine to integrate into my shopping cart system. I use shopify, and they have dozens of gateway merchants, none of which support tobacco related products. Paypal was the only one, and now they are wise to me!

    PayPal Finally Got Me, This May Be the End

    I got an email from Paypal today. After 17 years, they discovered I sell pipes (and more recently tobacco), and gave me seven days to comply with their legal requirements and $500 merchant gateway fee, and I won't be able to. Pipes are now considered "tobacco products", and even if I take down...

    Larrysson Pipes

    If you consider me a pro...that makes me a happy man! Yes, this is generally the ONLY forum I ever frequent. Believe it or not, I'm here most every day for a bit. But as I get older, and partly because of counselling training, I find myself more interested in listening (reading) than I do in...

    Larrysson Pipes

    BROBS, I have never stopped making pipes, but I do take breaks from time to time. The first time was a hand injury that stopped pipe making in its tracks and made me rethink relying solely on a one-career model. I disappeared for awhile, stopped selling to retailers, and worked as a gunsmith for...

    Where Can I Order Condor?

    The 25g pouch you have is Gallaher production. The new stuff is made in Poland and isn't quite the same. If you want to experience the new stuff, I'm sure there's someone in the UK that can place an order for you. That's a hint!

    Ohh..Rich Dark Honeydew...one of my favourites and only five tins left. If you've not had it before, you're in for a treat.

    Thanks, guys. I let Isaac read all your comments over my shoulder, and he's well chuffed.

    Do You Eat Breakfast?

    I've done intermittent fasting for several years now. No breakfast. First meal at 1 pm, last meal at 7 pm. On weekends when I'm working in the garden, I'll have an extra meal. I promised myself never to have trousers larger than a 30 inch waist. Intermittent fasting is how I keep my promise.

    Pipe Smoking Study, It Doesn't Look Good.

    Personally, I don't give a toss about the possible cancer implications of pipe and cigar smoking. I agree with many others here that we're burning leaf and exposing the soft tissues of our mouth with heat and smoke, and it WILL have a long term negative effect, even if we never get cancer. The...

    Strong Tobacco?

    I'm with chasingembers, I seem to be immune to nicotine. I predominately smoke the strongest tobaccos available: 1792, MB Bold Kentucky, Irish Flake, 5 brothers, Revor and all of the GH ropes and plugs. Even with big bowls, I detect not even a faint change in my brain chemistry, other than a...
