    Question About a Dr Grabow Pipe

    A friend on a watch collecting forum has recently taken up pipe smoking and has a Dr Grabow pipe - I've no idea how old it is but I don't think it is new. He has a problem in that the stem is a very loose fit, but the tenon appears to be metal (see pictures). Now I am aware that some pipes...

    Peterson St Patrick's Day Pipes

    I ordered two pipes from smokingipipes.com on 19th Feb hoping they would arrive in time for St Patrick's Day. Although SP were - as usual - very prompt it putting the order together and dispatching it as I'm sure everyone is aware international shipping is all a bit slow at the moment. They...

    Anyone Familiar with Lorenzo Pipes? Identification Question.

    I'm appealing to the wise heads of this forum! Over on a watch forum (watchuseek or WUS) I started a thread "Pipes and Watches" which unsurprisingly is for people to post pictures of wristwatches (or pocket watches or even clocks should they so wish) posing with tobacco pipes. I know there are...

    Great Service from SmokingPipes.com

    I mean to post this a couple of weeks ago but... Some may recall in another thread that I mentioned back in September that Brazilian customs in Rio had reject a parcel of tobacco pipes I'd ordered from smokingpipes.com for the rather odd reason that 'imports of e-cigarettes are not permitted'...

    Interesting Encounter with the Police

    Pretty much every morning I go for a 10km walk; the first hour and a bit is done at a fastish 'exercise' pace but then I usually reach quite a nice large bench which surrounds 3 sides of a large planter (with large trees) on the street outside an indoor games/entertainment complex on the main...

    Why Is "Three Nuns" So Named?

    I did a DuckDuckGo search of this site and I don't think the question has been asked (or answered) before but apologies if I missed it (as an aside; quite a few of the responses thrown up by that search engine - basically anything with 'Three Nuns" failed to open properly in this site). Anyway...

    An Observation on Smoking Grousemoor

    This is fly season in Sydney. Not fly fishing, but those annoying flying things that cover you as you walk or sit in open spaces. For those not familiar with the Aussie fly; they are best described in the words of a young Brazillian friend of my wifes: "They are not like flies in Brazil; when...

    Smoking Buddy

    Like many others on this forum I usually just smoke by myself; mainly sitting on a bench in the park reading a book or watching the sail boats in Sydney Harbour. However, in the warmer months I have a buddy who likes to come and just sit and keep me company. He's not about at the moment...
