    Pets: Yes, They Will Eat You!

    I have many friends who are pet lovers and in particular several who are cat lovers. Cats are interesting animals in that they have had less proximity to humans over evolutionary time than dogs have, and thus retain many of their traits of independence---a fact which many cat "owners" will...

    Kopp to Handle "Worldwide Distribution" of HU Tobaccos

    Title edited for capitalization——please see Rule nine for titles. From Kopp Pipes Instagram account: "The deal is closed! We welcome Hans Wiedemann on board. KOPP Tobaccos will take care for the worldwide distribution of HU Tobacco..." I would assume this means that HU will eventually become...

    [REFERENCE] Things I Found in My Tobacco

    Title edited for brevity. This is the complete orginal: [REFERENCE] Things I Found in My Tobacco - Episode 1 - Acadian Gold (Perique Method) [INTRODUCTION] Inspired by a recent inquiry into some white 'growths' in a tin of Robert McConnell Perique, I thought I would take a look around in my...

    [RESQUEST FOR HELP] Anyone in/near Denver CO Zip 80211 - Reward Offered - 8/31/2023

    Hi Folks, I'm having a bit of trouble with the Post Office. Some of my mail has been diverted to Denver rather than Minneapolis due to an error at scan-in upon arrival in the USA. A box with some very old tobacco-related books has been delivered to the wrong address in Denver instead of my...

    Dan/DTM Distributor in the USA?

    I have a friend that works at a B&M and one of the ingredients of their house blends is Devil's Holiday, which they've been unable to get their hands on for a while now. I know that long ago CAO was the distributor but I'm unable to find who the current distributor is. The B&M were also told...

    The Latest from eBay - International COVID Shipping Restrictions

    I thought I'd let everyone know the latest from eBay. As some of you know there have been restrictions on shipping from USA to countries abroad pretty much without advance warning. Options for shipping via USPS to, say, Australia just disappear and a service interruption notice appears like...

    Interview with Tad Gage - by Chuck Stanion at Smokingpipes

    I'd like to take a few minutes to direct everyone's attention to a recent interview given by Tad Gage for Chuck Stanion on behalf of Smokingpipes. Some younger pipe smokers may not be familiar with Tad but if you've been involved in the pipe smoking community for any amount of time you've...

    Stunning Recent Arrivals from England

    Massive mail call from the brothers @Birddog66 and @simong . Impossible to put into words, especially as the detail and significance of the items contained therein would frankly require a book to properly document. I'm floored. I'll be months picking through the many contents of the box these...

    Smokingpipes - Vintage McClelland Tins Restock | VIP Exclusive

    "We recently realized that over the years, we'd accumulated a number of old McClelland tins — the result of a few return orders, canceled orders, and other rare mishaps. We're not in the business of selling tobacco on the secondary market, but it seemed appropriate to make these very special...

    Estervals To Recommence Shipping to USA [5.23.21]

    I thought some of you would be happy to know that Estervals has decided that DHL Express is a safe option for shipping to the USA. I was able to convince Andreas Harm, Estervals CEO, to conduct a little "test" to see if the DHL Express logistics would in fact provide a door-to-door service, thus...

    Early [Kaywoodie] Drinkless 'Aged Bruyere 05'

    Occasionally I'll get a new arrival in the mail and proceed to clean it up immediately rather than put it off. This interesting early Drinkless got a thorough cleaning within minutes of coming through the door, specifically because I was eager to search for signs of a faded model stamp, which...

    Early Jost Bulldog by CPF

    I enjoy the Jost's pipes made by Comoy and keep an eye out for them, although I don't yet own one. I came across this one and thought it was interesting and likely historically significant. The pipe itself seems to be clearly made by CPF as the shape and stem are the style they had that was...

    'Sanitizing' an Beat-Up '84 Dunhill Cumberland [Photo-Heavy]

    Like most of you I often buy batches of pipes when I'm really only after a couple of them, and intend (in the best of cases) to restore and resell the other pipes. I bought a few rarities and this thing came with the package. It's so beat up that I can't resell it, but it looks like it will...

    [2.23.21] Lawrence Ferlinghetti Dead at 101 Years

    Bell's Three Nuns Cutter-Top ~1950s [Photos]

    I think it was sometime in 2009 that a good friend pulled some old Three Nuns out of a jar he had stored in his collection. The little spun coins had turned practically black after so many years in the jar and the flavor was rich and satisfying. I made up my mind, unknowingly then, that I'd...

    (As the title suggests) some of you with an interest in the historical side of things will find this video amusing. Synopsis (from the website): "New York: Wilke Pipe Shop in Midtown Manhattan. Woman in front of many jars of tobacco. Woman weighs shag tobacco. Tobacco is put into a bag and then...

    Buying Pipes on Auction for Immediate Resale?

    I'm curious, but have any of you ever purchased a pipe at auction with the intent to immediately relist it for sale again at auction? I've just seen it done with an item I was following and wonder how commonplace the practice might be, and whether the community has any thoughts on the matter...

    [WTT] Seeking Transatlantic Tobacco Forwarding Partnership - UK & Denmark

    Hello. I wanted to inquire whether any members in good standing, residing in the UK & Denmark, would be interested in a trading arrangement. I'm interested in purchasing some items from UK tobacconists (and certain UK eBay sellers who don't ship internationally), and from the Danish Pipe Shop...

    Do I Have Any Friends in Chicago?

    Just curious, as I'm not sure where everybody is from---I had a question I'd like to ask of someone who lives in the Chicago area. Yes, it's pipe related.
