Dino Disappointment
I bought tickets to this event because my grandson#1 loves dinosaurs. What a rip-off! While there were some exhibits and rides half the convention floor was empty. Not at all what I was expecting. While my grandson really enjoyed seeing the life sized dinosaurs there just weren't enough of...- keith929

Breaking in a New Pipe
I am old school and I am not ashamed. I have always found my method especially effective for how I like to break in a new/estate pipe. First: I coat the bowl with a very lite coating of honey. Second: I find a particular piece of music that helps me slow down. I fill my new acquisition with...- keith929

Cob Lovers
Missouri Meerschaum and Cornell & Diehl have collaborated to produce two new cobs. They are being sold on Smoking Pipes website. I just snagged two for myself. I am sure they will sellout fast since the price is right.- keith929

Rejection Can Be a Good Thing
A few weeks ago I sent this pipe to SP.com as an estate for credit in an effort to weed out pipes that I hadn't smoked in a while. It was rejected and when I asked why they pointed out that it had a rather significant tooth hole on the underside of the button that I hadn't noticed. I...- keith929

My first Rad Davis
After reading the rave reviews given to Rad Davis pipes I decided to commission one for myself. I really enjoyed his interpretation of the Devil Anse so that was the design I picked. My pipe arrived about five days ago and I delayed gratification until today when I could enjoy that first smoke... -

Show Us Your Best Smoker(s)
If you had to choose just one or two pipes in your collection that are what you consider your "best smokers" what would they be and why? For me the answer would be my pair of Bewlay Emeralds. When I purchased these pipes back in the 70s they were bright green and part of a limited production... -
Briar Fatigue ?
Has this ever happened to you? I just finished deep cleaning my entire pipe collection(89 and still growing). Now for some strange reason I don't want to smoke any of my briar pipes. For the past week the only pipes I seem to reach for are my meerschaums. Normally I reach for one of my pipes at...- keith929

Dog Done it
My black lab got it in his head that my Ken Sukurai freehand looked just like his chew toy so he took it out of my ashtray and this is the result. In the past I have read about the excellent work done by Walker Briar Works, do you think he can restore my "baby" to pristine condition?- keith929

Is it me ?
I just purchased tobacco from a shop I have patronized in the past but will never visit again. The owner maintains a smoking room in the back of his establishment for cigar smokers who pay him a healthy monthly fee to store their cigars and for the use of the room as a smoking lounge. I filled...- keith929
