    Cats? Lazy? For Them It's an Art Form, Like Ballet

    A little cooperative woodshop I used to be a part of rented space in an old industrial building that was just starting to renovate. One of the guys got a couple cats from a specialty feral cat rescuer/relocator to help keep the mice away from our unit. We were told not to expect to see them...

    Building Large Pipe Racks For Large Pipes.

    How did you make the bowl rest divots?

    Lester Young Repeats as USA Slow Smoking Champion!

    The FAST smoke tobacco was Malort-topped. The SLOW smoke tobacco was a burley blend thoughtfully made by LJ Peretti and was available for sale in larger than 3 gram portions at the show.

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    I kept my mouth shut about which stem and stummel I was more attracted to during the commission process, and let my spouse pick first after she was surprised with the set at the Blue Room Briars table. She chose the white-stemmed pipe right away. Jesse then admitted that he had been...

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    The darker one has very similar flame grain, tho no quilting. You'll have to forgive my photography for not showing it off better.

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    The Juma accent is a nod to one of his "get to know you" questions. It's my spouse's favorite color. The symbolism of two rings is no accident, either.

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    I think they perfectly bridge our two collections. My Spouse remarked that they look so different to the eye, but feel almost identical in the hand. Mr. Jones did an outstanding job.

    Commissioned Set of Two Pipes Less Than 1k, Received!

    If you recall, I polled this group last year about who you might ask to make a set of two pipes. One each for my wife and I. Original thread here. After considering the short list you were able to provide (and thank you all for that, I had no interest in or capacity for the from-scratch...

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    Limousine rides? Was that one of the perks of being slow smoke champion? Because, if so, I will start practicing a lot harder.

    Solar Eclipse. Have Fun.

    From Chicago , 93% of totality was just neat. I agree with Cosmic that the weird shadows were the coolest part.

    Eight State Burley Question

    As an experiment, you can get a pouch of Sir Walker Raleigh or Half and Half from a convenience store and try a bowl. They're burley based and have about as much PG in it as the leaf will hold.

    Let's See That Knowledge

    They have a few on display here at Arlington Pipe and Cigar. I bought one of the 2014 a few years back and it was like you say - wrapped in thin cellophane and dry as a bone.

    Pipe Lamps for your smoking room.

    It wouldn't be that hard to wire one of those candle lamp/night light bulbs into a cob. Not quite as sleek, but definitely a pipe shaped light. Buy a whole bag of Missouri Meerschaum seconds and make an antler chandelier style pipe lamp!

    Pipe Lamps for your smoking room.

    Saw these while shopping around for lights for our new house. Thought I'd pass the link along in case any of you have a smoking room in need of thematic illumination. https://www.bulbsquare.com/collections/wall-lights/products/modern-creative-pipe-resin-hardware-1-light-wall-sconce-lamp

    Sam Gawith used to sell limited editions that way, around xmas every year.

    Silver Eskimos

    Interesting. Thanks for adding some context.

    Silver Eskimos

    The Eskimos look applied after the pipe was made to me, but let's ask our resident jeweler for a more informed opinion. @cosmicfolklore

    Chicago 2024: Who's going?

    The $50 is entry for all events Thur thru Sun and does include $25 in drink tickets for the hotel. $25 is for Sunday only show floor and smoking tent. The club does lament that neither attendance nor exhibiting is as inexpensive as it has been in the past, but A. What is, and B. This is a much...

    Pipe Shop Reccomendations in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London.

    JJ Fox's bulk blends are mainly from Gawith and Germaine's. They're having the same trouble keeping them in stock that the rest of us are, despite surely being a very old of not original account.

    Pipe Shop Reccomendations in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London.

    JJ Fox is a historic location and a lovely lounge - really one of only a handful of indoor places one can smoke in London. I go whenever I'm in the city, but they don't have a huge selection of pipes, and their bulk tobacco is expensive and often out of stock. Go for to enjoy being in that...
