    How Do You Store Your Pipes ?

    Not a bad idea, BriarBuck. A friend gave me a nice humidor that is basically empty. I would still like to know where Sable got his pipe boxes.

    Recommend Me A Pipe

    Sweet little pipe and at $50 you can't go wrong. If you don't like it, send it to me.

    Todays Haul

    I owned several in my younger days. About the only thing that wears out are the tubes. The hard part nowadays would be finding replacement tubes although I imagine there is a source for them somewhere.

    How Do You Store Your Pipes ?

    Sable - You wrote: They’re cases with internal fittings to hold anywhere from 15 to 21 pipes per case. A few years back I bought a half dozen of them on eBay. I’m pretty sure that they were made in China, they were cheap, made cheap, and do the job. This sounds like just what I need but I was...

    Won't Pass a Pipe Cleaner

    I am restoring a number of estate pipes for resale and could use a good set of needle files. There are a number of sets on Amazon but which are the best for pipe work? Can anyone recommend one?

    Pipe Stem Drill?

    I think I will look in Lowes for this. Thanks.

    Pipe Stem Drill?

    I'm restoring some pipes to put up for sale. Several need to have a larger stem hole. Where can I buy a drill to open up the stem? I have seen them somewhere but now can't find them. Thanks.

    Restaining Question

    I bought Morgans St Patrick's day Bones CW and thought I asked for a yellow stem but received a green one. Now that I look at it I think I will stain the stumel green. Wish me luck. I'll report on my progress.

    Noshing While Piping?

    I smoke before or after eating, usually after. While I am smoking my mouth is busy with the pipe.

    Years Smoking Poll

    I bought my first briar pipe from Owl Drugstore in Wagoner, Oklahoma when I was a junior in high school. That was 1958 and have smoked a pipe(s) off and on ever since. So that's 61 years and counting. Keeping it smokey as Fishbanjo would say.

    If You Were Stranded On a Deserted Island With Only One Tobacco...

    I could name several but if forced to pick just one I might say Plum Pudding Special Reserve. I'm smoking that as I write this. If I was smoking something else I might name that. ?

    Do You Really Like to Smoke a Pipe With Filter

    If a pipe comes with a filter I generally use one it, if it doesn't come with a filter then obviously I don't. I think a filter helps me smoke dryer (gurgleless?) and keeps bits of ash and tobacco out of my mouth. When the filter is removed and replaced it is obvious that some crud has been...

    Guess The Pipe Maker (December 2019)...

    Rigoletto? I have several like that, but you said it wasn't Italian. Hmmm.

    Castello & Dunhill

    There is more than one other drummer here. I love djembe drums and have seven of them in various sizes, the best being large diameter drums hand made in Ghana. I have more pipes than drums, but then, you can't smoke a drum.

    Your First Pipe & Tobacco

    My first pipe was a drugstore cob and Prince Albert in a pocket-sized can when I was a junior in high school in 1958. My first real pipe was a London Royal billiard from the same drugstore when I went off to college in 1959. I smoked it off and on until I graduated from college with an ROTC...

    Let's Discuss Birth Year Pipes. Photos Appreciated.

    Sounds like Dunhill is about the only pipe that can be dated accurately. I would love to find a birthyear pipe but 1941 would be hard to find. Any suggestions from members?

    New Pete 305 Standard System

    I have 3 Peterson P-lip system pipes and I love them. Since I wear dentures, the P-lip directs the smoke to the roof of my mouth and not my tongue which results in a cooler smoke.

    Unpopular Opinion - I Dont Like 1-Q

    1Q is nice by itself but not something I want to smoke all the time. It makes a pretty good blending tobacco to give some sweetness and good room note to something on the harsh side. I have a container of 50/50 1Q and Dark Fired Kentucky that I enjoy.
