    Seeking Opinions on Punch Pipe Tobacco (Lane LTD)

    Howdy guys and dolls, As the thread title suggests, I’m looking for input on Lane LTD’s Punch. I’ve read the reviews at TR and SPC, but I want PM members’ opinions. I’m a huge Lat fan, and have an opportunity to grab a few tins for ~$6 each. Is that a fair price, does it pack well, burn too...

    In Search of a Meerschaum Pipe Carved in the Visage of Julius Caesar.

    As the title indicates, I’m in search of such a meerschaum that is reasonably priced. By reasonably priced I mean no more than $2-3 hundred dollars. Currently I’m unable to spend more than this. I’ve searched but have yet to find such a pipe. There are some tempting ones, and I’ll settle for a...

    A Thank You. Life, It’s About People.

    Thank you my friend, from the bottom of my heart. This means the world to me. I am blessed. You know who you are :) Pictures don’t really do this stand justice. Then again, it’s likely the darned photographer. The silver tipped piece on the right is a tamper. I love it! All of it. Much...

    Does Nicotine Make You Sleepy?

    I’ve read where nicotine goes so far in some people as to actually make them sleepy. And while it relaxes me and clears my mind, I’ve never gotten the “time for a nap” effect. It’d be quite helpful on nights like tonight when my old pal Insomnia stops by for a most unwelcome visit. Harrumph...

    Your Hidden Gem Tobaccos! Time to Share ‘Em.

    Okay, so the FDA is looming large. I vote everyone share their secret obscure (or maybe not-so-obscure) favorite blends that you secretly covet. Out with it old chaps! Pip pip! Mine is F&K Black Bayou Mist. Smoky Latakia up front, blended perfectly with tart/sour/slightly bitter oriental and...

    Snapped Stem! Please Help?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob Howdy folks! Okay, so I’ve got a pipe with a pretty cleanly snapped stem. It’s a “Preben Holm Fancy 300, Hand Made In Denmark.” I’m reasonably certain the stem is acrylic. It fits in-place perfectly which of course tells me the snap is...

    I Want This Pipe!

    It’s around $300 USD. I’ve wanted this bad boy for a few months now. TAD is winning every battle because it has to. Otherwise... Don’t know quite why I’m captured by this little gem. I’ve no interest in Bentley Motors automobiles. ??‍♂️ What pipes are on your wishlists?

    Seeking Input on Watch City Blends

    Hey guys and dolls, Our old friend “Panhandler/rdavid”s estate has some Watch City blends in it. I’ve looked them up and have read some reviews on TR of course. He’s got a few jars of it, and without digging through it I recall he has “Nor’Easter,” as well as a few others. I might just have to...

    Interests Besides Pipes / Pipe Smoking?

    This may have been asked before. Nonetheless with the newer members (of whom I consider myself): what other interests do you have beyond the pipe world? Not counting time with family, just your hobbies. Myself: music (no talent, just an ear), Pool (pocket billiards), music, reading, oh and...

    Need Help Identifying Freehand

    Hello all! I’ve a nice unsmoked estate Freehand. It’s bursting with character, and the only marking is “Anaps 12.” (See photo). The back of the plateau rim has a dark spot, and I’d wager it’s simply the briar coloration in that area (I’m open to what you pros say). I’m nigh on certain this guy...

    Overview Picture of My Comoy Estate Pipes

    Hello all. The Comoy pipes in the estate I am charged with have generated some interest. I wanted to give an overview picture before proceeding to the “lots of 6” pictures that will be uploaded to the interested parties as soon as reasonably possible. I’ll try and get them up today, but push...

    Peterson’s Bowl Coating. Still ‘Odd’?

    Hey gang, I’ve been meaning to ask this since my summer hiatus. Before I went on cigar season (just can’t seem to enjoy a pipe in the hot humid summer), there was talk of Peterson’s ‘new’ bowl coatings being so unsavory that some folks were reaming them down to the bare briar and breaking them...

    Paging Dr. Comoy; Pipe Repair Surgeons!

    Well, this estate collection continues to surprise as I dig though all these pipes. It’s got some gems (I’m going to list those here for you guys and gals first). Anyway, I’d sure like suggestions on repairing this stem on this otherwise nice Comoy (once it’s polished and cleaned):

    Putting Together A Pipe Restoration Kit. What Are Some Recommended Tools I’ll Need?

    Hello all, So as the title says, I’m getting some tools together to start down the road on my new pipe restoration hobby. Please add or take away / give advice on some tools I’ll likely need if you have a minute and don’t mind throwing me a bone :) • Variable speed hand drill, fitted into a...

    Cleaning a Clear ‘Yellowed’ Stem?

    This stem is from a pipe that’s pushing my noob restoration skills (chosen for exactly that purpose). Anyway, I’m sure the stains in the channel aren’t a problem, but the stem itself appears to have taken a yellow sheen. My question is, will the yellow sand out or has it permeated through the...
