    GBD (French) Pipe Dating Help

    Well @npod triggered my PAD with his 10o years of the Prince Pipe post. I don't have a prince in my collection, so I did a little hunting and found this GBD Prince at a price point I thought, what the heck .... So, a couple questions: 1. Any idea on the date? From my limited knowledge of...

    Lighter That Works In High Altitudes

    A couple times a year I end up in the mountains for a period of time. Generally at an altitude of 10,000 feet or so. Of course, I take my pipe with me. The problem is, none of my butane pipe lighters work at that altitude. My pipe lighters are cheap lighters, so that may be part of the...

    Storage of 250g boxes

    I have a couple 250g boxes of SG FVF on the way. I'm not necessarily trying to "age" these, but the reality is I only smoke a few bowls a week and have some 50g tins of SG FVF (along with a variety of other tobacco) I will use up first, so it may be a significant amount of time before I get to...

    Castello 55

    So my new 55 arrived. In looking at the stamping, on the bottom of the pipe it is stamped B45. What does this signify? I will some more photos when I have time to take some decent shots. Thanks jojoc

    Risk of ghosting a pipe

    I understand the wisdom of not smoking aromatics and non-aros in the same pipe. What about mixing various non-aros? Is there a problem with smoking English blends and Virginians in the same pipe? Can you smoke both pure English and English/Orientals? How separate do you need to be? I'm not...

    Close Up Photos

    I have slowly been able to learn and figure out how to get a decent photo of a pipe. It takes me some time, but I can do it. However, I have yet to figure out how to get a good close up shot of the bowl stamping. I see that some are able to post crystal clear close ups of stamping. How do...

    Mail Call - what should I try first

    I realize for many, this is not a big order, but for me it is. This represents my largest tobacco order to date. I only smoke a couple times a week, so it will take me a long time to work through this much tobacco. Although I have smoked cigars and pipes for 20 years, most of that time I was...

    Travel Case

    I don't travel a lot, but a few times a year I am gone for anywhere from few days to up to 10 days. I'm looking for suggestions for an affordable way to pack 4 - 6 pipes. My criteria: 1. it needs to be compact enough to fit within my computer bag 2. provide some protection for the pipes...

    Greetings from Idaho

    I live in North Idaho. Been smoking cigars and pipes off and on from the late 1990s. Most of that time I was more into cigars, but have moved more to my pipes over the last couple years. I've lurked around a bit, mostly doing research on different pipes. Decided it was time to create an account.

    1990's Peterson Killarney

    I have what appears to be a somewhat unique Killarney red. I purchased it new from a small shop in I believe 1999, although it may have been 2000. My hunch is it had set in the inventory for some time as it was not a high-volume shop, so may have been new old stock. The interesting things...
