    Dr. Alan Harrelson Visits Chesterton’s in Steubenville, Ohio

    Far too much non-pipe related content for me, and the pipe related content there is doesn’t offer much for the experienced smoker/collector. And yeah, I don’t know if the accent is real or not, but it’s uh………well, it’s something hahahaha.

    How to differentiate Astley pipes made by Charatan, by Dunhill or by Ashton?

    Attack of the (Pipe) Clones Episode 3

    More or less, yeah. I believe the “peewit” shape was originally a Sixten Ivarsson creation, I’m sure the name probably originates from what he must have dubbed it at the time. Don’t know for sure though! I’m sure some Danish nerds, or people for more historically knowledgeable than I can...

    4.7 Quake in NJ!

    OH MY GOD, A 4.7!!!!!!!!!! Wouldn't have even been worth noting amongst the people in the room here, hahhaa. I get it though, if you're not used to it, it's fun I'm sure. Transpose those two numbers and you might get Alaska's attention, hahaha.
