    Some of My Inherited Pipes

    A few months back I mentioned some of my grandfather’s pipes. I was cleaning today and found a little stash of them. I thought I’d share. They all need a good cleaning, except the little square one. It hasn’t been used. Edited by jvnshr: Title capitalization (please check Rule #9)

    Keeping a Tobacco Log

    I know that as time passes I’ll forget what tobacco I’ve tried and whether I liked it or not. My memory just isn’t as good as it used to be. I can’t do it with cigars or wine. Before I get into pies very far I thought I’d try something different. I was thinking of keeping a log of the tobacco I...

    Jobey Restoration

    My next project will be this little Jobey. I’m not sure the model, just what it says on the stem. Anyone know much about Jobey pipes? The stem is loose from the stummel.

    Little Willard Adjustomatic Cleanup

    This is such a cute little guy. The chamber is so small I can’t even get my finger in it. Not sure how I’ll pack it. For now I’m just cleaning. I don’t know much about Willards. I hear it is related to military men. It’s rough.

    How to Store Pipe Tobacco

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) - Bob So I’ve been reading that it is best to store tobacco in a jar. That’s great for when I buy loose tobacco from a store in a zip lock, but what if I buy it in a tin and want to keep it in the tin?

    Surprisingly Good B&M

    I was passing through a little town today and stopped off at a little place and surprised to find a rather well stocked tobacco shop. I thought it was well rounded with a large wide selection of cigars, some beverages, some pipe tobacco, and pipes and of course some cigarettes. I snapped a...

    Irish Tobacco?

    Hey y'all, I'm of Irish descent and thinking that it might be kinda cool to smoke some Irish tobacco. Is there such a thing and if there is, is it any good? I'm actually headed there this summer. Cheers, Danny

    Might Have Gone Overboard

    So to learn how to restore pipes before touching my sentimental ones, I started cruising eBay. I might have gone overboard. Oh well. I’ve got enough to keep me busy for a while. What do y’all think of my new little collection? I emailed the seller of these and he said they were his...

    Help with a Lighter

    When I inherited my pipes they came with a lighter. First question is - anyone know what it is? I can’t find any branding or logos anywhere. Second question is more technical. I filled it with butane today and it worked great for a hour. Now nothing. Any ideas on that?
