    Old Kaywoodie Rarity

    I may have the largest or close to it Kaywoodie collection now. Nice to see this post. It’s a beauty! I’m working on putting mine up on a site but I’m slow and hopefully will over the next few months. Really nice grain on that one!

    Do You Clench your Pipe?

    I 50/50 clench and hold, often to type like I am now. I prefer a partially bent pipe for that reason and use thinner walled softy bits for the most part.

    Which Luxury Lighter?

    I have a lot of different lighters of every type and I gotta say, the Old Boy is the most consistent for me.

    I Have This Pfeifenwerkstatt T.H.A.L. Pipe. Does Anyone Have Any Info On The Brand? I Can’t Find Much. Cool Pipe Though.

    Thanks. Yeah I broke a pipe in my rotation recently. Really no clue how it happened. I removed the stem and tenon just broke off. Never dropped it or anything. A really cool bent Ascorti Business with a Fumé rim. Loved that pipe. Packed it away until I can repair it. So I’m searching for a...

    I Have This Pfeifenwerkstatt T.H.A.L. Pipe. Does Anyone Have Any Info On The Brand? I Can’t Find Much. Cool Pipe Though.

    I bought this a couple years ago and haven’t smoked it. I was going through some pipe boxes and always liked the look. There’s very little to no info I can find on the company or maker. Just curious if anyone had any info. I bought it from a German family store I’ve got quite a few pipes...

    Which Luxury Lighter?

    I’ve got a good amount of lighters for pipes and cigars but of the nicer ones… Kiribi is what I started with. Affordable and I’ve been happy with them but had a few issues. I finally got an IM Corona Old Boy and blown away about how much tighter everything is. It truly lights every single...

    Pipe Sighting at the Movies

    I worked on the upcoming Oppenheimer movie (or did it come out) spent a lot of time identifying his pipes, locating vintage models, getting multiples of those and staining, stressing them to be alike. Findin triplicates of each, etc. Unfortunately, I had to back out due to family health...

    Help With Band Material ID On Parker Pipe

    I’m a bit embarrassed to even ask, but there’s this sliver of doubt going either way that’s driving me nuts. lol. There’s no stamping on the band and it appears to be aluminum or nickel but I would have assumed they’d use silver bands. I’ve only had a couple so I’m not well versed with the...

    KB&B Kaywoodie.

    With the KBB in clover on it stamped and it says Kaywoodie also, it’s pre 1930’s most likely. I’ve got a couple hundred Kaywoodie but not a ton of early ones. I just had to date a 1926-29 shape though and remember that off top of my head.

    Recent TAD Pick-Ups

    This is Nov-Jan. I missed quite a bit. Got 2 lbs of Folklore which I like a lot so relieved. Some ordained. Wessex Burley Slices, A dozen Peterson EMP and others. Went overboard but … well yeah. I shouldn’t have. But it’s been fun organizing it all.

    How to Date Savinelli Tobacco Tins like Juno or Janus?

    Yeah. Normal round tins. No dates. Only numbers are in the barcode area. So… no joy I don’t think. About to open Janus for first time and see how it is.

    Tobacco Acquisition Disorder

    Here’s about 2/3 of my Nov-Jan purchase. I got a few more lbs of random. Folklore, FVF Plug, and a good bit of EMP. Also more Rattray’s and I don’t even know. If my wife saw….

    ***What Are You Smoking, February 2023?***

    Today… started with Folklore in a brand new Ardor I’m breaking in. Followed up by a freshly opened tin of Presbyterian Ordained trying it out. Then had some Fat bastard by Watch City Cigar in a Dagner Poker. Smoked a big bowl of Full Virginia Flake in a Sav 614 Tortuga, evening I smoked a...

    Tobacco Acquisition Disorder

    Mold ?

    I opened a tin of Balkan Sobranie. Had the hiss sound and all … looks like mold but hard to tell. Jarred it and it’s been sitting for a month or two but I guess better safe than sorry and tossing it … only tin I’ve ever opened with mold or what looks to be mold. Certainly not bloom/plume. I got...
