    So now I have a Bulldog

    Oxidation, but that will soon be cleaned. And ssjones and I came to the same conclusion. I searched and eventually found that this was part of the around the world series as well, the one commemorating Ireland. Grizz

    So now I have a Bulldog

    The weather was better than expected and we went to a vineyard and I smoked in the designated outside area while enjoying some fine wine. NY just legalized pot, maybe some of the rules on tobacco will be loosened as well. Grizz

    So now I have a Bulldog

    I blame Johnny_Pipecleaner and his recent thread asking about everyone's favorite bulldog pipe. I didn't have a bulldog, never felt I needed a bulldog, and really never even looked closely at bulldogs until I was perusing his thread. This past weekend we went on a short vacation to Ithaca NY...

    The six dollar Dunhill!

    I thought i might give an update on the six estate pipes now that I've had a chance to smoke them all. The Dunhill: It is a great smoke. I'm not sure why, but it smoked much drier than my usual bowl. It is definitely the smallest pipe in my collection, I generally need 2X or 3x gloves and I...

    The six dollar Dunhill!

    I never expected to own a Dunhill, out of my budget. It's not a shape I am particularly drawn too, I like big hand filling pipes. That said it smoked remarkably well and there are times a light small pipe would be nice. Not for sale, it's got a home. Grizz

    The six dollar Dunhill!

    I promise to post pictures later tonight. I went to an estate sale with a large box of pipes marked "$6 each" about 20 pipes. I was tempted to just take the box to the cashier to make an offer for all, as I immediately noticed a Falcon, and I've always wanted to try one. Instead I pulled out my...

    Preferred Pipe Shape

    I don't have a preferred shape, but I have a very preferred size, BIG. I'm not talking about the smoking chamber, but the outside of the stummel. I have big hands, 3xl gloves, and don't clench, so weight is pretty much a non-issue. I like a big handfilling pipe. I like the feel of freehand or...

    The Advantages of "Too Many" Pipes (Or "Too Few")

    I want to send you a big Thank You! You have just provided me with a rational to expand my collection! Doesn't everyone need a 'Beach' Pipe? A 'Mountain Vacation' Pipe, a 'Camping' Pipe, goodness the possibilities are endless. Grizz

    The Advantages of "Too Many" Pipes (Or "Too Few")

    Once upon a time I had many pocketknives, close to a hundred, heck maybe more than a hundred. (Most of them cost at least fifty dollars, some nearly $500.) I finally looked in the mirror and decided that owning a closet full of unused pocketknives was pretty ridiculous. After all I carry just...

    Favourite Drink Pairing?

    It's been a tough year for alot of people. I am glad to hear that you are improving! I too find distractions that get me out of my head are good for my mental health. Grizz

    Loss of Taste (Not COVID Related)

    I am kinda new to pipe smoking too. Although I first smoked a pipe over thirty years ago, my total number of bowls smoked might be less than a hundred total. I find it wonderful, but it mostly falls into the special treat category of activities for me, like eating a banana split. A banana split...

    Social or Anti-Social Pipe Smoker?

    Great question. I have few people that I can honestly say are relaxing to have conversations with, and for me smoking a pipe is all about relaxation. So sometimes I smoke when my wife is around, which is excellent. But probably half the time she is busy or not in the mood, so I smoke alone. I...

    Happily Puffing in Western NY

    Good evening! My name is Ron, I'm 53 and after being a lifetime resident in South Carolina, five years ago me and my wife moved to to Western NY, Dunkirk NY specifically, on the shore of Lake Erie. I have no idea why people move south, we love it here. I first tried to smoke a pipe in college...

    Have You Quit Pipe Smoking In the Past, and Why?

    Never Smoked cigarettes. I tried pipes a couple times but could never smoke enough to get good at it. (No mentor and cheapest tobacco and pipe I could find) I stuck to mostly cigars for the better part of twenty years. I've never been a big smoker, maybe one or two cigars a month, but at other...
