    Movies with Pipe Smoking Scenes

    Watched the 2022 movie "Devotion" the other week, it's set in the Korean war about U.S. Navy Wingmen.. There is a scene 2/3rds of the way through the movie where the captain opens a regular Zippo lighter (off camera but you hear the distinctive zippo sound) and then proceeds to lift the...

    Zippo wick - Should I Fray?

    I had a regular Zippo that had issues getting sparks and put it down the flint wheel being installed facing the wrong direction, I bought another insert which fixed the problem... If you run your finger across the wheel in both directions you'll notice the difference, The ever so slightly more...

    G'day from Australia

    Welcome from Sunny soggy Tasmania... Yeap, our prices for tobacco suck big time, I try to get a few tins (mainly Peterson Gold Blend) at a time when I can afford it. Cheers

    CB Radio

    My Family was into CB's in the 70s and 80's here in Australia, You had to have a "licence" which was just a yearly subsciption with no test's or anything but that was soon phased out and now no license is required. Back in the day Australia started out with the American 23 channels and later...

    Falcon Negatives?

    I have 6 Falcons and 7 bowls ranging from the 70's to 2021, last year when I purchased my last stem I grabbed a meerschaum lined bowl at the same time and it didn't fit, but did find it fitted my oldest stem and a tight fit on second oldest stem... Ironically only 2 of my bowls fit all my stems...

    Holder for Pipe Cleaners

    Picked up this brass ashtray a few years back, the ashtray is at the front of the boot with a lift up lid, no idea what was meant to be kept in the boot opening (cigarettes maybe?) as it's too deep for normal size matches but makes a decent holder for pipe cleaners instead...

    Ebay advice???

    With eBay auctions I never bid until the last 8-6 seconds before the auction finishes... Bidding early inflates the price and creates bidding wars but bidding at the end of the auction is where I win most of the auctions that I have bid on, trick is to put in a high amount at the very end as...

    Looking For A Really Good Pipe Lighter

    I also have a Clipper Pipe lighter, love the size and feel of the lighter. But...... as a lighter it was a right royal pain. Once the flint wore down after a few uses it became harder to light requiring about 10-20 attempts to get the gas ignited, tried the the 2 flint trick but that didn't...

    Having Lighters Just To Look At

    Been using the Bic flints in my Zippo's for years now, I cut them in half with pliers as the Bic flints are usually twice the size of Zippo flints. Have never had an issue with using the Bic Flints in the Zippo's..

    Greetings From The Apple Isle, Tasmania, Australia

    Thanks Chopper, We have a few local "hippies" around here but we're pretty safe here though, now bogans are a different matter... I used to be a 30-40+ a day smoker before I moved down here, I managed to give up once for 3 months but my wife at the time wasn't happy about it and kicked me...

    Let's Show Off Our Falcons!

    My Falcons, The bent international was my first Falcon bought in the mid 80's and the straight international was originally purchased with the dental mouthpiece which I never liked and recently purchased a replacement standard mouthpiece for it. The two standard straights (AN4, AN6) were...

    Greetings From The Apple Isle, Tasmania, Australia

    @jpmcwjr , I came down here in 2011 and spent 3 weeks riding around the state via motorcycle and fell in love with the place and decided to move down, definitely a beautiful place with a lot of hidden treasures for tourists to discover.. I goggled the the royal tennnis court and recall...

    Greetings From The Apple Isle, Tasmania, Australia

    @mso489, to be honest I haven't even looked into getting pipe tobacco here in Tassie as the nearest tobacconist is about 2 hours away and doubt they would even stock much pipe tobacco, Most tobacconists that I came across in Canberra just sold Cigarettes, RYO Tobacco and gifts but their main...

    Greetings From The Apple Isle, Tasmania, Australia

    @Brendan, that's one of the joys of being in Tassie as the tourists tend to drive slow here taking in the sights, the locals tend to exceed the speed limit but do drive normally... at least in this area.

    Greetings From The Apple Isle, Tasmania, Australia

    @OzPiper, I can understand this.. Several years ago while visiting relatives in Sydney, my Sister in law asked if I could follow her in their spare car so she could put her other car in for a service, tried as hard as I could and I couldn't keep up to her in the Sydney traffic as she drives in...
