    Does Anyone Know Dave Whitney? (Broken Pipe)

    I read today on another forum that Dave Whitney passed away, and updated this thread. There are several copies of his books online. https://www.ebay.com/itm/395933871143 https://www.abebooks.com/9781795440127/OLD-BRIAR-Pipe-Smoking-Budget-1795440120/plp

    The Pipe Collector (NASPC Newsletter) -2025?

    Has anyone rec'd a 2025 edition of The Pipe Collector? In the past 10 years, I've subscribed to the email PDF edition and printed it at my office. I opted for the mailed newsletter version this year. Typically there is a February edition and I was curious if anyone received that yet.

    Send Letters to Your Representatives: Here's a Sample

    Many legislators are in favor or reducing taxes (that is a win with votoers). But doing so on a product with the reputation of tobacco products is political poison, no matter what side of the aisle they are on.

    Send Letters to Your Representatives: Here's a Sample

    They seek groups of voters. We're sadly too small in number. The cigar lobbyist my wife worked with in Maryland was surprised there were still active pipe smokers. Lobbyists can force legislative change, individuals rarely do. In Maryland, the top submissions (email/letters/calls) my wife...

    Send Letters to Your Representatives: Here's a Sample

    Oh sure, the good ones do great constituent work, that's different. Most of my wife's job was helping residents in her area. Getting their attention to introduce legislation to change state laws, that's a different story. My congressman down here was very helpful with a banking issue we...

    Send Letters to Your Representatives: Here's a Sample

    My wife spent 25 years as Chief of Staff for Maryland state officials, she read, collated and forwarded these letters and emails. A few emails is a waste of time. A small number of mailed letters might get in front of an elected official. Emails just get filed, until a substantive amount...

    Send Letters to Your Representatives: Here's a Sample

    You would want to send letters to your state officials for state taxes - the Senate & House. It gets their attention if you send during their legislative session (example Maryland runs from June to April) Get it in front of folks in the committee, all of them, tax bills would start in the Ways...

    Favorite Whole Album

    I was always an album guy and never understood 45's. My wife, only bought 45's and collection albums. Married her anyway (her original Beatles, Beach Boys and Elvis 45's are worth a lot more than my albums!).

    Do you have experience from international shipping with USPS?

    I've shipped pipes internationally via USPS 1st Class International, but never shipped tobacco. For pipes, I typically list for customs, "briar pipe parts for repair" and I've never had an issue with customs. Takes about two weeks for a pipe to get to the destination.

    Does Your Spouse Know How Much Your Pipes Cost?

    I keep all of my pipe purchases on a spreadsheet. In the past, she never asked or had any interest, purchases always came out of my funded Paypal account. She does all of the accounting in our home, for over 40 years. I'd be hard pressed to tell you an exact number of how much I make...
