    Comedy Pipe?

    Certainly do.....Great chap .... I doubt'd he'd have been heard of by the non-uk forum members though....I didn't remember him being a pipe man of the year though but now you mention it....

    Comedy Pipe?

    This chap, Jethro, was a West Country comedian in the UK.....the second skit in this video shows him with a particularly large pipe....is it real or a prop do you think?

    My virginity has been taken ...

    Have to admit I don't like Consumate gentlemen either nor the popular Early Morning Pipe.....try a few sample packs ... After three years I now have my favourites but I also have some shelved tins I will give away when I find another local pipe smoker

    Screw in bulldog stem problem

    Hi chaps, thanks for all the pointers and advice- I tried a bit of everything. In the end I warmed the stem very gently, wound some pvc tape around the thread and eased the threaded tenon out a smidge....it worked an absolute treat and is now perfectly aligned! just need to give it a salt...

    Screw in bulldog stem problem

    Thanks for that - Chester is not so far from me so that would be cool! and I will try the teflon tape (I have loads....a lifetime's supply in fact!) before I go any further.

    Screw in bulldog stem problem

    Thanks...that will be a challenge but I see what you are saying - I will wait for the concensus and go from there as you say....I noticed the stem is actually a little loose too but imagine that will tighten with smoking and moisture so don't think I will try and adjust that bit yet

    Screw in bulldog stem problem

    Three additional photos as suggested, thanks for all the feedback so far, much appreciated! I hoped it was real amber but suspect that isn't the case....although it is in very good unchewed condition.....

    Screw in bulldog stem problem

    Hi all, I have just bought and ebay estate pipe a cased bulldog, it doesn't appear to be a brand but it does have SP on the silver band. I bought it as one to restore and have got it cleaned, restained and polished and its looking promising.....however... I have an issue in as much as the stem...

    My Great Great Grandpappy

    This is my great grandfather born in 1875 England-he was recovering from pernicious anaemia (although it killed him shortly after) in Bournemouth on seaside holiday in the 1930s after a life as a butler and valet. I had this photo for years and only recently spotted that he was enjoying his pipe...

    Army Mount

    I know this is an old thread but I have two, and a system, all Peterson and after a couple of years with a pipe these have now become my go to pipes.....they are so easy to pull apart and blow out the moisture in seconds that I find them so much more relaxing than the others

    Pipes and the BBC

    BBC is so bad these days I don't even have a licence as I have no intention of watching it .... but when they did do comedy you can't beat Alf Garnet as an ambassador of the briar!

    UK Pipe Smokers....or Lack Thereof

    Saw one myself last week at a bus stop in Staffordshire! I would have offered him a lift but we were going in opposite directions! Really took me by surprise ....

    What was Smoking a Pipe Like 100 Years Ago?

    My Lady Nicotine: a study in smoke by JM Barrie was published in 1890, as well as being a social commentary of the time in a very funny way, it gives a great insight to pipe and cigar smoking during that era. I enjoyed it so much on my kindle I searched out and bought a hard back copy!
