    Tinker Toy Pipe Stand

    Apparently I was bored because I created this today. I’ll make you one for just $49.95. 😃

    My Long M&T Pipe Story

    I’ll start with pictures, and show you the pipe I’m talking about. I bought this pipe via eBay abiut 2 years ago. It came from a seller in Israel, and we had talked back and forth about the pipe and haggled a bit and finally reached a bargain. I got the pipe and it was filthy and...

    Italian Pipes, Just My Style?

    I’ve been smoking a pipe since September of 2021, so please know I am a relatively new smoker compared with most of you. The first “name” pipes I pursued were Charatan, and I like classic Brit pipes in general largely because of the traditional styling and quality build on many of them. My...

    Don Mock Pipe Availability?

    I just finished a bowl in this Don Mock pipe and I decided I’d really like another one (another Mock pipe, I’ll hold off on another bowl for a bit). I’ve been watching the usual internet locations for a while, but they just don’t seem to come up for sale very often. Any chance you guys know...

    Comoy’s Three Part C Sanding

    I have recently picked up a couple of Comoy’s Tradition pipes that have oxidation on the stems. Both pipes have the three part C. I’m only showing a pic of one of them, but the condition is very similar on both. Is there anything I need to know before sanding the area with the three part C on...

    In Praise of Mixture 79

    The TL;DR version is that I like this stuff and recommend it. Sutliff’s Mixture 79 is a blend I had been curious about for a long time. Finally, roughy six weeks ago I finally bought a pouch. This pouch had no seal and some of the toppings you hear so much about with this blend may have...

    Mixture 79, Topping Stronger in Tub?

    I finally tried Mixture 79 recently, and I really enjoy it. I bought a pouch, and I could smell the black licorice (anise) smell heavily through the pouch. This is the type of pouch that didn’t have a seal, you just open it and there is the tobacco. Although the black licorice smell is quite...

    GBD Rondelle Transplant Help

    I have a GBD that is missing the rondelle. I finally found a suitable donor pipe and I would like to remove the rondelle and place it on my pipe. How should I go about removing it? Will heat alone do it?

    GH Broken Scotch Cake and B&B Question

    I’m not talking about the delicious alcoholic beverage (Benedictine and Brandy), the B&B I’m referring to is GH Burley and Bright. I tried GH broken Scotch Cake for the first time today. Not bad, pretty light fare. Probably glad I just bought a sample, as it doesn’t do as much for me as other...

    Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match

    As I believe many of you have already tried this product and are very familiar with it, I will just sum this up with a variation on a quote attributed to Ben Franklin: Sutliff Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. No matter how many blends I try...

    Pipe Puffer in Greenwood IN

    I made my first trip today to the Pipe Puffer. It’s about a 40 minute drive from where I live. They had a nice selection, and had some of the recent small batch releases in stock (From Beyond and Anthology 2023). The employees were very friendly and helpful. They had new and estate pipes...

    I Finally Made a Stem Black Again

    I have seen pipes on rebornpipes.com and here on pipes magazine.com and elsewhere that have nasty stems that become black again, but I had never been fully satisfied when doing it myself. I’m finally satisfied (except for one little thing) with a stem I cleaned. I chose a tough one, I really...

    Pipe Stain Advice

    Hello, I have this Rembrandt pipe (Wally Frank Ltd stamped on bottom) that I bought a while back. I had decided to try and really clean it up and make it look nice. Unfortunately while doing that, I inadvertently removed the stain. It isn’t a big deal, except that now the grain doesn’t look...

    Austria Stamping Near the Button?

    Have any of you ever seen this before? There is a stamp right next to the button. Any idea what company did this?

    BBB NE PLUS ULTRA 300 Pipe Dating

    I just picked up my first BBB pipe. On one side of the shank it has the BBB diamond logo over BEST MAKE over NE PLUS ULTRA. On the other side of the shank it is printed MADE IN ENGLAND over the number 300. The stem has HAND CUT stamped on one side, and I’m pretty sure it is a brass BBB diamond...

    Polishing a Turd

    Short version, I changed a pipe into something I like better than what it was. Pics at end. They say you can’t polish a turd, but I think I have come close. I bought a group of three pipes from an eBay seller recently. I was only interested in two of the pipes, and made my bid based on that. I...

    Fribourg and Treyer Cut Virginia Plug Availability

    I have been looking for this stuff for quite a while, with no luck. Earlier this year I found one place that had it, but you could only buy three tins per order and I wasn’t able to make an order before they were out of it. Is this stuff still being made? Is it normal that it is out of stock...

    Sergio Pipe, Related to Ascorti?

    I just picked up this Sergio pipe that was made in Italy. When I look up Sergio, I see that was a name that Ascorti used for a very short time after he left Caminetto. Is there any chance that this pipe is related to that? I don’t see any other info on other Sergio pipes, but I really just don’t...
