    It Took 2 Years To Find This Bully

    Up until this past year I’d never had a bulldog. I decided about 2 years ago that I wanted to add one to my collection. I set myself a few requirements. 1. Ser Jacopo. 2. Couldn’t be HUGE. 3. Smooth finish. 4. Silver accent. 5. It had to be an estate. I checked SP.com 2x week for about 2 years...

    1st Experience With AlPascia

    Ordered this Ser Jacopo bulldog (my 1st bulldog) over the weekend. It was in Italy on Monday and it was in Arkansas on Wednesday. I was impressed with that shipping time! The pipe arrived thoroughly protected and gift wrapped. Shipping was $11. I registered/made an account with the site and...

    Found This Pipe Stand On The Beach

    I’m spending the week on Anastasia Island in St. Augustine, FL. Always picking up shells but this caught my eye this morning bc I thought it might fit a pipe pretty nicely. Looks ok to me😀

    My Visit To The Country Squire

    I turned 40 last month and to celebrate my family is driving down to have dinner with some very good friends at our favorite restaurant in St Augustine FL. Going thru Jackson MS was not the most direct way but this way I got to stop at the Squire. I was greeted with handshakes and introductions...

    What I Brought To Smoke On Vacation

    I’ve been VERY busy at work since Christmas. This week I’m road-tripping with my family and we are heading to North Carolina to a cabin in the mountains for several days. I am gonna be spending some time sitting on that porch enjoying the view. Since the goal is to RELAX I wanted to be sure I...

    Dedicating A Pipe

    This was my first Ser Jacopo. I’ve had it for about 17 years. I only smoke Christmas Cheer or 40th anniversary in it. This pipe has a deep narrow chamber that I always thought was ideal for VA flakes. This morning I’m having a bowl of 40th in it and man is that blend SWEET. I think 40th is a...

    I Had The Day Wrong

    I spent about 5 minutes today (Wednesday) hitting refresh at 3:00 on SP.com wondering why they hadn’t posted today’s update. Then I finally realized it wasn’t THURSDAY!! 🤪 Anyone else ever do that? Just me??

    Fireproof Chocolate Flake

    I was getting a few tins of Cringle Flake last week and decided to add a tin of Chocolate Flake to the order. I’d never tried it but somebody in the Briary was smoking it one day when I was in there and it smelled great. I’m an experienced piper and I’m not sure I’ve ever had a harder time...

    Did You Smoke on I.P.S.D.?

    I had been thinking all week how I need to remember to smoke on IPSD just bc that’s fun. Then today rolled around and I didn’t remember that it was IPSD until 2:00 pm. But I did smoke a bowl of Sun Bear this morning as I often do on Sundays so I guess I did it anyways.

    Loose Band on Pipe

    The silver band on this pipe has gotten loose. I can rotate it. I can even remove it if I remove the stem. Should I do something to snug it up? Glue it? Leave it alone? I thought about rubbing a little wax where it sits and putting it back in place. It’s not really a problem as is, but my other...

    Hello from Arkansas

    Hello. I’m a long time lurker. I enjoy this forum very much. I’m on here reading several times every day. I’ve been doing that for a couple years and decided I should try joining in the conversation now and then. I’ve been piping for 18 years. I favor Italian pipes but enjoy looking at most...
