Made the plunge - My first Commission
Truth be told. I wasn’t planning on doing a commission but a poster put his new commission up from this carver and I investigated. Granted I was tipsy at the time, but going through the prior work I found I really liked his pipes. Reached out and I ended up doing a two pipe set. A blasted... -
Commission Question
So it finally happened. I found a carver whose work I liked. Sent a note. Got the discussion going. Boom 2 weeks later a 2 pipe set is done and they look fantastic. Looking forward to getting them in the mail after the money was sent. Then I started thinking . . .oh man. Am I supposed to tip? I... -
GH Rum Flake
So I was going through some tins to open up and found a tin of GH Rum Flake. I’m not sure if this was talked about in past but I thought I remember it being discussed that the packaging wasn’t the best. It was cellophane sealed and sitting with rest of my stash in a climate controlled area. When...- Sidehatch

The Saga of The Radice is Complete
It is a splendid day indeed. I have my Radice back thanks to Marzio Radice. For those that don’t know, it happened a year ago almost to the week. I put this pipe in my pocket. Got smashed that night. When I came too I had the pipe but no stem the next morning. Waited a little bit to see if it... -
International mail
Some of you may remember a thread a long time ago of me asking what to do with my Radice pipe. Long story short I lost the stem. From speaking with the wonderful members of the forum, I reached out to the Radice family. They said the original stem was ebonite and when they had some they would...- Sidehatch

Asteroid City -The movie
I saw Wes Anderson’s newest movie Asteroid City this weekend. I like his films and this one was very much in his style. Not everyones cup of tea I’m sure.

Questions on Meerschaum
So I found in my old man’s pipes this unsmoked meer. From Turkey I guess from label on stem and obtained at some point in 1980s. No clue if it’s unsmoked cause he didnt like meers, or thought it was too pretty to smoke. No clue. He’s been gone for 20 plus years and I can’t get an answer. I see... -
Storage Question
This may have been beaten like a drum with answers before with regards to tins, but I’m not sure I’ve seen any info with regards to plastic bags mailed from vendors. As I understand it, a cracked tin of tobacco shouldn’t dry out and be very serviceable and smokable for several months. well, my...- Sidehatch

Salutations from Southern Colorado
Been lurking for a few months and decided time to join the fun. First, I wanted to say how informative the forum is and a great cast of contributors. I got my first pipe in 2003, a Nording, as a gift from a smoking friend. Used it sparingly and moved into cigars. Found the same pipe back in...- Sidehatch
