    Pipe Rotation

    I do have more than enough for a rotation...but I really only ever smoke the same 3 or 4 on a regular basis. I smoke my cavalier several times a day, every day. Perhaps smoking it and taking it apart hot several times a day could cause a crack.

    Show Off Your Innovations

    After an absence caused by an assignment, and then the need for an appendectomy, I have a few more interesting pipes to share This one is the Doodler. Probably one many of you have seen. It's one of the more gimmicky pipes, but it smokes very well, and it reminds me of a wooden version of...

    Show Off Your Innovations

    As suggested by OzPiper, here are two of my favourite "innovative" system pipes. The first is the Jima, a plastic and metal body, with a clay bowl The system is a hollow tube, basically: Within that tube is an "electrostatic" filter, basically just a tight coil of wire. It is impossible...

    Review of Smoking Pipes Reviews

    I seldom read reviews, but I have seen certain tobaccos with reviews that have nothing to do with the actual tobacco ~ well I didn't get this newly released tobacco yet, but it's great! ? But, Smoking Pipes usually has all my tobacco needs, so I almost always buy from them.

    Lifes Been a Little Rough This Last Year.

    My condolences. I know from experience it's not easy. The pain won't go away...but it will get better, I promise! And the pipe is a real beauty! Enjoy it!

    Irish Clay Estate Pipe

    This paper mentions the Ulster Pipe Works as still being in operation in 1907. However, it doesn't say if they continued to operate after that date. It's definitely a great little pipe! Higgins and White 1997 - Belfast Pipemakers -...

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2022?***

    In a few moments, I will, for the first time, try a bowl of Three Star Blue in an unfinished Molina.

    Has Forums Gone Budget On Pipes?

    Granted, I don't read every post. Maybe I avoid the show your pipes posts for the reason you mentioned...the unnecessarily envious digs that are sometimes given. At any rate, I love pipes! Low or high, I like to see someone enjoying what they have.

    Has Forums Gone Budget On Pipes?

    I love pipes of all shapes, sizes, and prices! I wouldn't personally buy a pipe that cost over a certain amount, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy seeing them! But it seems to me I see less low-end pipes here than high-end. In fact, I don't usually take photos of the pipes I get, simply...

    Filter Fanatic or Filter Carper

    I don't generally use filters. I use a Tsuge Kulu Cool, and the Brigham distillators(I do think these restrict the draw...but I bought 4 boxes of them, so I'm going to use them!), and the Jima electrostatic filters, none of which are filters in the traditional sense ~ but they serve a similar...

    Wood Match Annoyance

    I think there is a difference between matches just in general. I use the strike anywhere matches. After my Mom died, I found a big box of them in her pantry. They were much more substantial. I don't know if burleybreath uses these or the strike on box kind, but the new strike anywhere...

    Wood Match Annoyance

    Matches today aren't what they used to be. I also prefer a match, but the cheap quality of matches made today has diminished my enthusiasm somewhat.

    Huck Finn and His Corn Silk in a Cob

    Some of the older kids in Indiana smoked corn silk. I was too young to care at the time, and then we moved away so I never had the chance to try it. Though it sounds like that is probably for the best.

    What About Pipes Do You

    I've seen that before somewhere...but I'm not that much of an oddball! :ROFLMAO:

    What About Pipes Do You

    As some people know, I love the oddball pipes. There is something very compelling about the various ways people tried to make pipe smoking "better". And when I find one of these oddball pipes, well taken care of and lovingly smoked, it makes me feel like I'm part of a long line of oddballs. ?

    Group Tasting of Ancient Velvet Pipe Tobacco

    Very generous of you, as I've come to expect! I had a tin of Mixture 79 that my Grandfather must have bought before he died. When I finally inherited his box of pipe stuff, the tin was still there, unopened. And after over 30 years, it was exquisite! This should should be an interesting...

    Hello from Boston MA

    I have been debating about buying a Magic Inch. As some may know, I love the "odd" pipes, and the Carey system seems to be pretty cool. Some of the older examples I've seen on eBay even appear to have very nice quality briar. I wish I could try one first...I wonder if those coupons to get one...
