    Another Flea Market Find.

    Well thank you all for your kind comments and most of all to snagstangl for the definitive 'skinny' on this apparent gem I now have. Very gratifying to know its origin story and even its use instructions. I knew I could count on you all.

    Another Flea Market Find.

    Found this pipe in an indoor flea market in Quakertown, PA. It is a hand-colored ceramic pipe. The stummel has hand-inscribed a maker(?) and a date (?) of 'Ishod, 1976.' Google searches turn up a few other pipes similar to mine but no info on its history or maker? Anybody got any skinny on this?

    Need a Rack

    Very nice work. Very nice work. If you were selling these I would need 3 of them but I feel like the substantial backs would just be too much wood on the wall. I may have to resort to something like you've done on my Decatur rack. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Need a Rack

    You have given me a wealth of information sir. Sun will not be an issue as my rack will be on a north-facing wall. I ended up getting a 24-pipe rack by Decatur from Etsy. I understand the lower rack will probably be limited to straight pipes. At least half of mine are straight. The other half...

    I found a 24-pipe Decatur rack for decent money there. Thanks for the hint.

    Need a Rack

    I saw this Akousticplyr but it's a tad small for me. I found a nice Decatur on Etsy that holds 24 pipes. This should work. Thanks for the feedback tho.

    Need a Rack

    Looking for a reasonably-priced rack that'll hold 15 pipes or so. Wall-mounted is preferable but counter-top will do. Anybody have one they can part with or have a source I can check out? I've seen a couple out there but they were Chinese and I don't trust them to hold up or last for any great...

    North Carolina is the biggest tobacco growing state in the country. Ever try any local leaf? And howdy back!

    I was a stock boy in my cousin's drugstore. I would take some of my lunch time to visit a pipe store across the street and was struk by the beauty of some of them. I pumped the 2 guys who ran the place for everything about the pipes, how to smoke them, the tobaccos and fell in love with the...

    Thanks for the update. So what happened at 18 to bring you to pick up a pipe? Somebody in your family already a smoker?

    A pipe smoker from Texas? Shouldn't you be rolling your own with one hand while your horse?

    Thanks Dunnyboy. Is there some Irish or Scottish in your background? Is NYC still tolerant of pipesmoking, indoors or out? I have taken many a day trip to NYC for museum tours, photography jaunts, restaurants (Bourdain's Les Halles a strong favorite, and Chinatown), etc. Even though my little...

    I have a few Oz. Like the time I was a student at the Univ. of Rhode Island in my home state and heard about a pipe shop in another town some 25 miles way that was going out of business. I hitchhiked there and bought 3 pipes on clearance. One nice one was a bent apple in a blond glossy finish. I...
