    New Pipe Stand

    I got my 12 year old son a 3d printer for Christmas this year. He is big into stuff like that so i figured why not? He came to me today with a pipe stand he made for me. I was thrilled to see what he printed for me. Now my favorite pipe has its own stand and will sit on the fireplace mantle.

    Bought A New/Old Pipe

    I was just browsing through Ebay last night, no intention of buying. That was until this Savinelli Linea 76 caught my eye. Price point on it was reasonable so i pulled the trigger. It'll look real good sitting next to my Non Pareil Dublin and even better when im smoking it.

    When to Throw a Pipe Out

    I bought an Ebay special a while back. Its a Savinelli dry system pipe. Looked very nice from the pics, i glanced over the description and didnt catch a few key items. The pipe had started to burn out and was over boared to correct. In doing so the pipe has very thin walls now. Ive only smoked...

    Edward Maison Black Truffle

    So the B&M store in Ann Arbor Michigan, Edward Maison, has a blend called Black Truffle. It is a very nice aromatic blend. If i had to guess it is a mix of black cavendish, latakia with a vanilla top note. Tonight i tried to match it with what I had on hand. I think I have a close match using...

    Looking At Another Pipe

    Its been a few months since ive bought a new or new to me pipe. Been looking at Falcon pipes. They seem cheap enough from estate sales and the ability to change bowls intrigues me. Not sure if i will actually buy one or not. From what Ive read about them they seem like a nice little pipe...

    Looking For Pipe Shops in Michigan

    Hey this ones for all you Michiganders and even those who arnt that know our state. Ive been trying to find a pipe shop that sells tins but it seems to be a thing of the past.

    Super Value Buttered Rum

    This is the first pipe tobacco I ever tried. I have to admit starting off I hated this tobacco and convinced myself that it was picked up off the floor and shoved into a bag. Fast forward to where I am now in my pipe smoking journey and I have to say its not a bad tobacco. I will say that I have...

    Stepping Outside of Aromatics

    I started off smoking a pipe several months ago. I took it slow at first and started with a Dr. Grabow and a bag of Super Value Rum pipe tobacco. Gotta say that tobacco was horrid and i didnt much care for it. I have found the aromatics that i enjoy smoking but my curious and adventurous mind is...

    Good Score?

    Recently got this GBD 508 on a estate sale. Got it for $18.75. From what i can tell the pipe was only smoked a handful of times and the stem has very little signs of bite marks. It however does appear to have been dropped as it has a few scratches and the rim has a very minor nick. Overall im...
