    Prince Amled Pipes

    Anybody know who made these? I got this one from Blue Room Briars. Nice little pipe. Steve Laug at Reborn Pipes guessed these were made by Kriswill, which was my first guess as well, but there isn't any actual info available on who made them, or what era they're from. Does anybody know?

    Tobacco is Sacred

    This isn't discussed much on here, to my knowledge, but tobacco is one of the 4 sacred herbs of indigenous cultures from my neck of the woods; and far afield. I recently posted about how I came to pipes, partially via my investigations regarding indigenous spirituality. I was raised with some...

    Storage Boxes

    What would be the ideal compartmentalized box for storing your pipes in? I'm not planning on building another pipe rack anytime soon. I think I'd rather store the overflow in boxes. Any suggestions (with links) would be appreciated!

    How To Get a Thread Locked

    Short of venturing into the realm of politics, which is explicitly verboten around here (and a good thing that!), sometimes a thread seems to be buzzing along, replete with various dissertations on subjects related to—at least tangentially—the enjoyment of this pastime, and of this here forum...

    In Defence of WAYS

    For those who don't know it, don't read it, don't post on it, are new members here, or have been living under a rock, the "What Are You Smoking" ("WAYS") thread is a recurrent, monthly discussion of what people are smoking, daily, hourly, up-to-the-minute. It is a sprawling testament of joy...

    How often...

    ...do you think about Rome, Roman history, or the Roman Empire. A: Never B: Once in a while C: Constantly D: Only at Easter time E: None of the above F: I don't understand the question G: That's a stupid question, I thought this was a forum about pipe smoking

    Night Owls

    I see a few of us consistently posting during the wee hours. I've always been a night owl. It's probably the quality my wife hates most about me. (If not my PAD and TAD :ROFLMAO:.) I used to think it was because I'm a composer. I used to write music through the night until the sun started...

    Jim's Special Flake

    @JimInks I don't see a review of this Ken Byron blend at TR. Is it any good? Or are you trying to keep it a secret? 😁 (If so: Mods: please remove this post.)

    PSA: Check Your Tins Folks!

    It's been said before, but since I just went through all my tins and found 2 failed seals (one "square" tin—1792 Flake, and one round—Dunhill Durbar) it bears repeating. Seals fail and tobacco dries out and turns to zombie dust. DON'T LET IT HAPPEN TO YOU! CHECK YOUR TINS. I've personally had...

    Stain Coming Off On My Hands

    Title says it all. I've had this Musico for a couple of years. I love this pipe and basically ignored the issue at first, but my wife started catching me red-handed every time I smoke it. 😜 The red stain has migrated to the bamboo as well, which is the only thing that irks me a little. Not sure...

    Fiebing's On A Cob?

    I went ahead and did it anyway (I'll post a picture later in WAYS), but I'm just wondering if anyone has any reason why it might NOT be a good idea using leather dye on a cob. Anyone else do this? This stuff is non-toxic and safe right? I don't have any Halcyon or Paragon wax, so I just sealed...

    Nadir Of Dunhills?

    I'm not-hell bent on acquiring an estate Dunhill. I've never owned one, but I could see myself purchasing an old shell briar from the early 50s or a pre-war specimen, from back when they used that great craggy Algerian briar. In terms of purchasing a birth-year pipe one day though...I was born...

    CDs

    Does anybody else have a collection of 1000 pounds of plastic that's been made mostly obsolete by modern streaming services? A recent post in the WAYS thread by @AppalachianPiper92 had a picture of a pipe sitting on top of a CD copy of Miles Smiles. It reminded me of the problem my collection...

    My Home Blended Pressed Cake Adventure

    I’ve been going through my jars and tins as I move some things over to Mylar. I popped a 3 year-old jar of C&D Bright Virginia Ribbon. Very tasty at this point. I didn’t smoke any of it when it was fresh at all. 4 ounces in 2 jars. I’ll never smoke it all up on its own I figure. I’ve got all...

    Old Boy in the Wind

    I'm thinking about getting something other than a Bic lighter, but I smoke outside a lot. Bics don't work very well when they get cold — then — a little bit of wind and forget about it. That describes my winter smoking experience on some days. (Hemp wick is helpful because it holds a flame...

    Your Pipe Acquisition of the Year

    Show us your top acquisition of 2022. What pipe, or pipes, just did it for you this year, satiating your PAD, even for a minute? For me, it was this Musicò pot that just smoked like a dream right out of the box. It's my #1 smoker, bar none.

    Nuclear Fusion

    This is such huge news, it's hard to believe it's actually true. Assuming it is true, and it's scalable, I believe humans will make it to Mars and beyond. Will it bring down the cost of energy over the coming decades? Will it change the global economy? I mean, converting Hydrogen into Helium and...

    PSA for all Pipers

    A "piper" is a person who plays the bagpipes. If you smoke a pipe, you are a "pipe smoker", not a "piper". When you smoke your pipe, you are not "piping", you are "smoking a pipe", "pipe smoking", or "lunting", which is a useful English word that means smoking whilst walking — and/or — walking...

    School me on Mylar

    I'm thinking it's time to get rid of some of these bulky jars that are taking up so much valuable shelf space. What kind of Mylar is recommended for long term storage? How about vacuum sealing? Where do you get good deals on Mylar? What size bags do you use? Do they need to be heat sealed? How...
