    Show Me Pipe Rack / Storage Options

    I am at that point. I have a hodgepodge of racks and don’t know where to put my most collectible type pipes. Maybe I will just get a cabinet on Wayfair

    "Shag Pipes"

    Yes they go to a chamber below where the heel is and then out the shank. They actually don't smoke badly at all. I don't know how long these little buggers will last but for now they are pretty novel. The seller has many other regular pipes of good quality on his ebay site along with many...

    "Shag Pipes"

    wow, thanks for the information. Those pipes are on ebay. The seller has many many on there like this. I will send you the link. $20 bucks I think I paid, new, unsmoked, etc. They don't smoke bad actually. The chamber under the pot is kind of interesting.

    "Shag Pipes"

    I may a "dim bulb" or have "removed all doubt of being a fool" but from the side photos, they certainly looked like tobacco pipes to me and said nothing about cigarette tobacco but that seems to be what they are for.

    "Shag Pipes"

    I kind of thought the same thing about the Brits as it was the only usage I could thing of other than 70's carpeting and baseball jargon.

    "Shag Pipes"

    You are right. Just got tricked on ebay on that one. They work for now. It was an interesting learning experience

    "Shag Pipes"

    Yes this makes sense, they are very small. They look like normal pipes when you see the photo on ebay, you purchase them and these two little pipes come. Oh well, I was not out much money and they are bizarre little novelties. I will put pipe tobacco in them until they do not work anymore and...

    How to Unscrew a Mouthpiece

    I have to say as a caveat that I have come to hate the five Brigham pipes I bought because I have broken off two tenons no matter what way I screw in or out. They are too tight and with that rock maple filter ridiculous thing the stem offten cant be pushed flush to the shank. Then on top of it...

    "Shag Pipes"

    I just bought two little pipes off of ebay--cheap, like 20 bucks new. The seller said they were "shag" pipes. First off, I do not know what that means. Second, they are interesting because the bowl is like nothing I have ever seen. The shank comes in underneath the bowl and the bowl has two very...

    Kiribi Lighter Requires Several Strikes Before Lighting?

    Thanks for that. I am having the same problem with my Kiribi and cleaning, bleeding, new Kiribi flint etc. It is still acting up. I will take a bristle to it with some everclear

    Hello from Connecticut

    Well I started with Dr Grabow as a kid so used filters. I still have that pipe bought in 1979 for probably $20! That being said I stopped using filters for a number of years but recently have gone back. I am really sold on the Vauens.
