    Considering Price--Comoy.

    I like British pipes of just about any ilk, but considering price versus overall design, draw, and carvers who take pride in their work, Comoy has always lived up to my expectations. Most of their pipes are "traditional" shapes, nothing fancy or "artistic", but that is OK with me. I am...

    B&M Tobacconist Websites

    Could I get some Local tobacco vendors' web addresses from those of you who have a favorite that sells on-line? I once had a bunch of them that would do custom blending, but it appears that over time I have misplaced them. Thanks for any help you might give me.

    Shapes/Categories

    I'm confused. In this day of new shapes and categories of pipe (Egg, Volcano, Horn, etc) I find it hard to keep up. One question I have is when does a Dublin become a Calabash and vice versa. Is there a "rule of thumb" or some standard? What is a "double" calabash. I have always thought of...

    Apology

    After thinking about it, I feel that I owe the membership an apology for lambasting the "new" format and change in general. It is OK that we may disagree about any number of things, but that disagreement does not mean that our/your opponents in any discussion are stupid or , as one...

    Pipe Storage

    I need some help. Some time ago I purchased a case from a couple fellows that made them to order. They are actually pipe and tobacco cabinets. I have lost the web site address for these two guys. Anybody know who or what I am talking about?Thanks for the help.

    VaPer???

    Well, once again, I've been made to feel an idiot. I have been smoking a pipe for over 50 years and new terms (new to me anyway) keep croping up. What the hell is a "VaPer" and why do I care? Ats one of them big ole bats et hang upside down and suck your blood aint it? Maybe you've noticed...

    Great Pipe Racks

    Maybe I'm the last to know, but I ran across some of the neatest hand-made pipe racks I have ever seen. I'm trying hard to deny myself one. If interested go to www.twocousinspiperacks.com.

    Meerschaum Rememberance

    It seems that meerschaum pipes are making a comeback. I remember when I first began smoking a pipe in 1959 thst Meerschaums were very expensive. They were generally rare amoung my friends. Back then most meers had amber stems and were usually the guy in the turban in a bent form. You almost...

    Thompson Meerschaum

    Just purchased an estate pipe off Ebay. It is listed as a "Thompson Block Meershaum" from England. It has an unusual shape and is pre-smoked like the Van Cleef. Anybody ever hear of Thompson? I haven't. However it only cost me $25 including shipping.

    "Irish Pub"

    For a couple years I smoked a bulk tobacco called "Irish Pub". It was sold by a tobaconist franchise called "Tobacco Isle". The store has since gone out of business and I was wondering if you folks might have hard of, or know where you can get "Irish Pub" tobacco. It was cut in a cigarette...

    Then and Now

    At the risk of indulging in what some of you will probably deem an old fart's diatribe, I would like to say that Bob Dylan (who?) got it right when he said, "the times they are a changing." When I first began smoking a pipe (1957) the pipe smoker's world was vastly different than the one we...

    "High End"?

    Perhaps one or two of you would be so kind as to explain to me what the term "high end" means when used by folks on this forum. I've seen the term being thrown around quite often and have yet to completely understand the meaning. Since I have been told in another post that there is no...

    Seriously!

    As I look at the discussions/articles on our site, I wonder if we are not becoming more and more guilty of arrogance and taking our hobby (never have liked calling my pipe-smoking a hobby)too seriosly. I am now an old man and, of course, adverse to change, but I have been smoking a pipe for...

    Texas Tax

    I just ordered a can of tobacco from a place in San Marcos, TX that cost $32 and they charged me over $16 in Texas tobacco tax. Jeeze Louisez!

    Trying New Stuff

    I have decided, in my dotage, to try some new (to me anyway) tobacco. I need some recommendations. I like a "natural" flavor. I can't stand latakia in any form. I want something with cavendish, burly, perique, etc preferably in a "rough cut", but will try other cuts if needed. I have ordered...

    The Pipe

    I am looking for information about a pipe made by VENTURI called "The Pipe". They were made during the late 60"s and early 70"s from a graphite material used in the nose-cones of missiles. "The Pipe" came in the standard shapes of billiard, pot, bulldog, and half-bent and colors of black...
