    Wally Frank White Bar

    When I laid aside the nails and started smoking a pipe again - almost 11 years ago - I was budget conscious and picked up a number of Wally Frank pipes. Some were good, some were bad. Two of the better smokers were labeled White Bar. I read somewhere or was told that most White Bars were...

    Feedback Appreciated on Esoterica pricing

    Folks: I've got 150 grams/5.29 oz of Dec/2012 jarred Penzance available with a couple of bowls of similarly jarred and aged StoneHaven tossed in as a kicker. Given all the market pressures, is a c-note request unreasonable? Would I pay it? Absolutely not. Esoterica smokes do nothing for me...

    Pipe Cleaners

    Do any of the bulk manufacturers have a decent sub for the traditional Dill's pipe cleaner? I pay 2.60 and change at the local smoke/weed shops and pharmacies for a package of 32 swabs. They're the best for twin bore pipes, and many other small bored stems, but if there's a cheaper alternative...

    GBD Tobaco Pouch Refurb needed

    My 4th or maybe 5th purchase as a new pipe smoker, circa 1975, was a GBD leather tri-fold tobacco pouch. Forty plus years later the surgical rubber lining has finally rotted away leaving behind a well handled and much loved leather shell. Is there anybody out there willing to replace the rubber...

    Frogman

    Get well soon. Three weeks without a smoke are too damned long. Your observations and arcane sugar cane harvesting comments with pix are missed around here. Fnord

    Free Scandinavian coupons

    I just got a couple of $3.00 off coupons from the Scandinavian Tobacco Group: i.e. Capt. Black, Borkum Riff, SWR and H&H. They're not favorite smokes of mine so they're free to the first person who PMs me. (There's info on the coupons to obtain additional coupons.) I'm not shilling for STG...

    DH Nightcap Smokers

    Folks: Anybody bought Nightcap recently? Two of my last three purchases have either been cased or something has been added. All have been bulk buys. The first half pound came from Hiland Cigar and the taste was off. They never responded to my questions so I crossed them off my future "buy"...

    Joining Iowa Hawkeye Nation

    Fabulous knockdown drag out game tonight between Iowa and Penn State. As much as I loved the game, this evening I became a fan of every pig farming, corn raiser in their Iowa City stadium. The fans started something recently that's about as good as anything gets. There's a new 12 story...

    Perique Advice Appreciated

    Folks: I'd like to pick up a half oz. or two of blending Perique. Any good experiences to share with our approved vendors? I don't want to sound like a company shill, but my old man taught my brothers and me to stay at the dance with the one you brought. We've got killer sponsors so somebody...

    Ozark - Netflix - No Spoilers

    Anybody watching? I've enjoyed Jason Bateman's comedic talents for years but I had no idea the guy had dramatic chops. The guy's good. Really good. Bateman plays a successful Chicago financial advisor working for a firm whose biggest customer is a south of the border drug cartel. Long story...

    Brendan Gleeson - Mr. Mercedes - No Spoilers

    You might remember that I'm a Gleeson fanboy: http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/irish-actor-brendan-gleeson-no-spoilers Is anybody watching Gleeson's latest television venture, "Mr. Mercedes" on the Audience network? (The title and story line comes from a Stephen King novel I haven't read.)...

    Hiland's Cigars

    Folks: I'd normally shy away from asking about a company not a site sponsor, but all of my favorite and blessed vendors are back-ordered on DH Nightcap. Hiland's Cigars has NC in stock. Anybody have dealings with them? Good, bad or indifferent? I appreciate the input. Fnord

    "Winter's Bone" - Anybody seen it? No spoilers

    Before she became Katniss and Raven/Mystique Jennifer Lawrence made this quiet, little film in SW Missouri. She was given a Best Actress Oscar nod in 2010 for this role but I always avoided watching the movie because it's just like seeing an O’Neill play. All you want to do afterward is cut...

    GBD fans

    Does anybody have a pix of that hysterical GBD history flow chart? Do you remember the one I'm asking about? Made in England. Made in France. Back to England. Ownership change here. Ownership change there. Anybody? Al, I'm counting on you. Fnord

    Jack H. Weinberger Pipe

    I made a new friend last week. Marty Pulver just might be one of the nicest guys I've ever met in this business and this pipe world of ours is full of fascinating and truly kind people. I was noodling through his website and saw this odd duck freehand which put a hook through my liver. It's...

    Marine and Navy vets...

    Mods, I wasn't sure where to place this post so I hope General Discussion is okay. Folks: I need some help. One of my twin sons is a USMC Artillery 2nd john with 2/10 stationed at Camp Lejeune. His XO, my son's mentor, recently took up the pipe and is limping along with a couple of cobs and a...

    Sig Sauer P226

    I'm on the fence here. One of my coworkers has a Sig Sauer P226 for sale. Less than 1K rounds pushed through it and he's chucking in a holster, three high capacity mags and 300 rds. of dirty Russian 9mm. The asking price is $550.00. I'm really intrigued by the Sig Sauer reputation but I've...

    Anybody watch Ep. 1 of "Taboo" on FX? (No spoilers)

    When the ads came out several months ago that is was a Ridley Scott production I thought, "Okay, I'm interested." When Tom Hardy was announced as taking the lead, I said, "All in." Watched the first episode last night and couldn't have been more pleased. It's a period piece - set in London's...
