A New Shape... The Bent Canadian
Introducing a new take on a old classic! This Canadian is bent. Sitting on a level surface, the end of the shank is a good half-inch off level. So, is it made that way, or pipe abuse? Are pipes susceptible to Peyronie's Disease? The pipe is called a 'Manitoban': That's the only... -
Your Prayers Are Appreciated
Friends: Ol' Cynyr has been having a tough time at home for about a year... and stress at work has reached a crescendo over the past six weeks. Without going into a lot of detail, I am feeling very inadequate to the tasks laid on me. I have repeatedly been blessed by the kindness shown by the...- cynyr

DUI Blues
Let this be a warning to all of you. One DUI can ruin your life. A young man in my office was arrested this morning for DUI and Leaving The Scene. I should say, he was in my office, for he will be fired at 8:00 Monday. He's a good kid with lots of ability, and he could have retired from this...- cynyr

Allow Me To Retort
After one gunked-up estate pipe too many, I've finally decided to get/build a retort. Is anyone still making them? I'd rather pay one of you than some anonymous internet retailer.- cynyr

Dr Grabow 9711
This is a pot Grabow that I picked up in a bag of pipes last year. It was one of my first restorations, and needs to be restored again soon. He's one of my favorite pipes. I mentioned this pipe and the shape number in another post a couple weeks ago, and EJames said he'd like to see the... -
Gaylord's pipe
I'm sorry I don't have pics yet, but hopefully will get some up later today. It's still dark here, and I'm not a good enough photographer to get them under artificial light. I just bought a lot of pipes at a ridiculously embarrassingly low price, and found a few gems among the rubble. I have... -

I Was Afraid of This
Brigadier Black Bull Run is no longer available from P&C. Two of my other favorites are on backorder. I'm not whining or bitching; tobacco blends go out of production all the time. I'll still order from P&C, but I'll miss Bull Run after I smoke the pound that I have on hand. I expect the...- cynyr

Got My Nording Today
Friends, I am proud to present my new Erik Nording Freehand Aristokrat: These are the seller's photos, but I can't do any better. I have it in my hand, it appears to be very lightly smoked or even unsmoked altogether. I'm a happy dude today!- cynyr

Pipes & Guns
A few items from my collection. Lee Van Cleef with a Ruger Single Action Lord Clerit bulldog, no-name author, and a Tsuge with my duty Glock Brewsters with a de-activated Sten. Everybody loves pictures! -
Brigadier Black Review
I have purchased and sampled all the Brigadier Black blends from Pipes&Cigars.com, and would like to share what I found. Pipe Novelist also had a great review, here. First up, Alamo. Mild, sweet smoke, notes of chocolate and caramel. Smells great, tastes great. Alamo will require a few...- cynyr

Tsuge Sale at smokingpipes
smokingpipes.com is an advertiser here, and I have no connection to them. I'm just trying to steer friends to a great deal. If you were admiring the Tsuge bent bulldog I posted about last week, (and kicking yourself at missing out on one for an amazing fifty clams!) here's your chance. There...- cynyr

Red Letter Day - Celebrate with me!
Today, 1 October 2012, was a big, big day. First, the deliveries: A brand-new Tsuge pipe at a great price from smokingpipes.com, along with some Irish Creme and 1Q. Plus a Nimrod lighter from ebay. I've wanted a Nimrod since I was a wee small nipper. There's even a scowling, bearded face...- cynyr

PFC Dad
This is my Dad, hard at work at Fort Jackson, 1954: Which is a detail of this picture: I don't know who the other pipe-smoking Joe is, can't tell if he is an officer or a buck private. It may be Major Huskey, who was Dad's CO at the time, and gave him a couple of pipes.- cynyr

Moustache Note
Got this email from John Sutherland at Smoking Pipes yesterday, and in case some of you may not subscribe, here is the salient point of the Newsletter: I agree! I am an inveterate 'stache sniffer. Please add 'mustache-note' to all future reviews. Us hairy-faced dudes will thank you. (NOTE...- cynyr

My Review of Molto Dolce
My first review. Please be kind! My rusty High School Latin tells me that 'Molto Dolce' means 'very sweet' or 'exceptionally calm' - and this is an apt description of this fine tobacco. I received a 1.5 oz tin of Sutliff Private Stock Molto Dolce from Altadis as part of their free sample...- cynyr

Cleaning up an eBay pipe (w/pics)
A couple months back, I scored a Brewster off eBay for five bucks. Research on this forum and the wild, untamed internet tells me the Brewster pipes were all made in one batch in 1964 as a promotional item for Sir Walter Raleigh. Since that's the year I was born, this pipe and I get along very... -
New MM is superior smoke!
Made the trip to my Local yesterday (Smoky's in Montvue Center) and picked a new Missouri Meerschaum: So, I gave it a smoke yesterday with some 'gift' tobacco to burn out the stem, then yanked the filter. Filled it up this morning with some tasty Wife's Blend and smoked it after lunch today...
