Three new to me old Petersons
I've been away for awhile and been busy with other things. I've not been completely inactive though. Recent aqusitions include a 1922 half sized bulldog that I picked up at the Raliegh show and a cased set from Gary Malmberg's Second Hand Smokes. First the mini bulldog. This thing is about half... -
Peterson dip staining
As some here may know, I have Skype and have subscribed to their European and British Isles service. A few days ago I spoke with the head of Peterson Pipes, Mr., Tom Palmer about dip staining the System pipes. He told me it had to do with the flow of the work and that they weren't dipped but... -

Need glasses?
I have no affiliation with these people except as a well satisfied customer. Over the years, I've bought 7 or 8 pair of glasses from these people and every prescription has been bang on with the only adjustments being for the temple and nose pads. They are in Hong Kong and it takes about 3 to 4...- chuckw

Bad Day at Black Rock
It wasn't Black Rock and it was more like a week. I bought Herself a TomTom navigation device from Amazon and they sent me an old model that had been programmed and didn't work. I sent it back and they sent me another one that wouldn't hold the programming. I have one enroute from TomTom...- chuckw

A new Peterson
Friday morning Herself stepped into my man cave and handed me an printout. It was an order form from Smokingpipes.com for a rustic Peterson Darwin. To say I was suprised is an understatement! I had been told this was a large pipe but wasn't prepared for what arrived this afternoon. I can... -
Antique pipe set.
Ever since I saw a Kafir (horn) Peterson in the 1910 catalogue, I've wanted one. Not because I like horn shapes but because it was the only one I've ever seen by Peterson. Well, they have reproduced it in the new Antique series. It comes in a two pipe set with a slightly unusual bent. They... -
A suprise package
A suprise came in the mail yesterday form Mel Feldman, The Smoker. As most know, Mel is getting out of the business and retiring, so when a small box arrived, I didn't know what to think. I hadn't ordered anything. Upon opening the box, I discovered an unsmoked Willmer Bel Aire and a note that... -

Gawith tobaccos
For those of us lamenting the disappearance of SG tobaccos this last week, I have good news and I have bad news. I just spoke with Bob Gregory of SG and he told me he has 500 cases of tinned tobacco leaving the factory for the USA today. That's the good news. The bad news is it is a three week...- chuckw

Altadis 1M
The first person to email me at kd6hkx@embarqmail.com with their real name and mailing address will get a 1.5 oz package of Altadis 1M tobacco. All I can tell you about it is it has a chocolate nose to me. It was a freebee from someone at the Richmond show last weekend.- chuckw

Richmond show for me.
This year turned out to be not much more than a tobacco run for me. While there were some old Pete's there, the people that had them knew what they had. I didn't see a bargin one. I did pick up 4 pipes though. The first is a Willmer Lightweight. This is a small pipe, about a grp 1. It should be...- chuckw

Dunhill Flake
A friend of mine in England sent me a 50 gram tin of 9 year old Dunhill Flake the other day. This is what straight tobacco is supposed to taste like. No casing, no topping, no nothing, just pure tobacco. The problem? It isn't made anymore. So, do any of you know of a tobacco that replicates it...- chuckw

Four old pipes
While digging around through some drawers over at my local storage facility yesterday. I found these three pipes I haden't seen and had completely forgotten about. The first is an Aldo Valani Verona paneled dublin which goes to prove a $40 pipe can be a good smoker. The next is a Celius Knight... -
New Peterson blog
For those of you that may have an interest in Peterson pipes, there is a new blog about them. Jim (The Sandpiper) has expanded on Mike Levetette's orginal work and has done an admiral job of it in my opinion. He has included a break down of the various grades and included a general pricing guide...- chuckw

New Mark Twain set
I have three smooth Mark Twain,s so I thought it would be nice to obtain a sandblasted set. These came in this morning and a little Blue Magic on the silver and a quick, protective coat of carnuba on the stems and they are ready to smoke. The Mark Twain pipe is just like any other MT you've...
