    Culling the Herd: Anyone Else Feel the Need to do So?

    Well, this past year I kept track of how many times I smoked my meerschaum pipes, and with as many has I have it makes it hard to dedicate any real time to any one pipe. The most I smoked any one meerschaum pipe was 27 bowls. It's going to take me forever to color these things. LOL Currently...

    Newest Addition - Lee Van Cleef Pipe

    Picked this one up from Meerschaum Market. It features the typical calcinated rim, but none on the bowl. It's coated in yellow beeswax instead of white, so it's not the typical bright white like most meers. I'm not one for counting smokes, but I'll try to keep track to see how this progresses...

    March Meerschaum Madness - Let the Madness Begin!

    The time has come for March Meerschaum Madness. As we've reached the eve of this month-long event. For those unaware of this, the idea is for those that have one or two meerschaum pipes in their collection, and rarely smoke them, to pull them off the rack and enjoy them. It's an opportunity...

    SPC Tin Rusted Through

    Well, this is a new experience for me. After sorting through my tobacco cabinet yesterday, I noticed what looked like some rust on the bottom of my SPC Mississippi River tin, (purchased in March 2017). So as a precaution I popped the tin to jar up the tobacco. From what I can see the tobacco is...

    Two New Meerschaum Pipes for the Collection

    Acquired two new to me Meerschaum pipes (Altinay straight billiard, and SMS bent bulldog). Both have barely been smoked and look almost new. Picked up both for a great low price. I'm very pleased with my acquisition, and the best part is that it's helping out a friend who is selling off many of...

    More Meerschaum P.A.D.

    Here are my two newest acquisitions to my meerschaum pipe collection. This brings my collection to 17 meerschaum pipes. Got a steal of a deal on the calabash which was smoked only a handful of times and was super clean other than some oxidation on the stem. The Hawkbill was a great deal and was...

    Cleaning A Gourd Calabash Pipe - Questions???

    Just bought an estate gourd calabash and need some suggestions on how to clean the gourd. I'm still waiting for it to arrive in the mail, so I'm not sure how dirty the gourd chamber is, but from the pictures the meerschaum bowl needs some cleaning so I'm guessing the gourd will as well. As far...

    Anyone Use Tobacco Cellar .com

    I didn't see a previous thread about this, so apologies if there was a previous one. So several years ago I created an account on TobaccoCellar.com to help keep track of tins in my tobacco cellar, and mason jars I had open and smoking from. At the time I had a small cellar, and minimal open...

    New Savinelli's Added to the Pipe Collection

    So I've been looking at acquiring some new pipes, and after a few weeks of looking and having my eye caught by a few Ser Jacopo's, Caminetto's, a Castello, a couple Savinelli pipes, and a few others; I decided on the Savinelli Onda 616 KS, and was fortunate to come across a gorgeous Savinelli...

    Pipe Sales

    Any one know if there are any good sales coming up? I've got my eye on a few pipes (Ser Jacopo, Caminetto, Castello) at SmokingPipes, and I'd love to pull the trigger on two if I could hit a good sale. I missed out on SmokingPipes estate pipe sale recently, and a couple really nice pipes I would...

    Question About Ser Jacopo Pipe

    I came across a Ser Jacopo Gemma Modica 02 bent Apple but there is no stamping/nomenclature on the pipe. Is this normal? I've not seen a Ser Jacopo pipe without some markings. Price seems too good to be real deal. Any thoughts?

    If You Could Save One Tobacco from the FDA Deeming Regulations

    Ok guys... what one tobacco would you save from the FDA Deeming Regulations if you had the chance to save one? That means any tobacco's created/blended after February 2007. Well... what are going to save?

    Just showing off my newest Meerschaum pipe. This pipe was carved by Tekin Uzkesici, and beautifully done with excellent detail. This is my 6th Meerschaum acquisition over the last several months. I'm definitely hooked on Meerschaum pipes.

    Wow... Deal of the Day!!!

    Wow... there are some real scam artists out there. I don't think this seller understands what the word "vintage" means as this is clearly a more recent pipe. Some people... :crazy...

    Meerschaum P.A.D. - My Newest Acquisitions (PIC Heavy)

    Here are my 3 recent acquisitions to the pipe collection. I got these 3 pipes for a steal of a deal, and am very pleased with my purchases. Sadik Yanik Meerschaum Pipe: CAO Egg & Claw Meerschaum Pipe (from 1982): Thompson African Meerschaum Pipe:

    Question About CAO Meerschaum Pipes

    I'm interested in a particular CAO pipe, but it doesn't appear to have Bekler's signature on it. It does say CR 1982 CAO on the bottom. It's my understanding that Bekler signed all of his pipes from 1974 until his passing. Does anyone know who any of the other pipe carvers were for CAO? Is there...

    Eliminate that Stinky Smoke Smell

    My Largest Tobacco Order - Merry Christmas To Me

    I guess you could call this a Christmas present to myself. I recently sold some collectible items on ebay, and in turn spent the money on this tobacco order. This is the largest order of tobacco I've ever made as I usually keep my orders fairly small as to not upset the wife. Happy wife...
