    Morning Blend Anyone?

    I have been smoking the pipe since 1970. To this day I am a nicotine wimp and cannot even think about having a pipe until I have been up and about for six to seven hours. But I make up for it with three of four bowls during the rest of the day. The great benefit of being retired. My hat is...

    Estate Pipe With Tight Fitting Stem

    I have had success with rubbing Ivory bar soap on the tenon.

    Another Nice French Pipe!

    If you’re happy, that’s all that matters. As for going to hell, that’s way beyond my pay grade.

    An Illustrated Guide to Buying a Good $20 Pipe

    They’re not much to look at, but I’m glad they smoke well. Good work.

    Arlington Pipe and Cigar (Illinois)

    When I get back to the Chicago area, I try to drop in there. It is truly a great place for pipes and pipe tobacco. Not quite the level of Iwan Ries, but that’s a very high bar, and you don’t have to deal with the the once-great Chicago Loop area which has degenerated into a s#@thole.

    How to treat PAD (and TAD)

    25 pipes in just over a year is more than “intense immersion“. And I admire your work.

    A New Family Addition

    Bulldogs by definition have a diamond shaped shank. It is a Rhodesian.

    I’m not a fan of Charatans, but you did a magnificent job on the restoration.

    In Support Of Calabash Pipes

    I am not a fan. Nor am I a fan of cobs, meerschsum, morta. My 37 pipes are exclusively briar, nearly all with acrylic stems. I bought A Ser Jacopo briar calabash years ago, but eventually traded it because of the size and shape. That said, I ascribe to the old Latin saying De Gustibus non est...

    Cursed Pipe Won't Smoke

    I know this is apostasy among our brothers on this forum, but the last Peterson I bought was 35 years ago and was poorly constructed. I cannot try them anymore.

    Anybody Else Mashed the "Complete Order" too Soon?

    I generally have no problem ordering on line, but when I order from SP, I always call in the order. The guy answering always verifies the product. The interaction forces me to think and Sps verification is a backup check.

    Tinbids Observations

    Yes it’s supply and demand. It’s a market. A buyer and seller agree on a price and both are satisfied. People claiming to “ know” or “believe” the worth of a good for sale drive me nuts. Only the market determines price, not some belief.

    Turning down the nicotine dial

    After 50+ years of smoking a pipe, I still cannot tolerate burley. I suspect it’s body chemistry.

    Who Made my Irwin Ries?

    I remember this line of Danish shapes back in the 70s when I lived in Chicago and regularly took the El downtown to Iwan Ries. I had a couple smooth and semi-blasted like the one above. I wanna say they were Stanwell seconds, but won’t swear to it.

    Pipe Smoking In Bed

    Correction: the only two things to do in bed are SLEEP and ( you know what). My original post of smoke and ( you know what) was a Freudian slip.
