    Finally got Some Jars! My First Jarring Session.

    After reading about jarring and cellaring a bunch here, I finally broke down and bought some small jars yesterday. I usually have one tin open and two tobacco canisters open but thanks to TAD I have an abundance of tobaccos I wanted to try. I usually waited until one was finished, but I think...

    A Shout Out for Sparrowhawk

    All, You may have seen Sparrowhawks post about receiving a plaque form Missouri Meerschaum that they accidentally put in with his order. As he didn't need it, he offered it up to the forum.

    The Next Time Someone Says 'Huge' in an Ebay Listing, I'll Believe.

    I love my Nording pipes but I also love 'sitters' and none of my Nordings will just sit. So I've been searching for a little while and once came up on the Bay and I won. The seller described it as huge, but as most Nording pipes are usually a little large I assumed that while it was a little...

    One for My Alma Mater...(A Little Pic Heavy)

    I never was one to go for yearbooks or class rings from schools. However I had to go up to Fort Collins, Colorado a few months ago on business and I stopped in a local B&M. At the time, I saw a beautiful meerschaum carved in the shape of a rams head which was quite stunning. Now there was a pipe...

    PAD Gone Wild

    Well the postman graced me with a few pipes this weekend and I don't think I could be happier. First up was one I have been trying to find for quite a while now and I finally found it. A Savinelli Da Vinci series Bombard. I originally tried to track down a rusticated but when this beauty showed...

    A GBD Meerschaum or Not?

    Hey all, I was checking Ebay and saw this auction for a GBD meerschaum. Upon closer inspection I really didn't notice any distinguishing GBD markings except for the box and pouch. The rest seem to point to a generic meerschaum made in Turkey. The look up of auctions with the name Hayim Pinhas...

    Some new to me estates and a Dunhill Dating Question (Pic heavy)

    I while ago I won an action on the Bay from across the pond. It took a while and the package made it. One of the estates was a Dunhill 114. I'm trying to date this but I can't quite make out the year stamp after the patent number. I took some pics and was wondering if anyone here can make it...

    Anyone know this Ebay Seller?

    About a month ago I won this auction: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180965999039 Still no pipe. I've sent a few inquiries but no response from the seller. He had a pretty good feedback of over 95% now today it's down to 89%. I'm assuming an emergency happened and he hasn't...

    My New Baby!!!

    I received a wonderful pipe over the weekend. I've loved the 999 shape for a while now and when I saw this beauty I just had to have her. I'm not sure how old she is yet, but I do know she smokes like a dream. I just had to share with you folks. :-)

    Dunhill Gift Set - Anyone ever see one of these?

    Hey all, I’ve been on a quest to find some older Murrays Dunhill blends but the ones on Ebay are always priced pretty steep. I saw this set and decided to give it a shot. The seller really didn’t mention any specifics and the pics were a little hard to see to get any detail. I ended up getting...
