    Ropp Pipe

    Got a new Ropp, but the pic isn't coming out right. I'll try to post later. Looks like a good pipe, though.

    Favorite Christmas movie?

    What's yours? I think I have to go with Christmas Vacation. Great memories of watching it with my family as a kid. I love all the one-liners and of course, cousin Eddie. Merry Christmas!

    First meer smoke

    Just had a couple bowls in my new (to me) meerschaum. Had some halfling's leaf and an english blend. The halflings leaf was really good, of course, but I think the english was some leftover 'franken-blend' from the other day, and it was no bueno. I like the lightness of the pipe and the more...

    Halfling's Leaf first smoke

    Just got it yesterday, but haven't gotten around to having any until now. I like it a lot, and will definitely be getting more. I kind of wanna try their other blends, too. I'm getting kind of a spicy, chocolatey flavor from it. Thanks to the Jack Lee folks!

    Just had some Pelican for the first time!

    I've only been smoking a pipe for a few months, and while I like aros, I have been on an English/Lat kick lately. I have some FMOTT that I got at the beginning and love, but heard about Pelican from a forum a couple weeks ago, and decided to try it. I don't know that I'm qualified to give a...

    Favorite Homemade blends/combos/experiments

    I'm sure this topic has come up on other threads, but I couldn't find it in my fifteen seconds of searching, so I figured I'd start a new one. I have some Fox & Hound from Altadis and some PA, both of which I didn't care for on their own. However, I mixed equal parts (about) of them both and...

    What's closest thing to Penzance?

    Since Penzance is so elusive, I was wondering if you fine folks had some opinions on what is a close second that is actually obtainable? Thanks in advance!

    Stem bleach treatment question

    I am bleaching a stem, fully submerged in a bowl. How long should I bleach it? I am trying to both de-oxidize as well as sanitize it. Do I just wait until it's black again? If so, about how long should that take if it wasn't super oxidized to begin with? Thank you!

    Gouge in briar bowl-fixable?

    I just got an estate pipe off of ebay and it is in good shape, except for a decent sized gouge/pitted area in the bottom of the inside of the bowl. :crying: Looks like someone got too aggressive when cleaning it out at one point or something. Just wondering if there are any techniques/tricks...

    Amaretto Churchwarden?

    I saw a churchwarden with the name Amaretto on it, but could'nt tell what brand it was. Do any of you guys know what that is? Thanks. Sorry, unable to post a pic.

    Moulin Rouge London(?) and Kaywoodie Estates

    Well, I hope the pics come out. A couple of estates I picked up this week. I haven't found out too much about the London pipe, but it is sure purdy. I'll probably smoke some Frog Morton in it tomorrow. Thanks for all the tips and advice you guys. -Matt

    Does anyone know what this is? Is it worth bidding a bunch on? Thank you! http://www.ebay.com/itm/KING-ERIK-CUSTOM-2-TONE-BILLIARD-BRIAR-SMOKING-TOBACCO-PIPE-DENMARK-ESTATE-LOT-/190747260467?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c696c3633

    Chacom billiard pipe?

    I am a very new pipe smoker. My wife got me a nice little basket pipe labeled "Czech" for my birthday and I won a Goeddewaagen on Ebay pretty cheaply recently. I won a Chacom billiard pipe the other day as well. It was about $39 total with shipping. Just wondering if that's a good pipe/deal...
