    Briarville Restoration

    I posted a while back about an old Meer I found on EBay. Original post can be found here http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/help-identifying-an-ebay-purchase I sent it off to Ric at Briarville after calling him to inquire about his services. He was very informative and after blessing my...

    Help Identifying An EBay Purchase

    Hi, So the bidding is over and I won. I love the shape and the idea of owning an antique pipe. I have a few older pipes, but this may be the elder statesman of my collection. I am looking for some help getting some details about the pipe. I’ll post the auction and if necessary I’ll post some...

    Long Island Pipe Club

    I have been kicking the idea around of starting a local pipe club here in Long Island New York since I picked up a pipe. Recently I met a few fellow pipe smokers on Facebook who showed an interest. I have been doing some footwork and think we have the beginnings of A club. Today I went to a...

    Dan Founder's Reserve The Malthouse

    Does anyone know if this bkend is still in production? Checked Tobaccoreview.com and it says production "unknown". This is one of those blends I hated on first attempt, but jarred it up and a couple of years later tried it and enjoyed it.

    Some Meershaum Issues

    Hi there, I have had a recent fascination with meershaum pipes and not much luck with my recent purchases. A while back I spotted a poker on SP.com that was unnamed but was stamped "block meershaum" (pictured below),

    Does Anyone Mix Tobacco Preperations In The Same Bowl?

    Hello. It's been a dog's life since I posted here. I have kept up my lurking duties, but now find myself in my yard enjoying a bowl after having tried a little experiment. I love S.G. FVF, but have always had a hell of a time getting and keeping it lit. I tried most methods, fold and stuff...

    A Visit To Austin

    Austin is a weird place and the best part is Austin is proud of that. I am a New Yorker and so pretty used to seeing hipsters in droves. This place is hip high in hipsters. I wasn't too sure if there was going to be a lot of time for pipe smoking and I also wasn't too sure what the policy...

    For Any Fans Of The Show Turn or History Buffs

    I have a huge interest in The Revolutionary War. Growing up on Long Island I always thought that the history here was that the Continental Army lost the battle of New York and the British occupied Long Island and that was about it. As I became interested in history I learned that New York and...

    Recieved My Parker Diplomat From Viking Pipe Club

    All I can say is wow! This pipe is in pretty damn nice shape for a 60(?) year old pipe. It was packed perfectly with a nice note from. I used some alcohol and pipe cleaners and everything seemed very clean so I packed a bowl of the last of my Hal 'O The Wynd and went out for a smoke. YUCK...

    Added A Parker In A Fit Of PAD

    I have been looking to add another Parker to my collection and when I found this on Viking Pipe Club's site I couldn't pass it up. It is a Parker 140 Super Bark. They have it listed as a vintage pipe and from what I am able to figure it is post 1952. It seems to be in pretty damned nice shape...

    IMeershaum Pipe. Is It A Winner?

    I have coveted a meershaum for a while. I am clueless as to what to get. There is a local B&M to whom I am not crazy about that apparantly was quite the pipe shop in the past, but now is a cigar only outlet. They have some old stock of pipes, but when I ask any questions they are not very...

    Found My Original

    It sure is good to have found the first pipe I ever bought. I bought it at a local B&M. The pipe is a Brindisi and is just a basket pipe, but it has the sentimental honor of being my first. I went back a while later and bought a second, a poker. It is the one I am smoking in my profile. I lost...

    Cobwarden out of boredom

    Bored out of my mind today waiting for a contractor to finish some work. I had found someone in my neighborhood had cut down some of their bamboo and I took a few branches to make some stakes for my garden. I was sitting out back smoking my pipe and remembered that someone had posted recently...

    Dental Nightmare, Pipe Smoking

    I am having a pretty bad time with my teeth. I have a molar that needs to come out. This is after a failed root canal to save it. I have been on antibiotics, on and off, for the past month. The fix is a dental implant. The fix is problematic at best. Due to the location of the tooth and past...

    Brotherly Love, Briar Grows Us Closer

    I have posted here recently on how my brother, eighteen years my senior is my pipe smoking mentor. When he found out that I took up the briar he reached out to me to encourge me. We had some great conversations about the love of smoking and I learned so much. We have been getting together more...
