    Came Across A Box Of Don Mock Pipes

    Another member on the forum and I bought out an estate lot and we ended with 53 pipes from this carver. These are some of the most bizarre looking pipes Ive ever seen. I could find next to no information on this carver, other than that he is from the Midwest. The gentleman (Paul) who was...

    I'm working on a pipe restoration and my last step is fitting a stem blank with the rest of the pipe. After receiving the blanks today and examining the pipes shank I've realized this is going to be harder than I was expecting. Is it possible to do this without a Tenon turning tool? I received...

    McClelland 5100 Red Cake

    What is your opinion on this tobacco? I just received some from P&C today and I'm a bit flustered by it. It smells and looks like an aromatic almost feels like they gave me the wrong tobacco.

    Check Bank Statement if You Ordered From P&C

    Balsa Filter

    I read in a thread recently that some people make their own filters by triming balsa wood as a substitute for the Savinelli balsa filtere. I bought some balsa wood sticks on amazon to try this.
