My New Lee Von Erck Classic!
I honestly never though I would see the day when I'd own a Von Erck. I leant a hand at the UP 200, a dogsled race held annually here in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. They held a silent auction to raise money for the mushers, among the items was this beauty. It was carved just to be auctioned to...- austinxpipe

Your Thoughts on Don Florian Freehands
I stumbled upon these on an auction site. I haven't heard much about them, other than sparse reviews on other pipe forums. They sound like good smokers. They are hand carved (or lack thereof) and numbered. I picked up No. 1195 online last night, partially because my budget had just reset...- austinxpipe

Tobacco and Tea
After reading the article on the main site about Tobacco and Tea, I fixed myself a tall mug of Earl Grey and a bowl of C&D Constellation. It's a good pair so far. I have lots of teas and lots of tobaccos, and I love exploring combos. So what does everyone like?!- austinxpipe

After a very successful and exhausting week at work I treated myself to a bottle of scotch. I picked up a bottle of McClelland's Islay. I'm still exploring Scotch and what I like.

I screwed up BAD!
I brought home a Baronet Bruyere today, and in my excitement to pick it up I didn't notice that the stem was oxidized (maybe). In fact, I didn't even really know what I was looking at until it was too late. Here's what happened. Being new at this, i didn't realize nor know what it meant to...- austinxpipe

What pipes should you have and why?
What's a good pipe lineup to have? I'm buying a handful of corn cobs today so I can sample lots of tobaccos and get a feel for what I will like. I also ordered one from eBay made of Pear Root wood Hopefully as the months go on I can start to make a nice little collection. Wondering if any of...- austinxpipe

Northern Michigan/Upper Peninsula
Are there any members in the Northern Michigan area? Specifically Marquette? I'm a newbie but I'm looking to learn! I tried Google but all I could find were clubs from Marquette University (in Milwaukee WI) and various adds, among other useless results.- austinxpipe
