    Pipestud Needs Help Identifying A Pipe... Once again!

    I recently received a beautiful looking unsmoked pipe to sell but the consignor didn't know who made it and all I found was a "GR" stamped on the pipe. I seldom will list a smoking pipe if the consignor doesn't know the maker, or if I can't figure it out. but I am willing to do so with this...

    Some "Social Justice" Child just Knocked out Pipestud's Website!

    Hello Gentlemen and I certainly feel the frustration some of you are having regarding my website. That was quite an early Christmas Present that somebody gave my website yesterday! Unfortunately, this has happened several times before and will probably happen again. I hope that I can...

    🎄The Official Unofficial PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2023 🎅

    Howdy mngslvs and unfortunately, the Maine laws have changed and pipe tobacco can be shipped to Maine only if the recipient has a Maine tobacco license. I have a couple of Maine customers who now have me ship their purchases to either a family member or friend in another state and then have that...

    Sealed Tins, Jars, and High Altitudes

    Sorry you got dynamited troutface. Back in 2021 I wrote a blog on my website and included some photos of the same issue that occurred with you, and I am only at only 300 feet above sea level. Here's a cut/paste of part of that blog: "All kinds of disasters have been occurring lately down here...

    Auction Oddities

    Thanks for the heads up gentlemen! Unfortunately, this happens from time to time and when I am notified, I hit the "Report this Listing" section of the auction and tell eBay that the seller is doing what eBay calls a violation of their Search Manipulation Policy found here: Search manipulation...

    Aging tobacco in my own lifespan

    Howdy gang and I sure have enjoyed reading through this thread. I ran a survey on my website about a year ago asking my customers to tell me what the main reason was for making purchases on my website. I was actually a little surprised (make that a lot surprised), to find that the vast majority...

    Gettin on the Yacht

    I'll sure give it a try, but since it's still Orlik made I can't imagine much change - except fresher. My favorite era was Murray's because it had more of that mysterious casing in it than the original Dunhill London made version. The Orlik version - according to my taste buds - just never has...

    THE Chicago Pipe Show — Battle of the Briar, Pt 1

    Thanks for the comments Papamique and all of the other contributors to this thread. And I know that I worked hard over the several days of preparation. Yes sir, it was tough chugging down those huge slices of Chicago pizza in order to stay out of the way of all those young strong guys who were...

    Old Toby - McClelland

    Sorry to be late to the party. Been a crazy week getting ready for the Chicago Trip. And no, I never thought to ask McNiel what was in it. At my age I have trouble remembering yesterday, and since I was still running a manual rather than ecommerce website back in 2015, I couldn't check to see...

    Query on Pipe Smoking

    Let's see, been smoking a pipe daily for over 50-years. I did have tongue bite so bad when I first started that the doctor had to put my tongue in a sling for a couple of weeks. So, I feel your pain Bikes & Briar. Just get yourself a bottle of Biotene mouthwash. Here's some info about it that I...

    Pipestud Needs Pipe Identification Help Again!

    And thanks guys. You have humbled me once again. I am always amazed at how I get a Sherlock Holmes dude to help me so quickly. Many thanks greeneyes! Thankfully, the consignor who sent me several Svetlana pipes sent only the ones that looked like, well, pipes.

    It's the new wave art, Jesse. In fact, I think you'd look swell smoking the Svetlana on the upper left. But unfortunately, it has already been sold. Oh darn.... right?

    Pipestud Needs Pipe Identification Help Again!

    Howdy Gang, I just received several nice unsmoked pipes from a consignor who has no idea who made the pipes. All have the same marking on the wood. It looks like the spelling of the name is either Neohaev or Nechaeva. And the logo looks like a butterfly to me. My limited searching abilities...
