    Ebay search question

    I don't know if it's possible but I can't find it on Ebay. I would like to be able to exclude the offerings from my searches of a certain seller of ill repute, to my mind, so I don't have to kick my own ass for not dealing with them years ago for their piss poor customer treatment and lousy...

    Virginia Cream

    I don't smoke aros at all....till this one. Two big bowls in an 1987 Ashton XXX Dublin. The tin smells just like a bottle of real vanilla extract when opened. The rest of the way it was a very good quality Virginia taste. I'm going put this in my lineup and would encourage others to give this a...

    Bringing two into the fold.

    I worked with a guy for years and never knew he was a pipe smoker as he never smoked at work. We had many wonderful BS sessions about hunting, fishing as well as pipes and tobacco. We traded a lot of smoking material and I gave him a few pipes. Well a couple of years ago he retired and moved to...

    IPSD purchase

    This is my first smokingpipes.com pipe. I've dubbed it the USS. Old Cajun in honor of Brad. This pipe is one he would appreciate. Its a Rinaldo. Massive pipe.

    Looking for the right meer.

    I've notice a lot of you finding old meerschaums that have that beautiful look to the meer of golden and brown and look well cared for. I could use some help in which direction to go to find them and then knowing what makes a good one.

    Erik Stokkebye 1855

    I've smoked this blend fresh and with 2 years on it. It got noticeably better with age and look forward to what it will do in a few more years. Very nice tasty smoke if you keep it going above a smolder. Takes little to get it in smoking shape as it's near dry enough out of the tin. It is a...

    Meerschaum maker recommendations

    I've done a lot of window shopping but don't have a firm grasp yet of trusted sellers. Altinok? Meerco on ebay? MeerQueen I've heard good things about but he has nothing to choose from for me now.

    Finding a seller on Ebay.

    How in the hell do you do it??? I've been trying for the last hour to find several sellers and keep them in my saved sellers file and I'll be damned if I can find out how to find them. It is probably so obvious that I'm just going to end up embarrassing myself but I'm tired of going in circles...

    Two Ser Jacapos

    My taste in pipes trend toward the conservative English type style of pipe. However once in awhile I get a wild hair up me arse and I get something like these two. I am very glad I did as they are superb smokers with anything I have put in them. I will be on the lookout in the future for this...

    Finally found my Birth year Dunhill

    It has not been easy to find a quality 1962 Dunhill as it's been several years in search. Most have been real beat and just not something I wanted to deal with or in the case of one, astronomical in price. Dave Neeb had it on his site. I've never been enamored with the panel shape but this ODA...

    The best Irish Flake has ever tasted.

    One of my favorites but it never tasted so good till I bought this. However!!! Once I got down to the last third I started to get that horrible stain taste. This is a silver spigot POY for 2003. Surely they would have given a little extra effort to keep that skanky crap out of the chamber...

    In memory of a buck

    To commemorate my first deer hunt and first buck I bought a Peterson Sherlock Holmes Deerslayer. First the buck. Now the pipe. With Petes it can be a crapshoot but this one smokes as well as my best ones.

    Where's the popcorn???

    Watched this one. WOW!!!

    I love this shape, blast and age but alas knew it was not to be mine. The bidding was fierce on this one. Anyone watch this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/390978861683?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Sasieni four dot.

    I just got done watching this auction. Wow did it go crazy. I bid at $150 and it kept going so I bowed out. Is this pipe worth that price. I ask because I'd like to add a nice Sasieni to the collection. Good deal for pipestud. He made out like a bandit...

    Search for Dr. Watson bowler.

    The bowler that Dr. Watson (Edward Hardwicke)wears in the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes series is what I am in search of. He wore that particular hat on many of the shows he appeared in. It's crown was more sloping and a more sharply rounded peak on the crown. Look at the 12-13 min mark. I've...

    Robert McConnell Oriental

    I was mistaken when I bought this tobacco, that it didn't have any latakia in it. It does and I was disappointed when I cracked it and got that telltale odor. I used to love Lat. the stronger the better but my tastes have certainly changed the last couple of years. VA/Per/Bur blends are where it...

    Tin of 1998 St. James Woods

    This tin, with 15 years of age on it, is just outstanding. Almost jet black it is similar, to my tastes, to SG St.James flake only way better in this vintage. It tastes kind of like dark chocolate covered raisins. It really is a wonderfully tasty treat that I'm braving bitterly cold temps to...
