New Zealand Briar Society
Mortonbriar’s comments are spot on with regards to needing the right wood to turn for pipe making. I also don’t know of any pipe makers in Aotearoa. But I do know a wonderful pipe maker who is in Melbourne. I am sure he would make commission pieces if you’re happy working with his time frame...- pruss

Broken Pipe - Mike Lancaster
Hey everyone, I had a scan of the forums and couldn’t find a post, so apologies if this is old news. I learned today that Michael Lancaster passed away. Mike was really active on YouTube and social media a number of years ago and helped bring the idea of artisan pipes to younger and newer pipe...- pruss

Yanik Buffalo Meer
Hey Brian, been an age, hope you’re well. I did the same thing you did, fell in love with an S. Yanik figural meer and pulled the trigger without questioning the engineering. Mine has the same issue yours does, with the airway slotting in under the bottom of the chamber. That said, I’ve...- pruss

New Pipe Ghosted with 1Q.
I’ve given a Viking funeral to more than a few in my time. When I left Canada for New Zealand I burned about thirty misused and maltreated briar stummels in my parents wood burning stove. Ironically, the pipes burned down to a fine white ash.- pruss

What are You Watching? Year 2022
Was surprisingly pleased with Obi-Wan Kenobi which launched on Friday. For a 48 year old the show was one giant Easter Egg. I found the pacing good, the new characters enjoyable, and the lack of faith in the Jedi refreshing. The actors who return pick up their characters like a warm glove. The...- pruss

What are You Watching? Year 2022
I’m working my way through 1883 at an episode or two per week during TV time with my wife. The acting has been wonderful so far, with Isabel May stealing the show by delivering wonderful moments. Sam Elliott is always good, but Tim McGraw is showing us that the future of the Western is in good...- pruss

Show Off Your Bulldogs/Rhodesians
This one is big enough that it deserves its own post. I have named it “Bradley”. It’s my only Rad Davis pipe; and if I cube cut, it takes four flakes with some head space at the top of the bowl.- pruss
