Finally! An Estate Pipe Of Reasonable Quality In The Local Buy & Sell
... only to find out that the vendor has it listed at a price which is higher than buying it new from The Danish Pipe Shop, having it shipped to NZ, and paying the duty on it. Darn it all to heck. This country is murder on PAD. In other news, if I get desperate I can buy the Estrella the same... -

Job Posting - CEO (un)Official Pipes Magazine Secret Santa
Heya folks. After a couple great years of solid Secret Santa programs which saw nearly 100 gifts exchanged into 8 different countries, a couple of protectorates and Texas, I'm heading to my porch to kick up my heels and smoke a pipe.

Comoy's Sandblast 42
Here's a lovely little Sandblast that gets added to the inbox in the Pipe Cave. If the chip in the tars in the rim (at 9:00 in the top down picture of the chamber) isn't a crack, then I'm happy with my $15 + shipping snipe. If it is a fatal flaw, then I at least get to practice cleaning up...- pruss

Hello, my name is Pat, and I am an unabashed Christmas Aromatic pipe tobacco smoker. At Christmas. For the last few years I've been smoking Glynn's delightful Christmas Blends from GQ Tobacco. That's not an option this year and I'm allergic to goopy, PG laden, syrupy, flavour heavy...- pruss

Pipes & Cigars - Customer Appreciation Event
I'm trying to remember when P&C does their annual Customer Appreciation Event. If memory serves, and it sometimes doesn't, this usually goes off around November doesn't it? I'm trying to remember, but it feels like a year or so since the last huge outpouring of vitriol and spite directed at P&C...- pruss

Sometimes You Gotta Love Mail -- Classified Ad Pays Off (Pics)
So we all know not to buy pipes when the pictures are shoddy and don't cover all angles... We also know that when the seller gets basic pipe shapes wrong we shouldn't trust their assessment of a pipe's condition... But sometimes you just gotta go with it. This arrived today. $120CDN delivered...- pruss

Heirloom PAD - Oldies, Goodies, & Mysteries (Novel Length & PIC HEAVY)
Afternoon folks. I had another one of those fantastic pipe moments last week; one of those convergences that happen when least expected that leaves life richer. As is my wont, I search online want-ads like Craiglist and, our Canadian iteration (Kijiji), for pipes and tobacciana with... -
Made in Canada - Brigham PAD
Over the last month we've had a good dialogue about the relative merits of Brigham pipes. Being in Canada, they are ubiquitous, but not always available in the highest grades or rarer shapes and finishes. I am a booster of the higher grade "Made in Canada" Brighams and am now able to point to... -

So yesterday I received an email from the president of a pipe club in Southwestern Ontario. He and his club are about three hours away from my club, but we are friendly in social media and try to connect as often as possible. His email struck a chord, so I thought I'd share the recent struggle...- pruss

Michael Parks Trouter Pipe - Pic Heavy
I was reading Nate's post about his meteorite impregnated space dog, and was reminded about this pipe which Michael made a few years back. The Trouter pipes are made to be able to be worn on a leather chord around the neck, so if the fisherman hooks into a big one he can drop the pipe without... -
Ryan Alden Olive Author PAD (Pictures)
Morning folks. It has been a long time since I've exercised any PAD. Ryan made this pipe to take to the Chicago show and I was enamoured with it. He quietly put it aside and when I was able to buy it, it showed up in my mailbox. This is my first olive wood pipe, and my third Alden. I really... -
