    Recommendations for Pipe Shops in Paris?

    Curious if anyone can recommend a pipe shop/tobacco shop or two in Paris France. And if they may have a good house blend. My youngest daughter now has to live there at least half the year for her work. "I" can't think of a better way for her to spend her free time that to go shopping for me...

    Pipe no Longer Fits its Case.

    I have had this little meer for years. I almost always put it back in it case right away after cooling down. This time it sat on my desk for a few extra days and to my surprise it no longer fits. Seems as if the stem has lost some of the curve. Ideas?

    Tell Me What This Tobacco Is

    I'm looking for a few brave souls who really know their tobaccos and are up for a challenge. I have a handful of tobaccos (6) that I have no idea what they are and want to see if a few different pipers can try them and see if they can come to a conclusion on what they might be. These tobaccos...

    Three Nuns & Last Known Perique

    Sorry if this has been discussed before, I have looked and did not find the answer I'm looking for. After reading Kevin's blog (several times) I am left with the same question. Kevin concluded that he was given a tin of Three Nuns from 1998 that still contained Perique in the blend. My...

    Halcyon II Wax ?

    This question is for anyone who has purchased the Halcyon II wax. How full of the solution is the jar when new? The new jar I purchased is just over half full. Is this normal? I sent an email to the seller last week, but have yet to hear back.

    More Praise For Norwood Pipe Repair

    I can't say enough good about Norwood Pipe Repair. After the last work I had done, it was a no questions asked that I'm a customer for life. The speed & quality of the service is second to none. I had an old figural briar that had a broken bone screw and missing amber stem. The pipe isn't...

    Has anyone ever used a Rocky Mountain Air Purifier? I'm just curious if they are as good as they sound. :-) I was going to purchase a CT-500 smoke eater from HomeSmokeEater.com, but they are having supply issues so I opted for the SUMMIT model from Rocky Mountain Air which should give decent...
