    Hole in the Stem

    Hey Folks, I recently shared some Peterson Shamrocks I picked up to get refurbished as a project for my Dad and I. I got some great advice, and received them yesterday. They are in much better shape than I anticipated, and with the advice I was given I got the rims very clean. One issue I...

    Any Suggestion for a Pipe Restorer

    Hey Folks, I picked up a pair of shamrocks on eBay that I’m looking to restore. I thought about doing them myself, but I’m a bit worried about whether or not I’ll mess them up in the process. They have a lot going for them but it’s the rims and the bowls I’m worried about. Anyone have any...

    Making Progress: A Pipe and a Good Lighter

    I had a bit of a time deciding where to post this. Originally, I was thinking I'd post in the accessories thread to show off my holiday gift to myself. As I gave it some thought, it became more than just sharing an item. I bought myself an IM Corona Pipemaster and got it in the mail today...

    Finally a New Boswell

    Hey Folks, I just wanted to share with you my new Boswell nose warmer that I just snagged this morning. When I first got into pipes I had about 4 pipes from Boswell's. My favorite was a rusticated full bent "fat belly" that I smoked all the time. Unfortunately, a couple years later, I fell on...

    How Does a Reverse Calabash Work?

    Would somebody explain to an idiot how a reverse calabash works? I have my eye on one, and I was interested in a short thermal dynamics lesson.

    Subtleties Evade Me

    Hey Gents, I decided to write this post to get some tips from more experienced pipe smokers on picking out the different flavors present in tobacco. The reason being is my recent delving into new blends beyond my aromatics and Virginias laced with cavendish. I ordered some H&H Black House...

    The Long Wait.

    Oh how time slows down when we are waiting. Here I sit at work knowing there is a big box of goodies sitting on my porch. I can hear them crying out to be set free.

    Help Me Pick the Final Tin

    Hey Gents, The wife gave me permission to place an order for some baccy. I had placed my order over at pipes and cigars in the cart until payday (today). In that time frame, one of the tins I planned to order (White Knight) was put on back order. I have space for one more tin. So far, this...

    It's a Boy!

    Some time ago I made a post about my wife being pregnant with our first kid. Yesterday we found out it is a boy! He's healthy and developing normally. Do me a favor gents, and raise a pipe to my future son!

    My One Issue with Ebay is...

    When I pay for a pipe auction immediately as it ends, and three days go by with no notification of shipping beyond "a shipping label was created" and the seller doesn't have the courtesy to say when it will go out. This is not helping my quest for instant pipe gratification!

    Dunhill Rollalite Find

    Hey Gents, Work had been hell today so I decided on my lunch break to go out to get some air. I wound up at an open air flea market near my work and decided to walk around. I came across a tray with some old lighters in it. Mostly zippos that I didn't much care for. I did come across one...

    Something Like Dark Star?

    Hey Gents, The wife bought me a tin of McClelland's Dark Star for Christmas and I loved it. Took me a while to figure out how to prep it right as it is very damp. I basically had the tin open for a week and jarred it. I then cube cut some of the broken flakes, and then set the cubes out to...

    Need Some Advice on a Present

    Hey Gents, My Dad, the guy who got me into pipe smoking, is turning 56 shorty and I am looking for some tobacco suggestions for him. He is the type of guy that finds something he likes and never changes. That doesn't mean he wont try samples when offered. He is an English kind of guy. He...

    Looking to try a Balkan

    Hey Gents, I've only been a pipe smoker for 3-4 years now, and I spent most of that time as an aromatic smoker. Over the past year and a half, I've been exploring Virginias. I'm looking to now expand my experience to some Balkan blends. Could you be so kind as to point me out to some...

    Early Christmas Present

    So the wife decided to give me my Christmas gift early today since she got her new iPhone from me last week. Well, I was really happy to open up the package from PipesandCigars. This year, I sent my wife a wish list, but later told her not to worry about it (because we found out we were having...

    Becoming a Dad

    Hey Gents, It's been a while since I've been on the site. I tend to take a break from smoking during the summer down here in Florida. The weather is too hot for me to enjoy my porch. Now that it's getting colder, I've resumed my after work pipe. I love doing this because, as a child...

    Reverse Winter: It's Too Hot to Smoke

    Hey Gents, Been a while since I posted anything. Family issues and what-not. I live in central Florida, and the weather is starting to get warm (high 80's-mid 90's). Now I'm originally from the Adirondack Mountains in New York, so me and the weather in Florida don't always mix. I'm not...
