    Show Us Your Pipe Cabinet

    I finally got this Two Cousins 28 count pipe rack with storage permanently mounted here in SoAZ. I like that I can spin around in my chair to access it. This Thomas Cristiano (RIP) 200 count case that you’ve seen before is back in WI.

    So Sad

    LaCrosse is a college town with lots of taverns near the Mississippi River. For a time there were so many drownings that the school posted volunteer river watchers in Riverside Park at bar time.

    Nicotine or Relaxation?

    Relaxation! After almost 40 years I’ve never woke up needing a smoke but I have woken up to check eBay and checked a pipe in transit. I’ve been living a smoke filled life at PCA here in Vegas and I left the convention center a little queasy from the smoke.

    Sorry Double Post

    IAPSC vs. UPCA

    I think the UPCA is the primary governing group for the USA and sponsors the US Pipe Smoking Championship that follows the world rules. The IASPC is the very long time group from Michigan that has their own rules and championship. Ask @lestrout

    Peterson or IM Corona

    Both are low price Dunhill knock off’s but I know the Corona Old Boy is repairable.

    Shamrocks & Shenanigans 2024

    Enjoyed St Paddy’s day brunch at the club. Delicious corned beef at the carving station. Green beer was flowing freely!

    Is This Tin 29 Years?

    Looks like the larger post 2017 EU warning labels.

    Jan Zeman Pipes

    I know the name but with many carvers their value comes from personal relationships from shows, social media and pipe boards.

    Why Does my Pipe Die When I Tamp?

    Probably over tamping. Get the feel using your index finger.

    Any Castello Comparable pipes?

    I’m the opposite. I prefer a crisp line. I’ve found beveled or a rounded edge seems to darken easier. Not Italian but Butera, Parks and Roush rusticated pipes are as good or better than a good Sea Rock carving.

    Sutliff Crème Brûlée

    It’s not one I reach for but it’s a best seller by a wide margin at the shop I work at.

    Another Meer Coloring Tip/Method

    I'd say using a coloring bowl is the most effective way to color a meer.

    Howdy from Arizona

    Welcome from Green Valley AZ. By the time I retired from the Operators a few years ago stakes were pretty much a thing of the past.

    Comptons Tobacco still in production?

    Max is still around with pipes2smoke but Compton’s is long gone. Sealed bags bring some pretty good money!
