    Briar Stem Issues

    I posted yesterday about a new pipe I got with a briar stem. Turns out I don't like the mouth feel with the briar as it sucks all the moisture out of my mouth. Pity, because I really like the looks of the pipe, but it has been suggested that I start this post to see if any of you have had the...

    Briar Stems Anyone?

    I just got my first pipe with a briar stem. I'd thought about getting one for some time, and when I looked at the sale on estates at Smoking Pipes I found this little gem. A very nice shape with beautiful color made by Genod of France. For just $65.00 including shipping what's not to like? And...

    F.S. 3 Nice Pipes, Upshall, Gepetto, Stanwell - 3/22/24

    These are all larger types of pipes, and maybe a couple have tiny flaws. They are all bigger than pipes I currently like to smoke. You can clean them better if you wish, but they are pretty much good to go. All prices include shipping within the continental US. Paypal F&F please, just private...

    Came Across an Old Pipe and I Feel Smarter Already

    Yeah, I found this old WDC pipe I forgot about that is similar to the pipe that Smithsonian has of Albert Einstein's. Just a simple straight apple shape, so I dug out my C&D's version of the tobacco he was thought to have smoked. They call it Epiphany which is supposed to be like Revelation. I'm...

    Van Gogh For All Exhibit

    I just got back from this traveling Van Gogh exhibit at the Museum of the Mississippi Delta in Greenwood MS. It was a somewhat interesting interactive exhibit that looked to be geared more for kids or casually interested adults. Pretty well sanitized in its content. A short eight min. animated...

    Do All Old People Like Butterscotch?

    I guess I do. Great beginning to a new year!

    Ten Years Here, and Yet Another Birthday Pipe.

    So I've managed to stay on here for ten years as of last month, and while I'm not posting as much now as before, it's still a great place to hang out. Hell, I don't even smoke as much as I once did, but still enjoy it from time to time. I hit the big 77 today and bought myself my first new pipe...

    Got a Gift in the Mail Today!

    My grandson and his wife live in northern CA and they have a side business making custom T-shirts they sell on Etsy. I bought a couple the other day and they sent me a little bonus shirt. I even have a pipe that looks similar to the one on the shirt. Here's a photo of me in the shirt. Great kids...

    My Grandson Gave Me a Dr. Grabow, My First One in a Long Time

    I went to visit my stepdaughter in Texas for a few days over the 4th and my grandson had found this used Dr. Grabow Freehand and gave it to me. He's about 24 years old and is has been to visit here a few times so he knew I smoked a pipe. It hadn't been smoked that much, mostly just really dirty...

    Oldish MM Corncob

    I came across this corncob pipe while on vacation in Michigan at an Antique/junk store. I haven't seen one like it before, and I don't think it's too old, but it was cheap. So how old is it? It looks like someone tried to clean it up to help sell it, but it didn't really work too well. It does...

    Harry Belafonte Has Left Us.

    My parents listened to his records and I also became fan. Sad to hear of his passing, and decided to listen to one of his greatest recordings in my opinion at Carnegie Hall in 1959.

    Rattray's Olive Wood Pipe

    I've always been ambivalent about different woods for pipes. It's always been briar for pipes for me, with the exception of an old MM hardwood, and a Ropp cherrywood. Many years ago I bought an estate Paronelli olive wood pipe to try one out. I was not impressed. First of all, although it was...

    Dubious Stem Repair on a Charatan

    I got an old Charatan about 2 years ago that needed a stem replaced because of the damage on the bit. But as you know, I do like a challenge, and after its sitting around for the whole two years I finally got motivated to see what I could do. It had a lot of stem missing from the bit, more than...

    Mississippi Tornados

    I hope all is well with my fellow Mississippians here on this forum. I narrowly missed most of this crap storm, but I hope none of you suffered damages or loss. Heavy rains overflowed even my biggest culvert (30 in.) resulting in some loss of my driveway, otherwise just the usual mess form these...

    What's for Breakfast, Frosted Flakes or Frosted Blackpool?

    I haven't smoked Blackpool for what seems like years, but for some reason I decided to open the jar this morning and have a bowl. Much to my delight I saw that this eight year old Blackpool had developed some sparkling frosting! Picked up my old Yellow-Bole as it seemed appropriate for the...

    The Old Mystery Pipe

    So I've had this pipe for about 6 years and I think I posted it here when I got it to see if anyone could shed some light on it. I grabbed it to smoke today and thought that since we have so many new members here maybe I could see what you all thought about now. It is a beautifully made pipe...

    So I Did This... But I Was Coerced

    After my HUGE disappointment with the results of alaskanpiper's cutty competition, and my insistence that the Ropp with the wonderful birds eye grain should have won, even though it wasn't even in the running, I was forced to do this. He was nice enough to PM me with a couple of listings on SPC...

    Pipe Mold or Pipe Bloom?

    So years ago I bought this beat up Sea Jacopo coral dot that was grossly over reamed. I patched the inside of the bowl with some fireplace repair mortar and it came out pretty good. I coated it with rum and lit it up to set it. I've been smoking for years, but if I leave it alone for about 4-5...

    Crazy Weather Everywhere, and Now This!

    This is probably the least earthshaking news you've seen in awhile, what with all the serious weather that's been happening all over in the last couple of months, but I tell you this puts the final nail in the coffin of humanity as we know it. I'm out walking around the house and I come across...

    Re-visiting Lane Ltd. HGL.

    I couldn't find any recent discussions that I could add on to, so I started this one. Let's face it, HGL is not something really rare or in great demand, at least that I can tell. I bought a few oz. of this about 6 years ago, tried it a couple of times and wasn't impressed that much. So a few...
