    Weight of pipe

    Weight is an inmportant crieteria in choosing a pipe not because of density but because of comfort. If I cannot comfortably clench a pipe, I won't buy it. The old Patent Dunhills are great smokers because of the quiality of briar and acheiving light weights. I guess this is why I enjoy my little...

    chicago pipe show 2009

    I'll be there Thursday afternoon to Sunday late morning. Can't wait! Picking up a few commissioned pipes from JT Cooke and Per Hansen, and on the hunt for a couple others. Bringing some very rare pipes and tobaccos for some good old horse trading!

    Tabacco Transporting...Idea's on Storage

    http://tightvac.com/ I have stored different rare tobacco in these containers for over a year. These keep the tobacco in perfect condition....maintaining aroma and flavor. Nothing else works as well as these containers IMHO.

    It's sorta silly but....

    I wonder if the "windscreen" is really effective.

    Balkan Sobranie

    Grant: I re-read what I posted yesterday, and it sounded quite rude. I apologize! As for your pouch, I have one that is almost full that I am not smoking. You are welcome to it. You can smoke this one and sell yours on Ebay. Just LMK

    Take a look at these!

    Ultra high end pipes! I asked about the Nordh Dublin and the Chonowitsch "little fish" with ivory. $6500 for the Nordh, $3500 for the Chono! :shock: http://www.aab-taxfreepipes.com/default.asp?vat=false&lang=uk

    Lack of Pipes!

    That Heding was my pipe......Marty is selling some pipes for me. I had a few unsmoked Roush's that I sent him, but he hasn't posted them yet. I think I priced that Heding too low............;)

    Balkan Sobranie

    I have BS Original in tins, cutter tops, and pouches. The pouch version is mediocre at best. It lacks the depth and richness of the old tins and cutter tops. Even some of the later versions of the tins are not on par with the older cutter top versions. Could be due to the ageing phenomena, could...

    Some Recent GL Pease eBay Values

    In a recent auction a tin of Scandal sold for $127. I find it interesting that these prices are now on par, and at some times surpasses the price of old Balkan Sobranie, both Original and 759. I recently sold a tin of Scandal for $65 bucks, and felt guilty that I was making a profit!
