As for whether or not to smoke the pipe... Honestly this was never never really a thought until I read some of these posts. I am not the type of a person that goes out and buys a Corvette Z06 and parks it in the garage and looks at it but never drives it. I'm the guy that went out and bought...

You know I talked to the pipe and it told me that it's not willing to immigrate to Canada... Kept mumbling something about french, and weird since of humor... I don't know... Sorry :scratch:

That's about as much info as I found... I know it's pre-Kaywoodie and that's about it. I have to admit part of the reason I bought it was the age but mostly it was the look and the shape. I just think it's fantastic looking and because of that I probably overpaid. Even if I did overpay I'm...

Just got this new "old" pipe, it's a KB&B (Kaufman Brothers and Bondy) Blue Line Bakelite. I'm told that it's a Pre Kaywoodie but I don't know... Any idea how old it might be or any other info about it or the "Blue Line" brand? I've done a bunch of searching on the net and found almost...

Can someone tell me what PAD an TAD are? IF PAD is what I think it is, then I think I have it...BAD... Another pipe I just acquired...

The availability of Jim Beam and Everclear might be a little scarce over here... LOL Is there any non-alchoholic means by which I can sanitize my new pipe? I think if I showed up on base with the before mentioned sprites and said I was here to clean my pipe my boss might loo at me a little bit...

When I get it, how do I sanitize it?

Good to know about the Nording's, I guess I'll pass on it... Anyway I just bought an Estate pipe :lol!: I bought the pipe below. The price was what I would consider acceptable, I thought it looked nice, and I need a few pipes to start with; what do you think? [/url][/img][/url][/img]

So, I've been looking at pipes and I found a couple I like (1 I'll probably buy) but I have a question... What makes one pipe worth say $70 and the next worth $700? Secondly, The pipe I will likely purchase is a Nording partially rusticated Freehand (4) Is this an appropriate pipe for a...

Since most of the tobaccos I have seen are relatively inexpensive (i.e. between $3-$8 per 2oz) I will likely try several different types and blends. Question, should I use a different pipe for each type of tobacco (i.e. aromatic, English, Virginia, Burley, and Oriental)? This probably won't be...

Well I ordered some aromatics (the ones suggested) then decided on the blend based on what I think I'll like. I ordered Lane 1-Q, Lane HS-3, and McClelland Town Topic. I also bought a Cob- Spool shaped Great Dane with a bent stem, some pipe cleaners, and some filters. I did forget to get a...

Thanks for the reply and thank you for the kind words. I'm not 100% sure who makes the pipe I'm getting but I know it's coming from meerschaumstore.com (Item AN045 Eagle with Claw). The pipe size will be XL with a standard shank and original white wax. As for the tobacco, can you recommend a...

I have always loved the smell of a pipe. I have never been a smoker and likely never will but on several occasions in my like I have picked up the pipe and I have always loved it. The issue I have always had is that it's not... well easy to do. Let me be a little more clear. I always had...
