Speaking to the shell casing tamper idea ... it could actually be a dual purpose smoke tool as the open end could be used as a cigar punch cutter. Sharpen the open end and then fashion a suitable cover for that end and you have a pipe tamper and punch cutter. :)

I'll second whoever said J Fuege Origen Originals ... great little smokes (a 5er costs $10 at my local B&M) ... Another good, short smoke is the Cuchillos Cubanos line from D Giolito (maker of Illusione). When it comes to small perfectos my favorite is the Ashton VSG Enchantment ... but it's...

Love the shape of this one!

Wow ... that's horrible. Thoughts and prayers go out to them.

Looking for opinions on the best pre-drilled briar pipe kit out there ... I've been looking at Pimo's kit but was wanting to hear opinions on other kits as well before i pulled the trigger.

This sounds like a lot of fun and I've been thinking about trying to carve my own pipe for a few months now ... I don't want to commit as the next couple of months are going to be very busy with a big cross-country relocation (more like a vertical move) coming up but if I can carve something I...

That looks like a peaceful place. And I'm pretty sure I love your desk! Would it be wrong of me to say that I'd like to see more pics? :)

I have now, for the fourth time, picked back up "Off to the Side: A Memoir" by Jim Harrison. I also only have three or four chapters left on Russell Chatham's "Dark Waters" ... if I could only remember where I put it. I did recently finish "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain ... I...

Hello ... I found my way here via Neill's blog, apassionforpipes. Thanks to my grandpa I have a long running romance with pipes although I've only ever smoked a pipe once (and it was recently). I currently enjoy smoking cigars but am looking forward to digging around and learning more about the...
