    New Pipe Club Advice

    Not from me but for me. We are starting a Deep South Pipe club here in Jackson, MS. Just wondered if anyone had some advice for how to start it and maintain it. All serious and smart-ass advice will be heeded.

    Escudo Navy Deluxe

    Is this the mixture that is hard to come by and everybody snatches up when it does become available?  I read the post comparing the Dunhil and the Escudo and it made me wonder about that.  I thought Escudo was a hard to get blend but I've been seeing it around lately so I'm wondering if I'm...

    Downton Abbey

    Anybody watch? I just got season 1 and was wondering, since it is set in the early part of the last century, if there is any pipe smoking in the series so I can be on the look out for it.

    Qestion about Credit Cards

    I was at the Country Squire the other day and I asked JD why they didn't do more online sales. He said it was because the credit card companies won't take tobacco sellers because of not being able to determine someone's age. How do the other online sites get around this?

    Anyone ever hear of this pipe maker?

    The Country Squire says he's from Atlanta and they sell out of his pipes quickly. Some I really like especially the two on the left.

    If You Like The Pot Shape

    This is a Brad Pohlman Sandblasted Pot. IDK, it just speaks to me. What is it saying? "Buy me, buy me, buy me"

    Easy Software to Shrink Photos

    This might need to go under technology but I wanted to get it out to everyone. I had been trying to figure out how to shrink my photos so that when I posted them they would hog the entire screen. I've been looking at a lot of software but this is the one that I think is the easiest. It's...

    A shape I don't see often

    Hawkbill. I like it though and I forget that it's a shape because I just don't run in to it very often. Today I was perusing some Ser Jacopo pipes and apparently they are very MUCH into making this shape. There were at least 4 on the first page but one was not called a Hawbill even though it...

    Sitter Not Poker

    The confusion continues! The pipe below is a Mastro de Paja Brugo Rusticated Bent Billiard Sitter. Looks like a poker - kinda. In the description of the Poker that I posted a few days ago, the reason the poker was called that was because you could sit it down on the table while your dealt the...

    Nice Pipe

    I've been eyeing this pipe for a while but will not be buying it. Just thought I'd share it with you guys. It is a Becker sandblasted Dublin. I don't usually care for the Dublin shape but this one is so unusual that it has made me reconsider.

    My Local B&M - Jackson, MS

    I've lived in Mississippi for 14 years and I gotta say, it's a pretty nice place to live. I live in Jackson, the capital and largest city, so we have plenty of restaurants and stuff and life can be pretty normal. The food here is tremendous and the people are some of the nicest I've ever met...
