Haven't been on BoB for a bit. Just wanted to say, "Hey!"

Father the Flame film This is just a small preview of a new documentary a group of young people in Michigan are making about pipes, pipe making, and slowing down and enjoying life, called "Father the Flame". I don't know about you, but just the little bit I saw of this film made me want to sit...

Okay, At the risk of exposing a newfound, estate pipe secret for myself, I have to share my experience with Mattia76 and Vikingclubpipes.com Firstly, Nathan is a stand up guy who sells nice, clean estate pipes that are very reasonably priced. I ordered this vintage Svendborg Baltic Bark Pot...

Hey Everyone, Just wanted to announce the first official meeting of my new pipe making club, the Pipe Maker's Guild, in Los Angeles (at my workshop), on Saturday, May 12th, 2012. Last year, I had one unofficial meeting, with a few pipe forum buddies and, we had such a great time, that I decided...

Hey guys, I have a couple of vintage NOS Pierre Cardin Lighters (I collect Pierre Cardin Tobacciana), neither of which work, even though they're (technically) new. They both immediately leak butane as soon as you try to fill it. I had a chance to take the cover off one and it looks like...

Been meaning to put this up for awhile: here's my newest acquisition, a Brebbia "1960" bent billiard that I got from Smoking Pipes as a birthday gift to myself for my 44th, this past June. Super light and smokes like a dream. I will definitely be getting another Brebbia. (maybe an 8311?)

Hey guys, I just wanted to put this out there. I have a small woodworking shop in L.A. (with a bunch of tools) and I was wondering if there are any pipe makers, or people interested in pipe making, in the So Cal area that would like to get together (in my shop) and make some pipes (or, at least...

Just found out I'm going to San Francisco on business this weekend. Any good tobacco shop(s) in San Francisco I should visit? If so, do you recommend a good house blend of theirs. I like trying out a good house blend whenever I travel. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks.

I was up in Santa Barbara, CA a couple months ago and bought a few ounces of a house blend called "Sanctuary" (which I was told was a McClelland blend) and man, do I love this stuff! Has anyone else ever tried this stuff? and do you know what the McCllelland blend is?

Hey guys, Still new here and still getting know everybody but just wanted to share some pipe making "experiments" I've done so far. These are my first two pipes I made last year and they are made from Walnut wood; the stems are made from hard rock maple. Just kind of experimented with these...

Hey guys (and gals?), I'm a newbie here (been smoking about a year now) and just wanted to introduce myself and post some of my pipe pics as a way of sharing what's in the "cabinet" (so to speak--my pipe cabinet is actually a couple of drawers in an old army field desk--will have to post some...

Hi to all, Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a furniture maker and aspiring pipe maker. I got into pipes and pipe smoking about a year ago (after being a non-smoker for all of my life). I figured I was old enough (43) that I should have at least one vise that could possibly kill me (and...
