This is a pipe I like to insult yet is a great smoker.  Affectionately dubbed "Turd", it bears the name Invict(a) on the back.  (FWIW, I do smoke Best Brown in it.)  It has a wide chamber at the top, about 15/16" but is conical despite its fat bottom.  It has a stinger, but I'm not sure if it...

OK, since I broached the subject elsewhere, and it doesn't show up in my searches... I don't mean the plastic packets of ready rubbed. Not the same. I'm referring to the tinned version with a picture of an unfortunate gent in a pillory being assisted in puffing by a merciful chubby gent. I...

I just got a bunch-o-lighters cheap, and among them was a Maruman GL-67 pipe lighter. Nice old boy type, weighs a slug and a half and seems brand new. Being the tinkerer I am, I dis- and re-assembled it and it seems quite well made and servicable. That is, if I could only get butane in the...

I was gifted a Peterson meer by a wonderful person who works at estate sales (price tag was $3, but she got it half off!) Cool, huh? Well, I think the previous owner smoked pure perique in it. Nuff said. Anyway, I was going to try the salt/alcohol treatment, but I thought better of it until...

Admit it, we've been having a party below the radar. Who among us has not benefited by selling or buying? But a recent trend of offering items truly available in shops (yes, they DO sell sealed packaging) is bothering me because of its potential to poop the tub. My concern is that eBay is...

OK, I suppose this is the appropriate place to ask. I bought an old british push-in stem Kaywoodie pipe whose stem will not budge. My usual trick of putting it in the freezer and warming the shank by hand did nothing. It refuses all reasonable torque and pull and I'm nervous about getting...

I'm puffing a pipe marked "G Court", I'm assuming is Glen Court. Pipedia had an incomplete reference to him and Royal Court Pipes. Anybody here familiar? I've wondered about this pipe for years. Only pipe I ever dedicated to one blend. GLP Barbary Coast: it is wonderful in this pipe.

Forgive me if this topic is a repeat, it didn't come up in a search: http://www.pipephil.eu/oddpipes/index.html While the text is french, the photos are entertaining to all. I wasted an hour there. My favorite: the California-ready, anti shrill-nazi-at-the-next-table- piece...

I had hoped for something such as this board, and I finally stumbled on it. I have a companion who loves the smell of pipes and she pestered me into puffing regularly again. Over the years (since Nixon), I've accreted probably 10 pipes I really like and another dozen for occasional use and...
