What du you think about these tampers? Made of Zebu Horn, they´re exceptionally light and remarkably smooth, that means more or less no adhesion - they remain practically clean. Nils Thomsen Zebu Horn Tamper Kind regards Thilo

Dear brothers of briar, I wouldn´t have thought, that this little inquiry would be that difficult, but so far it turned out to be quite hard to find out something about the following pipe. photography by Michiel Hendryckx 2010 Does anyone of you know who exactly has been fabricating that...

…until now, is this Punto Oro wich has been a gift, and therefor I am of course completely non-critical. What do you think about it?

__________________ I´d like to show you (another) one of my favourites. I own it for about four months now and it´s one of the pipes that even I can smoke without a single problem. I´m using it to enjoy Escudo if I can get some, or Dunhill Navy Rolls if I can´t. And finally me...

This was my first Charatan (OK - there´s only one more until now…). Even though the bowl is almost filigree, it smokes very well - the briar seems to be exeptionally hard. The thin bit makes it comfortable, it´s small but it´s dedicated to enjoy the perfect dose of Night Cap to me.

Even though women dont´ seem to be a major audience here at BoB - in my opinion a pipe can be an incredibly elegant accessory and where I live, it seems to get popular. Anytime I go out on a vernissage (for example) there are pipe smoking women here and there. These are some of the pipes my...

Dear brothers, I just keep on showing some pipes I like. This one´s a Noske again, and if I could take five pipes with me onto a desert island, this would be on of them. The sandblasting on Noskes pipes is usually done by Tom Eltang. I hope you´ll enjoy it. Noske Tanshell; 5,5" long...

Dear brothers of briar, I got this one for about eight months now, and wasn´t smoking it for nearly two months until it fell into my hand again last week. Why am I telling you this? Well, This pipe has gotten observably brighter during these two months. This has been a pleasant surprise, cause...

I feel it would be fair to show some of the Nils Thomsen pipes, that haven´t been cooked. What do you think? Small Billard; 5,7" long; 1,7" high, Ø 0,7"; 0,9 ounces; Silver; Vulcanite Freehand Bent; 5,9" long; 1,8" high, Ø 0,8"; 1,2 ounces; Berlin Cumberland; Vulcanite Freehand...

Hello brothers, first of all, I don´t take the following too serious and neither does the creator of that pipe, but I thought it would be interesting to hear what you think about it. It all began when I found an agile discussion about that pipe in a German pipe and tobacco board. Most of the...

This Dunhill 4103 Cumberland isn´t perhaps really outstanding to those of you, who are more experienced pipe smokers than me, but I have been searching for quite a while before I found this one recently. The former owner bought it in 1997 and left it unsmoked - changing this has truly been a...

This is one of my favourite Smokers. Unless it´s a smaller pipe (only 28 grams), it stays cool and has a very nice flavour. It was my first Noske-Pipe, a surprise to me at the time. Nontheless Noske always refused to apply any gradings to his pipes, some know-it-all-pipe-trader...

Dear Brothers of Briar, after I searched the Internet for a while to find a place where civilized people congregate to talk about pipes an tobacco, I´m very happy that I have found this. My name is Thilo, I´m based in Berlin, Germany and after I tried pipe-smoking as a young man (20 years...
