    Identifying this pipe rack

    I didn't like it either :x Then again, I don't know art. The more I fill it up with nice pipes, the more it just "fits" my room. Maybe Savenelli figured it out after a small production run, and quit making them :D

    Standing humidor?

    Looks like your classic "smoking stand". Seen a lot with a dimple in on the top to keep your ashtray in place. Also usually lined with tin or copper. Keep it next to the large recliner so your dog can bring you your slippers while you enjoy a pipe :D Always assumed they were for pipes or...

    Identifying this pipe rack

    So, I've been cleaning up my pipe stuffs on break here, and have always wondered about a rack I have. Since I have the time to post it up, I was wondering if anyone else has seen one of these. From what I know, it's a Savinelli 6 pipe stand, made out of porcelain or some kind of fired china. I...

    Christmas came early this year - Handmade Pipe Rack

    Very nice indeed! Always nice to receive a family made pipe of anything, but a pipe stand. Well that just rocks!

    Greetings from WI!

    I'm originally from Canada, so the weather is just like I'm used to :) I used to go to Clifford's once a month as part of the Vintners association. Kids however have slowed my wine making days, and caused me to enjoy more pipe tobacco. LakeFront Brewery has been my fish fry place of choice...

    Best Pipe Repair / Refurb?

    I have had a few lose stems that were solved from smoking. My understanding is they simply dried out, and the act of smoking allowed them to swell just a little. You can take a q-tip, and where the stem beats the shank, wet that inside area just a little. Let the two pieces sit apart for a few...

    Uhles Pipe Shop, Milwaukee WI...anyone have an opinion?

    They also have a Christmas blend every year. Kind of a tradition in my house. This year is awesome! A little something new every year.

    I'm Done with shaving cream!

    There's some wonderful stuff out there I've found over the last year playing with old razors. Even picked up some blends flavored as "whiskey" and "Tobacco". Not getting me back to a 4,5,6 or 88 blade razor! I have a sheet going of blades and soaps if your looking for some personally...

    Uhles Pipe Shop, Milwaukee WI...anyone have an opinion?

    My favorite shop. That might be because they are so close. But it's probably due to the fact the owners and operators are such fantastic people. I have my own "mini Uhles" at home when I can't get there, complete with menu.

    My Small cellar

    Its a hand made turned by my dad made for me when I was about 8. He's a cabinet maker / woodworker of 40+ years. I keep odds and ends in there. Behind me in the room at present are about 200 pipes and 20 racks being cataloged. This is a shot of the "clean area"

    My Small cellar

    Strange. Reloaded the photos. Fine on my end. I've been getting strange messages on the connection since I got home. A lot of "Can't find the server at www.brothersofbriar.com."

    My Small cellar

    Small house, and a love of antiques has resulted in this. a 1923 (ish) icebox / fridge that I converted into a pipe cellar. The small closed door is lines with cedar, and is waiting for custom drawers to house cigars (my winter project). I estimate 25 lbs of pipe smoke in there. After having...

    Greetings from WI!

    Not sure the rules on self promoting. I have a website with several restored pipes on it. I'm always bad with the before and afters, but now that I'm on here, I may need to keep a better photo log.
