Well, folks, here I am! I disappeared for quite a while there, eh? Long story short, here is the timeline: Younger sister in law moves in with us. Family drama and major financial drain. Some personal difficulties. She finally gets a job and we help her find a place to move to. She gets fired...

It has been an intense few months. Every time I think things are about to calm down they get even crazier. Suffice it to say that after a bad bout of bronchitis, money issues, family issues and having my incredibly stubborn tooth surgically extracted I think it can't get much busier and I hope...

I've had a few people ask me to take better pictures of the lovely haul I got so I found some time for it last night. This includes some lovely new things that arrived yesterday. Completely anonymous and completely lovely. The lovely little nosewarmer. It's a really nice smoke and actually...

Just found this. A German Royal Wedding Meershaum. http://www.sciencemuseum.org.uk/broughttolife/objects/display.aspx?id=5405

So, someone recently liked a picture from back at my birthday party and I realised it's actually quite a cool picture. To explain, I'm a bit old fashioned and definitely believe that we can look to past generations for tutorials in style, class and manner. So all that in, I decided that my...

So my wife was looking for a few things for a dance workshop she's going to and we decided to hit a few of the local charity shops. While I was off looking at a victorian-esque mirror with a large safari elephant image attached to it she called over and said 'This is what you need.' She had...

So, a friend of a friend is on an archaeological did and they came up with these two tins. They're having trouble dating them and my friend, who knows I am a pipe smoker, asked if I could help. Now, the Half and Half could be from a wider period than they'd really like. The Raleigh piqued my...

I had a very small collection of awesome pipes when I moved to America. Unfortunately, they all got badly damaged when I moved over here. (Suitcase was badly handled.) I started rebuilding my collection slowly and now have double the pipes I had. I've also decided to refine my collection a...

So, I've been a briar and cob man as far as most of my pipes are concerned. I used to have a lovely meerschaum when I was a teenager and liked it a lot until it got broken. I bought a new meerschaum for a steal at a low end tobacco and booze store last week. It was mid quality meer, not the...

Now, I know I'm not the only Doctor Who fan on the forum. (And since I know there are other folk on here who grew up in the UK, I'm guessing there are a few more.) At any rate, I came across this picture today which just tickled me.

So, I got this cheap little pipe on ebay a while ago. It wasn't from one of the sellers who I usually buy from, know and trust. But I just saw the pipe and fell in love with it. It was wonderfully cleaned other than the stem being more stained than described. They even mentioned that it had been...

So I got a pretty good deal on a Rustica the same as this one a couple of weeks ago on Ebay. I was excited since I'd heard good things about them and loved the look of the pipe. However, I've found that it gurgles A LOT. Windy outdoors or safe indoors... Medium Moise or Super Dry tobacco. I...

My wife surprised me with a beautiful old Pipe Stand and Humidor. It even has room for one more pipe! (I've been eyeing one on ebay for when I have the funds.)

I've been a pipe smoker for about 13 years, but I just found the forum today and couldn't be more thrilled. This is just a brief introduction before I begin stalking posts and drooling over other people's pipe collections.
