Bought my first one, a Black lacquer w/18k M nib in 1995 and thought I'd get a Sterling Silver Cisele w/18k F nib in 1998. Both have been good writing pens with even ink flow and using the included converter hold a sufficient amount of ink. As with most modern Parker nibs they are somewhat stiff...

Having used my Red/Black Sailor 1911 standard sized fountain pen w/ 14k Music nib for awhile, and falling in love with this style of nib, I decided i wanted another Sailor! I'm a big lover of piston filler pens as well as redish color pens I found a Burgandy Sailor Realo model of the 1911 series...

It's been bandy'd about the web that Presbyterian has been pulled off the US market. I checked with SP and this is what they responded with: Hi Michael, Thank you for writing to us. Presbyterian Mixture has not been pulled from the US Market. The manufacturer of Presbyterian over the past...

This is one of the most concise histories of Charatan I've read. https://www.alpascia.com/moments/d/Charatan-Pipes-i28211.html

Was going thru a box of stuff that I'd stashed away years ago and found my trusty old Randall 6 " #3 Hunter I got back around '69. Carried and used it all thru 'Nam and for several years after when I went hunting. In the box was the reciept for what I paid back then, $125.00! Found their...

After almost 50 years of pipe smoking I realized I've become a patina pipe person. All my pipes have taken on the Patina of well use as opposed to the shiney "new" appearance they all had when I bought them. The most appearance care they get is the usual "nose oil" rub down while I smoke them...

I propose that we have an official day of mourning for two now former giants in the 'baccy world, Dunhill and McClelland's this coming Friday, 3/9/'18. On this day, we ALL smoke ONLY blends produced by these two giants? Not just a bowl or two,unless that's all you smoke in a day, but EVERY bowl...

Having been a 759 smoker for 20 plus years till it disappeared I moved to the white label and it was just OK, but nowhere near the depth as 759. Stopped smoking it and moved on. Awhile back I tried some of the "new" white label and ended up throwing away the rest of the tin after just a few...

Being retired I had some time on my hands today and laid out ALL 106 pipes I have counted the finishes on them. Seems I prefer blasted ( NOT rusticated! ) finishes to smooth with 64 of my pipes being Blasted and the rest Smooth. Just curious, what's your fave? :twisted:

All you fols have been throwing around the McClelland is closing rumor are right I thin!! I just got 6 tins of their va's and opened them to jar them up and there was NO evidence of catsup in ANY of them !! They must have sold out and somebody else is blending their 'baccy and is not using McC's...

Anyone have any ideas about a Tactical Pipe that one can buy for $19.95 shipping? One that I can run over with my Hummvee, put on fire, freeze it , and if I order it today I get a SECOND one FREE !! I figure if they sell all the "TACTICAL" things on TV surely there is a "TACTICAL PIPE" ...

Was in a closet in a back bedroom and found a shoe box on the top shelf. Pulled it down to see what shoes were in it and WOW ! wasn't shoes but 10 pipes and three un-opened tins of 'baccy.!! The three tins were 50g Royal Yacht I'd bought back in 2000! And the pipes were 5 Charatan Specials, 1...
