http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Icarus/ I'm a big fan of their volcano shape. I'm guessing they want to be "one better" than Savinelli based on price-point and designs (?). But curious to know if they ARE "one better", y'know? Xoxo, Doody

International Pipe Smoking Day is coming up fast: Friday February 20th! 14 days away. Just two short weeks from today. Great IPSD pdf Reply and share! So what are you going to light up? I think I'm going to enjoy my birth-year Dunhill with ET Penzance. Can't see how I could celebrate any more...

that is all. xoxo, doody :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :cheers: :mrgreen:

I'm in town for a bit over two weeks for work. Would love to catch a smoke or three with some brothers if that might work out. Home and office are near St. Patricks on Lower Glanmire - near the train station. LMK! Xoxo, Doody PS: Lock up your daughters AND your silverware! :lol:

My mother's father used to smoke a pipe all the time. He passed in 1976 when I was about 10 years old. I remember following him around the house and yard when he was doing chores, and he always had a pipe in his mouth. Long after he passed, I asked my grandmother if she still had his old pipes...

Greetings brothers. I'm going to be in Dublin Ireland for two weeks on business. Other than the Peterson factory, I'm wondering if there are any particular pipe-related things I should check out while in town. Heck - any suggestions on anything interesting in Dublin are actually appreciated...

so over the last couple months, MB HH VS has become my smoke of choice - with a vengeance. i just ordered up bulk pound, and i expect to cellar it in a few chunks. i know it's a fairly recent release, but does anybody have any "early returns" on the win (or lack thereof) of cellaring HHVS or...

okay. that's enough! doody.

Ladies & Germs: If you haven't tried MacBaren's HH Vintage Syrian yet, you should make an effort to do so, IMHO. I fell in love with HH Old Dark Fired and as a result, I grabbed a tin of HH VS out of pure curiosity at a random shop. I enjoyed the first couple smokes of it, but now that I'm...

So I've got a dozen or so pipes at this point. The vast majority have bowls that are, well, standard old pipe bowls more or less. They look and feel like someone took a big bit on a drill press and drilled into the wood/meer (I appreciate it's not necessarily done that way). Some are deeper than...

Been months since I had a bowl of Penzance. Damn! Happy Doody! :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: Doody.

hey brothers! i'm going to be in austin next week for SXSW. wondering if there are any great pipe places i should be sure not to miss and/or any pipe happenings going on. any info appreciated! doody :sunny:

Doody is NOT happy about it! :x :x :x :x :x Didn't get out of the teens today in Taxachusetts. With windchill, it'll be below zero tonight. Tomorrow night I'm off to Euroland for a week on biz - temps forecasted to be in the mid to high 50s, so I'm loading up for bear to catch up for...

...concerned it may have scarred him!

I'm heading out to Las Vegas tomorrow for the week for CES. Any natives or frequent visitors care to share any particular spots I should be sure to hit while there? Anything from great B&Ms to unique baccy blenders to just fine spots to catch a bowl with a view and/or a drink? TIA! Doody

I was cleaning up my cellar a bit yesterday in between holiday festivities (needed a break from the insanity!). Among other things, I was jarring up some open tins I had had sitting about. One of them was a tin of Esoterica's Pembroke. I cracked it probably 4 or 5 months ago and had smoked a...

I have to be in France at the end of January on business. Wondering if anybody knows of any interesting tobacconists or other pipe-related places I should hit while there. I will probably not have a car. TIA! Doody

....you need to try LJ Peretti's "Blend #500" and Watch City Cigar's "Churchwarden". http://www.ljperetti.com/ http://www.watchcitycigar.com/ i know a lot of folks swear by Peretti's "Cuban Mixture", but it's WAY too mild for my tastes. if i'm gonna smoke a baccy with cigar leaf then DAMMIT i...

I've been wanting to get myself a birth-year pipe. The default behavior for this appears to be to pick up a Dunhill, but I'm not wedded to that brand requirement at all. I thought a Castello might be a great idea, but it looks like Scotti didn't start dating them until the late 80s at their...

why on earth do some pipe makers/manufacturers coat the new bowl interiors? is there ANY actual or argued benefit for this? i find the stuff annoying and i have a tough time believing it's anything but cosmetic. could a brother educate a brother? doody.
