Hey every one, been a while since I've been on here, I apologise for my absence, there was good reason. I don't feel up to giving many details but briefly my Mrs left me taking my 2 daughters with her and is denying me access to my children, I didn't take it very well, I coped for a while but...

Been quiet for a while, didn't want to bring too much of my own drama crap to the site so I've tried to sit back and just be a voyeur for a spell. Some of you may remember I had surgery a while back, turns out I got to have further surgery, it came back and I have to have more tissue removed...

Hope you have a brilliant day, all the best. :)

Could have sworn I posted this here before but can't find it so I'm posting it now in case it proves to be of interest to any one here. I do rather enjoy many blends as they come I must say but I also very much enjoy a wander in the forbidden zone of Home Mixing, I say home mixing because it...

Oh how the fates can be so cruel, how often does one come across a birth year Dunhill AND in the shape you love the most from their lines. 1968 Dunhill Root Briar Have a looksee: http://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/estate/england/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=169161 Aint she a beauty, I am...

Just watched the first episode last night, any one else here watch it yet? SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED IT YET AND INTEND ON DOING SO THEN DON'T READ ANY MORE OF THIS What the hell was that rubbish all about, that was the most boring 63 minutes of TV viewing I have...

Been really going through the mill lately and haven't had the emotional strength to do much of anything, had a close call with a heart problem not so long ago and things have worsened on an epic scale on the home front. Both Walt & Rande have been in touch me and have urged me a little to pop...

I recently finished this for a chap across the pond, I have to say that I personally find the Bulldog a particularly challenging shape to make but as this was my 2nd attempt at it I fully expect to get better at it in time. Still haven't found an acceptable way of making the rings so for now I...

Hiya Folks, kinda been off the radar for a while, things had been getting pretty messed up with home life and I was struggling with each new day then out of the blue I got a letter. A letter informing me my Sister and last blood relative in the UK passed away on christmas eve, she took her own...

Ha, didn't think anyone here would know did ya, this one's especially for you Buddy Happy Birthday Rande. :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Wanted to post this here in case it was one of my BoB Bro's who did this wonderful thing for me. I just washed the outside windows downstairs and then had a quick poke around a site I frequent to see if there was anything of interest to download. Freakin AWESOME, I got a copy of David...

I am sooooooooooooooooo BORED not having anything to do with pipes at the present, so effing bored in fact I have gone back to digital artwork for fear of losing my mind with the deafening roar of silence in my creative existence. These are my first efforts at making Steampunk'ish graphics...

The colder weather is on its way which means fewer chances to be outside in the shed so I need to keep myself busy, I figured as I was on DA again to give me something to keep me occupied in the colder and darker months why not start a pipe related group there. If any of you are up for it and...

I don't know what's going on of late, I'm having the longest bout of bad luck and it is really starting to get just a little too much to keep putting up with. This evening I was sat here pondering my recent mishaps with tobacco and I looked over to the higgledy piggledy collection of jam jars...

BSP - NDP12 The block for this pipe was originally put aside as scrap as it has really bad sandpits on the surface of the block and I mean they were really bad, just seemed pointless even looking into this block at all so in the box of scraps it went, this was very frustrating of course as...

Hope you have a fantastic day my friend HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This pipe I made just for the hell of it, it is one of the many blocks I have where the drilling went too far off centre and it was going to go in the bin but I opted to go ahead and make the pipe as the grain is just so cool. I can't sell this pipe as the draught hole drilling is just that bit...

A few days back I got a message from Mike (MichaelM) saying he would pop a couple of US Aromatic tobacco samples in the post for me which I thought exceedingly kind of him. Today I got his 'couple' of samples, a couple indeed, there are 4 samples of Aromatic tobaccos and a very kind addition of...

This question I posed on another forum and I rather thought it might be something folk here might be able to shed some light on for me. I was recently'ish gifted some very enjoyable aromatics samples from our very own wonderful Walt and to be honest they have really got me seriously curious...

I had to set up a filter to block criteo.com re-targeting adverts because they were stopping the pages from loading here on BoB, only started happening today, any one else having a problem with page loads today, if so just create a filter in Adblock, wipes it out straight away.
