Hey! I'm late to the party on this as I have been "away" for a bit. That's great news! Congratulations. I hope you continue to feel better. Merry Christmas!

Hey BH, I'm glad to hear your daughter is well. We went through the same with my daughter - in -law in Florida. She works in a doctors office, someone in the office tested positive for C-19 so we thought for sure she had it....apparently not. As far as taking local pollen and honey for...

Hey corncobcon, I hope you're doing a bit better. I'm cheering for you up here north of the border. We do have to continue to be vigilant; hand washing, masks in public, social distancing for a while yet I'm afraid but that's not a lot of consolation when you've lost a friend. Stay healthy, stay...

That was an interesting and thought provoking post. As a beekeeper having had 100's of stings I've never thought if they had any affect on my palate. I know that as one who smokes a pipe only occasionally through the cooler months, (maybe three times a week) on average and probably not at all...

Happy New Year Brothers of Briar! This winter I have been unusually inactive...family stuff, some stress, some changes etc and I had gotten into a bit of a rut. I was pacing around this morning and Mrs Beeman told me I should get out for a walk. Being the obedient husband that I am  :roll:  I...

And it will only get worse here in Canada Blackhorse. New regs on labeling put emphasis on font size and color..or should say no color. The labels will al be generic and printed in gray scale. No more recognizing your favorite brand on the shelf by it's unique label. This means that pipe tobacco...

Overcast and -2C. Freezing rain expected warning on for later today and tomorrow. It's been a mild winter so far with little snow. Totally opposite from last year and somewhat unusual for here.

I'd buy some but I'm always leery of Canada customs and what they'll end up adding to the cost. I was badly burned on a shipment from C&D a long time back - cost me in taxes and duty as much as the tobacco itself. I'm not sure how a small amount privately purchased would fair. I suppose I could...

Welcome back S.T...a little late on he welcome but better late than never. The newest legislation on the way (I hear from a friend), or maybe it's already here is the subdued grayscale labeling requirements. That means some of the classic labels such as Squadron Leader and those from C&D will...

My son found this at an antique store near where he lives and gave it to me for Christmas. It's on a lazy susan too which is awesome! I can get 12 more pipes out of the box!

That is a lovely looking briar! I've been eyeing them but just can't justify the expense just now.

For those who found the P-lip a tough go, I had the same experience the first number of times. I left my one and only Peterson with a p-lip (a 20s) alone for a number of years using only my fishtail stems. I love the look of some of the system pipes and started to get more into them after...

Since replying to this post in September I became even more interested in discovering the Peterson world. I scored a beautiful, gnarly sandblasted 301 with a p-lip and have smoked it several times with none of the negative effects I had encountered before (burned roof of my mouth etc). For me, a...

Huffelpuff, we don't turn on the heat until ice forms in your drinking glass!

Nice picture Tim!! I'm happy to see it being used well!

Sounds like the right thing to do Peanubutter! Safe journeys and enjoy that warmth. I think I'll be turning on the furnace tonight for the first time this year.

You're welcome Timbo! I was reading this memory the other day and trying to recall which BoB I had sold it to. So glad it's got a good home! It would be awesome to see a photo of you with it now below Phillips...if you wanted.

When I got into pipe smoking and bought my first pipe, (at least my first as an adult that I didn't try to hide from my parents), I got it from Phillip Trypis whose name is known to most here I expect as a former carver for Brigham pipes back in their heyday. At this time Phillip's health was in...

I have 3 Petes, one with a P-lip. The P-lip pipe - a 20s shape was the first Pete I bought over 15 years ago and when I was somewhat enamored with the Peterson. I didn't like it as like someone else said, it burned the roof of my mouth. Every time I smoked it I felt I was getting a cold because...

I'm late in on this thread but what the heck... I retired 4 1/2 years ago now from a 28 year law enforcement carreer. It took a bit of adjustment, like the 20 minutes it took me to drive home. The only thing I miss is the morning cutting up in briefing before taking to the road - that was so...
