I'm sure by now that most of you have grown tired of my incessant posts and pics about my lil hidey-hole in the attic. So for those of you that have grown weary, I apologize. But, as I have commented in the past, I have been on the lookout for some tables to complete the room. One for my 35...

Got a call this after noon that my buddy was down with the flu.  Was obviously sorry to hear it but then I was informed that he would not be hosting this evenings poker game, as a result, and was asked if I could have it at my place. This is obviously not the first time I"ve had the boys over...

As some of you here know, I've been sprucing up the mancave here lately... http://brothersofbriar.forumotion.com/t35397-mancave-get-s-a-make-over-pic-heavy One of the things that remained to do was to pick up a couple of leather or pleather chairs, preferably wingbacks. Well, as luck would...

Since getting back into pipes and tobacco, my stable has increased as well as my modest cellar. While looking at different pipe racks, cabinets, shelves etc... I just couldn't get past the prices of some of these. Some of them were a few hundred dollars up to thousands. While perusing...

Post by bonanzadriver on a few seconds ago As some of you may very well know, Photobucket changed their terms of service. Photobucket is one of many sites that allowed you to host your photos on their site and then share them with 3rd party sites. In other words.  All of the photo's I've...

As the title implies, this thread is about Penzance. 18+ year old Penzance to be exact. You all may remember that back in April my son Nick and I went to the TAPS pipe show in Raleigh. While there one of the things I picked up was a pristine tin of Penzance. The older gentleman selling it knew...

As some of you all here know, although I started smoking pipes back in 1982, I only really got into them this past October. Since then my Briar Stable and my Tobacco Cellar have both experienced exponential growth. (we won't talk about my available discretionary income ??? ) What you may not...

Ok, ok, it is raining and I am smokin my briars, but I am sittin up in the mancave. 8-) As I've mentioned here before, my mancave started out as my home office. It is located in the attic space above the media room and master suite addition we built onto our house about 10 years ago. While we...

Hello all, I recently acquired 29 jars of C.B. Perkins Tobacco... http://brothersofbriar.forumotion.com/t34802-hello-my-name-is-dino-i-have-tad As my other post indicates, my initial reason for buying these was to get the jars. But I've learned that all but 3 or 4 of the jars are over 1/2...

Here's wishing JimInks a happy National Cartoonists Day!

I've been eyballin the Savanelli Author 320 KS for some while now. Last week I found a decent looking one that had a O.B.O. on it. After a few offers and counter-offers we settled on what I thought was an acceptable price. Well, it just arrived in the mail today at the office. Couldn't wait to...

As I've mentioned on other sites, and possibly here, although I've been smoking a pipe off and on since 1982 I recently got into piping in a pretty big way. Voracious for knowledge on restoring/refurbing pipes, tobacco blends & techniques, I've read everything I can get on the matters. As many...

Being a noob here and recently getting back into piping, I haven't had an opportunity to really get to know many folks out there in the Briar Brotherhood. As some of you may recall, my son Nick and I had an opportunity to attend the TAPS 20th Annual Pipe & Tobacco Expo weekend before last...

Hi all, I'm a somewhat new pipe smoker. Though I've had a pipe or two over the last 35 years, I've been mostly a Cigar & Scotch guy. That all changed back in Oct of 16 when I decided to do my research and find out what pipes I liked and what tobacco's. So, about 6 months, 30+ pipes and as...
