I have been buying SWR at the native Indian smoke shop in town for a couple of years. Was getting the 14 oz tub for $29 or approx $2 per oz. Went up today after reading Jim's post about having several tubs of SWRA, thinking I would stock up and buy whatever they had. Still $29 but for a 7 oz...

Been looking for large bowled pipes and finally scored not one but two in the last week. Made an offer on a Lorenzo Old Vic giant on Ebay which was accepted. The last one I bought smokes great, hope this one will also. Then on Friday got an email from Tobacco Pipes that they had received a...

Wife and I are considering a significant change to our current living situation and I would appreciate input or insight from fellow BoBs who may have done the same. I just turned 75 and the wife is 72. I know a lot of you are around the same age or close. We have a nice house in Prescott and...

I mentioned this in another thread but thought it might be better posted on here. The Calabresi I scored off Ebay has a slight cant to the stem at the button end. Can you rebend an acrylic stem? If so, how, and what technique do you use? Appreciate any advice or helpful hints. Thanks.

I have been searching Ebay for another large pipe for my morning burley addiction but so far no luck. At least nothing I can afford. Found a nice new Don Carlos but it wasn't as large as my current dublin and was almost $400. A bit of a stretch for my budget. So, I've been looking at a Pete...

Perhaps you Pete aficionados, Swede/Sturdypapa?, can help me out. What is the largest bowl pipe Peterson makes. Google Search says the B42 but that is a system pipe. Trying to find specs on the Pub and the House Pipe. From what I have found so far it seems the House Pipe has a deeper bowl...

As I sit here calmly puffing away and pondering about life I am reminded of the quote by Albert Einstein. "I believe pipe smoking leads to consideration of a calm and objective judgement in all human affairs". I have to wonder, if we had more pipe smokers in Congress would we have more calm and...

Boy, you guys are no help. Went looking through my collection today for a pipe I hadn't smoked in a while and came to the realization I don't own a single author shape pipe. Also came to the realization I haven't bought a new pipe in over 6 months. So, PAD struck and I will soon get my new Sav...

Stopped up at the Indian tobacco store today to pick up a tub of SWR. Have been buying the 14 oz. tubs there for around $33 with no tax. Lady handed me a 7 oz. tub and said it was $32. I said don't you have the larger 14 oz. tub. No was the reply. I asked if she could check the price, which she...

The Butz Cboquin I was smoking yesterday tends to smoke a little hot at times. Read some reviews on Butz pipes and a couple folks said they sanded off the laquered finish which improved them significantly. Makes sense to me as it would open up the pores of the briar. It's a beautiful pipe, near...

Hi guys. I am looking for a multi disc cd player to replace my 20 year old Sony that has gone funky. Hard to find but I have probably 200+ cds and still prefer them over streaming. Looked at an Onkyo CD390, gets good reviews. Anyone familiar with them? Any suggestions/advice on alternatives? I...

Been reading a lot lately on Balkan blends. Penzance, Dunbar, Star of the East, And So To Bed, etc. Makes me want to do my own poll. So, to all you Balkan lovers out there. Please respond with your two most favorite/preferred Balkan blends. I can't justify buying them all, but I will pick out...

Been looking at horse trailers. Have a line on two that look promising. Both in the $7000 range. Problem is most sellers of used trailers want cash. Our BofA branch here in Prescott is closed temporarily so can't go into the branch to transact business. I am limited to $1000 a day withdrawal...

Our little girl, Gracie, was diagnosed with lymphoma 2 years ago Xmas. We did the chemo, which was hard on her, but after a couple of months she seemed to be getting better. She's been getting worse the last couple of months. The last few days she stopped eating unless we hand feed her. She...

Afternoon all. Okay, besides PAD and TAD I also suffer from HAD (horse acquisition disorder). Gentlemen, meet Kings Warrior Cochise, aka Cochise. A 15/1 hand buckskin, 3/4 quarter horse and 1/4 Tobiano Paint. Believe me, for what he cost, I could have bought a ton of pipes and tobacco, lol.

Morning guys. Our 2 shih thus, Molly and Gracie, are 15 and 14. Gracie, the younger one, was diagnosed with lymphoma 2 years ago. We did chemo for her and thankfully she is still with us. However, she is showing some effects from the chemo. Loss of hearing, some dementia, etc. A neighbor down...

Hi all, been using the cheapie value cleaners from p&C and they work fine 99% of the time. However I have a couple of bent stem pipes they just won't go through. Can anyone suggest a thinner cleaner that still works well? Thanks for any advice.

Okay, here's the deal. I mentioned in the smoking thread that I have a Peterson that is smaller than the rest and I can only get a 30 to 35 minute smoke from it. I tried Jiminks suggestion to smoke flakes in it. Tried 3 of the 4 flakes I have and only a little difference, added maybe 5/8 minutes...

Went yesterday and picked up the saddle I won from the Cowboy Poets Gathering raffle. Found out it is a custom built handmade saddle complete with matching saddle bags headstall and reigns. Valued at $4000. Big yee haw. Pics to come later.

Hi guys. Been looking for some larger pipes to enjoy my morning burley smokes. Have 4 now that will go well over an hour with the right tobacco. Saw a large Rattray Good Deal pipe on Ebay. New in the box, rusticated bent billiard with a .9" x 1.9" tobacco chamber for $90. Almost the same size as...
