    Colored pipes

    I am also a fan of the colored pipes. I used to have a mustard yellow dr grabow in an unusual shape. I loved that pipe. I didn't realize how much I liked it until it was gone. If I saw one like it again I would snatch it up. I also passed one up in orange, unsmoked in an original box one...

    Good Score on a Savinell from an Antique Store

    Wow nice score! I also watch antique stores for pipes but have yet to find a decent pipe or even a fair price on anything. But I continue to look.

    Anyone self-conscious public pipe smoker?

    I personally don't care what others think. Although I won't smoke in areas with other people in close proximity either. That being said I am 42 years old and just got back into smoking a pipe. I was in my 20s the last time I smoked a pipe, so I think many people assumed it wasn't tobacco...

    OUCH......!!!!!

    I would definitely have that repaired. I cannot afford a dunhill but aside from what it is, the memories made with that pipe must be even more important than the value of the pipe. Even if the repair is a bit imperfect it will just be one more memory with it.

    Pray with me brothers!

    Let's think positively. Maybe she had to go to the bank before her trip because she plans to stop and buy you a wonderful pipe with a tin of your favorite tobacco. For holding down the fort when she is off doing whatever it is her group plans on doing...probably not though good luck!

    Monitoring blood pressure?

    I just use one I bought at Walmart. It seems to be accurate as I have compared my results to what I get at the Dr or the units at the drugstores

    Do any of you still listen to a radio? (Let me know if you don't know what a radio is. :) )

    I listen in my car and work truck. But when I work I usually use my phone as a music player or listen to podcasts.

    Hope i like this one

    In all fairness I got a really good price that's why I got so many. Plus I figured with such a popular blend if I dislike it I could trade it off fairly easily.

    Hope i like this one

    I just ordered a tobacco I have not had. I only smoke a bowl a day so a tin lasts quite a while as I change my tobacco most days. I really liked the sound of plum pudding special reserve and I hope it lives up to my expectations as I have 4 4 oz tins coming in. I can't even wrap my head...

Like peterson system pipes for instance and savanelli etc. I have a couple that were more expensive but I am just trying to figure our if there are brands I may be overlooking due to inexperience. I have several petersons including a...

    Help picking a pipe

    I had a few cobs they are ok but I swear I can taste them. Plus I am a wood guy. (I have done wood floors for the last 25 years) so I appreciate the beauty of having a hunk of wood in my hand.

    What blends to give someone who wants to try Pipe Smoking?

    I know for me personally when I started. I was in a similar boat. (Cigar smoker but never cigs.) Lots of people were suggesting aromatics and burleys and lighter blends. I almost have up until I found a tin wiyh the artwork was a must have for me. More importantly after buying that tin the...

    Tobacco value

    Is there a place to find the value of older tobacco. I a few tins from 2008-2011 that I know I'll likely never smoke. And a tub that I know has some value but I have no idea what the value is. At some point I may trade it off but if that is ever to happen I would like to make sure both parties...
