I watch several local facebook sale/auction groups for pipes(of course), lighters, pocket knives, ham radio items, tube broadcast radios, shortwave receivers, and whatever else i think i need. So the other day a listing for three pipes and a pipe stand came up with a starting bid of 3 dollars...

i know there’s a few ham radio operators here. Just wondering if anyone is going to the Huntsville Hamfest this weekend. I'm going Saturday to see what kind of junk I can find to drag home that absolutely don't need.

I purchased a kaywoodie supergrain 11 from idlefellow. Pipe was nicer in person than the pics and descriptions are shown. It was packaged very well. He mailed it as soon as I sent him my info. I received it 2 days later. The pip smokes great. He's a great fellow to work with.

I received a wonderful gift in the mail last Wednesday. I didn't open it until last night because I thought it was medical supplies. Imagine my surprise when I opened it up and found a tin of maltise falcon a stained MM cob. Thank you very much to the bob that sent this. This really brightened...

I was going through some tobacco jars and tins a few minutes ago and ran across some stuff that brought back memories of past friends and past pipe groups. There’s a tin that says compliments of TJs cellar. TJ helped me out a lot with advice on this lifestyle. He was a member at Knox and smokers...

I’ve been i‘ve been on the look out for a1971 Dunhill for a while. A straight or bent doesn’t really matter just a good smoker. The reason for the 1971 is because it my birth year. I have a dunny from 75 that smokes great the chamber is egg shape, finish worn, the white dot is missing and the...

I have an older HP 6530b laptop I've owned for around 5 or 6 years. I bought it pretty cheap and to get used to win7. I was trying to wean myself off of a 15-year-old dell XP desktop. I loved XP and 98se before that. I just didn’t like win7 that much. I only used it for ham radio stuff. I used...

happy birthday

My go-to pipeweed ignition system is a Zippo. I have carried one since I was a teen. If I see one at a yard sale, tag sale, or auction, I'll pick it up if it's not too expensive. So in the last bombing run, I send the victim a brushed antique silver Zippo. I thought it was the best-looking...

I received a tin of royal yacht last January in the bombing run. Then I picked up another tin in December. I've heard for years it was a love it or hate it blend. A dead mouse in a can is how a friend here described it to me. So I was hesitant ever to get any.  I popped open a tin a little bit...

Last May or June, I picked up a pilot VP with a medium nib. The more I used the pen, the more I liked the click mechanism and retractable nib. It has been my #1 pen to carry every day except to work. But over the last several months, it has gotten very scratchy and draggy feeling when writing...

The Arkansas Pen Show will be on March 13-15 this year in Little Rock. I'm taking that Friday off to make the 4-hour trip. I'm curious if anyone else is thinking about going? Anyone else in the area to possibly hang with and share a bowl? Does anyone of any tobacco shops in the area? My wife...

I bet it’s been almost nice around here with me being under the weather the last 3 or so days. Especially commenting all kinds of stupid stuff after I’ve a couple adult beverages :lol!: . I bet my insides are in shock since tea, water and sprite/7up is all I e drank si ce Friday. Makeup day is...

After reading a thread a couple weeks ago about ODF, I figured I should give it a go. I ordered 8 ozs since it was on sale and I’m glad I did. The aroma from the bag is awesome. For last week and a half that’s just about all I’ve smoked with the exception of a bowl of erinmore. Now I understand...

I purchased a bar of Duke cannon leaf and leather soap several months ago. It is a big bar of soap. It smells great. I thought it smelled more leathery than tobacco leaf. My wife loved the smell and actually used it too. She said it didn’t leave a dry soapy feel like some bar soaps do. But I’ll...

I am going to be in the Chattanooga area next weekend. We’ve had it planned for a couple months now. So I was wondering if anyone knows of any good pipe shops in that area? I’ve seen some online but seeing if anyone here recommends one over the other?

I thought I’d start a thread about books or audiobooks that you just couldn’t get into no matter how bad you really wanted to like them. I’ll start off with my recent audiobook I really tried to like. Bram Stokers Dracula. I listened to it for several hours and the more I listened to it the...

After seeing a post a week or so ago about a GBD pipe with a Perspex stem. I really liked it the look of it and have been on the lookout for one. So the other day I found one online and pulled the trigger on it. It came in today so I haven’t had the opportunity to fill the bowl yet, but...

I was going through my small pile of older pens and found this. It’s a old Parker Duofold. It has a Parker arrow nib. This one will probably be the first one I try to replace the sac on first. I bet it’s a lot simpler to repair than the snorkel I have.
