I was in Paris a few months ago, and can vouch for A La Civette. They had a good, reasonably-priced selection of pipes. I snagged a natural finish Rattray author for around $100 US. Besides, it was just cool to be in a tobacconist that was around since 1753!

Sad news, indeed. I just put on "Mysterious Semblance At The Strand Of Nightmares".

As I thought would happen, you guys stepped up to the plate with great advice. I pass on some of the web sites to my friend. Much thanks for the help.

Hello everyone. I have been away from the board for a long time (long story), and it feels good to be back. I have a question about the pipe selling business, and this seems to be the place to ask it- does anyone use an escrow-like service when they buy or sell pipes? By escrow, I mean a third...

I have an Aldo Velani canadian. It was the first pipe I ever owned. It always gives a good smoke. I would get another, but most of their shapes are too avant-garde for me.

Evining, all. Coniston Cut Plug in a L'Antra full bent apple here. Sneaking in a smoke between the rainstorms in San Freancisco.

Another vote here for Jirsas. I own one- bought in Prague, in fact. It's a half-bent rustiicated apple, and it's always smoked great. Even though it is made for a 9mm filter, I smoke it without one, and it has never bothered me. I would recommend a Jirsa to anyone.

I have a Rattray poker that was like that. I couldn't get a good smoke out of it for a year. It is finally beginning to behave. Then there is that Stanwell HCA that still hasn't broken in after over three years....

Hello all, McClelland 22 from 1999 in an IlCeppo bent billiard. McBaren Burley in an Aldo Vellani canadian up next. Cold here in San Fran tonjght.

GLP Westminster in a Spanu olivewood billard. Nice night in the Bay Area.

If a very infrequent poster may offer a recommendation, McBaren London Burley Blend has become my go to tobacco. Yeah, I know McBaren bites some people like crazy (I can't smoke Va #1) but i love thisd blend.

MacBaren Burley in a new Il Ceppo. First pipe I ever had that needed no breaking in.

Evenin' all. MacBaren Burley London Blend in a small CAO meer. Upper 50's here on the left coast. Hope everyone has a good night.

I've had the pleasure of meeting Marty on several occasions, including at his store. Selling is hard enough to do, but to do it with warmth, humor and absolute integrity, well that takes a mensch. As an example, he saw a total newbie (me) come in the shop, could have sold me a 2x4 with a hole...

Greetings, I have been smoking pipes for about. 7 years. I have lurked on this board for a few months. What a great group! Thoughful, funny and civilized; you sure this is a web site? I live in the smoker's paradise of San Francisco, aka the smoke nazi wind tunnel. There are still some places...
