    JackKnife Plug Arrives

    I received my order of Jackknife today, four tins. I've been looking forward to this new blend for quite some time, only problem is that if I open one tin I'll only have three left, oh well God hates a coward...

    GL Pease Fillmore 2007

    Fillmore, one of my favorites. I just opened this 07 tin this afternoon, the top and bottom of the tin was bulging out, so much so I was afraid the tin would burst open on its own. After opening I noticed that all the tobacco was covered with crystals, a very good sign. I plan on smoking a bowl...

    Hope in Syracuse

    I talked to Mike at Rocky's today and he told me that they will be carrying tobacco from C&D, GL Pease, Ashton, Dunhill, McClelland and Uhle's. This should begin sometime in September, so give him a call and tell him what your looking for. If this comes through it will be great to have fine...

    A few new Tampers

    I've been spending the last few evenings carving these pipe tampers. They're very rustic but functional and if you lose one easy to replace.

    Promising development in Syracuse NY

    I stopped in at Rocky's news today, a local cigar shop, to see what they had in the way of pipe tobacco. Its usually your run of the mill bulk no name fair, I was just getting ready to leave when the owner Mike Glynn asked me "what are you looking for", I replied "good pipe tobacco". He then...

    I know its a blast but...

    What a wonderful pipe from Rad Davis! In my opinion a blast that suits the shape and adds to the overall appeal of the pipe, such detail and finesse all at the same time.

    Memorial Day 2010

    We owe our fallen brothers a great debt of gratitude for their ultimate sacrifice. I will raise a bowl in their honor today. Always remember that freedom is not free..... <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bgu777Kwn9k" allowscriptaccess="always"...

    And now for something a little different

    Another amazingly interesting pipe from Chicago carver Alex Florov. Kind of reminds me of an interpretation of Bo Nordh's Ramses. No its not mine but I sure wish it was.

    Amazing Pipe!

    I stumbled across a pipe carver on the Quality Briar website named Maigurs Knets, while his pipes may not be every ones cup of tea I was rendered speechless. The materials are briar, vulcanite, and antler.

    New Tamper Design

    I've been working on a new tamper design, just thought I'd share and see what the brothers think, materials are acrylic with a polished aluminum base and one is made completely of aluminum. The weight and balance of this last batch seems perfect, the tampers I made out of solid brass were a tad...

    Blast

    Perhaps their should be a forum for the "perfect blast", I was looking at some pipes carved by Todd Johnson and this blasted Volcano just grabbed me, and its not even finished. Its just amazing what Todd can do with a hunk of wood and some rubber. I truly believe we are in the Golden era of...

    Close call indeed (The sky is falling)

    I was going through my Tobacco cellar today taking inventory when I came upon my 2 oldest tins, GL Pease Haddo's Delight dated February 2005. On closer inspection I noticed 2 tiny spots on the bottom of one tin, sure enough rust! I decided to open the tin, I was saving these tins but I didn't...

    New Castello vs Estate

    I have several older estate Castello's, all very nice pipes and wonderful smokers. I've never had the pleasure of a new Castello and was wondering if the new pipes measure up?
