    Past, Present, or Future?

    Two days ago, tomorrow looked a lot like yesterday.

    Only Three Pipes

    I've asked this same question before with tobacco, but I'd like to learn more about the affinity you fellas hold for your pipes, as everybody's taste is different. Here's the scenario that forms my question: You're taking a trip, flying out for a day to a little island and you bring your...

    History of Pipes Magazine?

    However the dominoes fell, the gist of the tale is that you gents, by participating, have provided @admin with world-class eats for over a decade. I'm sure his tummy (as well as his Instagram) thanks you profusely.

    Las Vegas Intl Pipe Show 2024!

    Sounds like an apt moment for a GoFundMe! If that's still a thing.

    How Much is Too Much?

    You'll take it in spells. Totally normal to go all-out when you're new at something.

    @crashthegrey the powers that be have swooped in and saved me from my swipe errors. Your prices are no longer aggressively "adorable." 😇

    What a great piece! Dignified and distinguished. It looks like it fought in 'Nam.

    My apologies to all (and especially @crashthegrey) for my not having proofed my post. Swipe fucked up my ability to properly English but I've requested an edit. Post was edited at at 1:02:03 PM PT on Friday, May 10, 2024

    My Plum Pudding Cigar Review

    In its defense, I exaggerated for effect and due to the widespread recognition of those names. For accuracy's sake I'd have specified Laura Lynn buns and mayo, but only folks in driving distance of an Ingles would catch my drift.

    Coatings on Chinese Pipes

    You can go as high as you want, but anything above 400 is considered polishing. You can go up to 2000 if you want, and I have done it myself but it's a tad excessive. However, if you want to buy one of those sets off Amazon that just comes with a sheet or two of each, you could delve into the 4...

    Coatings on Chinese Pipes

    And no matter what wood it is, if you sand back up to 600 in steps after you sand at 220, you can still slap a coat of Danish oil on it and have a fine looking pipe.

    Coatings on Chinese Pipes

    As a new pipe maker, I'm very familiar with this concern. I finished my first dozen pipes or so with nothing but food grade Danish oil because I didn't want to risk contaminants bleeding through. At this past Vegas show, I was fortunate enough to pick several more experienced brains than mine...

    Nathan "CrashTheGrey" Davis on Radio Show of May 7, 2024

    [Edit by proxy] Another fantastic interview! I had the pleasure of meeting Nathan at the Las Vegas show and having a conversation with him and a few other guys about billiards, the history of the shape, and its appeal. It was a conversation that drastically influenced how I've seen both pipe...

    Sun bear 2024

    From what I understand, honey harvest season happens in late summer. Jeremy is quite particular (as he should be) in using high quality, fresh honey, so it will likely always be packaged just as summer is headed out.

    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    I just tried (and reviewed) the SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve Robusto yesterday, so today felt like a good day to crack a tin of the good stuff. Barrel Aged version, smoked in my signature pipe.
