Displaying Your Tins
You know how tins usually end up in a stack or balanced on an uneven edge? I had this space on the back wall of the closet where I keep my pipe and tobacco accessories, and thought it would be a good place to keep my active tins. I got this $5 magnetic tool bar from Harbor Freight, ran a little...- fontbandit

The Pipe Pipe
That's an interesting idea! It might be tricky to get the sleeves to stay on the clip ends with all the sliding around that happens on the stummel side. It's pretty easy to slide them in and out with the zips. You turn the pipe so the bowl faces you and slide it out. And back in the same way...- fontbandit

Update nearly one year later: Some of the rubber fishing pole clips were starting to fatigue and lose their grip on both the curtain rod and the pipe shanks. The warmer summer weather made the rubber contract, and when the cooler fall weather caused them to expand, they'd lost some of their...- fontbandit

Who made this pipe?
Thank you, @Ahi Ka . I think you solved it right away. That circular "MADE IN ENGLAND" stamp is very similar to a Comoy's Everyman I have back at home. It would also explain why it's so well-made for a pipe stamped with a whiskey brand. A look at another Comoy's shape 122 confirms it...- fontbandit

Who made this pipe?
I just purchased a pipe with “SCHENLEY” stamped onto one side of the shank, “MADE IN ENGLAND” in a circle and “122” stamped onto the other side, and a tiny white “S” on the stem. My first thought was it could be a Stanwell unusually made in England instead of Denmark, since they had a “Henley”...- fontbandit

Love it! Do you have a preferred brand? Maybe one that's flavorless and has a consistency that rubs on and off easily?- fontbandit

Here's a tip! If you keep a thin layer of obsidian oil on your stems, you can keep them out in the open and protect them. Just don't keep them in direct sunlight, or you'll risk bleaching them.- fontbandit

Thank you! When you catch the glue at just the right temperature, you can take the long part of a screwdriver and lay it against the warm glue so it holds the shape and not only protects, but also cradles the pipe in place. That's something I learned after the initial installation, when I was...- fontbandit

Thank you! I agree that it wouldn't make sense in a hallway. This is the wall next to my desk in the living room.- fontbandit

Eagle eye! It's a white Fender Strat, Wayne's World 2 edition, that I bought in 1994! On the other side of the window is a tobacco sunburst Strat Deluxe I bought in 2008 -- and a framed poster from every album release show my band played, where that guitar was my main axe on each record.
