    Show Us Your Dr Bob Pipes

    I met Dr Bob and his pipes back at the 2013 then West Coast Pipe Show in Las Vegas. His rustication caught my eye and made me stop at his table for a closer look. The last picture above is the one I ended up buying from him after a nice conversation. For those that don’t know, he is a former...

    Walt Cannoy Suedeblast

    From the moment I first saw a picture of Walt Cannoy’s suedeblast it was my mission to acquire one for my American carvers collection. The intricate swirls it creates are mesmerizing. There’s so much detail in this specific blast. It also feels nice in the hand when holding the pipe. I...

    Who do You Send Your Pipes for Professional Cleaning?

    Title edited to lower case articles and unimportant works. I’m thinking about bringing my collection of Sam Adebayo pipes to the LVIPS in October, but I’d like to send them off to be professionally cleaned better than I can do myself. Looking for suggestions of reputable places to send them off...

    I Must Be A Blind Squirrel - Finally Found A Love For Acorns

    It only took 11yrs, but I finally found a love for the acorn shape. The last 3-5yrs I was on the hunt for straight pipes; lovats, billiards, apples. Bent pipes just weren’t appealing to me. A week ago I stumbled on Sean Reum’s Instagram and absolutely fell in love with an acorn he had made...

    Do You Have A Tobacco Tray?

    I picked up this one recently from Levoy Leatherworks. Tyler was at the LVIPS back in October and I got to meet him, really good guy. My show budget ran out when I made it to his table, so I recently ordered this off his website ( www.levoysleathers.com ) . I also have him working on a custom...

    My Tobacco Cellar and Pipe Cabinet

    I finally got around to putting together the pipe cabinet and putting the doors on both cabinets. Yes they’re IKEA and yes I’m sure I swore in Swedish putting them together even though I don’t speak Swedish, but I love how they turned out. It was definitely more fun rearranging the tins and...

    Show Us Your Pipe Cabinet

    We moved last year and I just now got around to putting together my new pipe cabinet. It’s almost done, just have to put on the doors. Glad I upgraded to this one, because this one actually fits my entire collection. There’s also a couple shelves below for more pipes!

    Cleaning Is Cathartic

    I’ve been going through some tough times lately. In November I went into kidney failure and spent a week in the hospital. Got out Thanksgiving Day and I’ve been on dialysis ever since. Obviously haven’t been enjoying my pipes since I’m on dialysis now. Over the time I grew a lot closer to some...

    Micallef Cigars

    Anyone else into the Micallef brand? A buddy of mine who lives in Texas got me on them. Gave me a Migdalia and it was really good. Been working my way through the rest of their portfolio. Really good group of people on the ambassadors page. Brand really supports the B&Ms so that's basically...

    Sam Adebayo - SmokingPipes American Expo

    Every year SP does an American Exposition where their American carvers are given a theme and then create unique and incredible pipes for the Expo. This year’s theme was influences. I was lucky enough to buy one of my favorite carvers Sam Adebayo’s submission, an amazing dark stain blasted Lovat...

    New Ryan Alden Pipe

    I picked up this amazing dark stain sandblasted bulldog with ivorite accent. Love Ryan’s work! Some of the most comfortable stems ever and the shaping and finishing is top notch.

    Mac Baren's London Burley Blend - Limited Run 2019

    So glad to hear this is coming back for a limited run! Last year (2018) I stumbled across a tin from the last run which I believe was somewhere around 10yrs old. When it got cooler here in Vegas (I know I know desert rats don't know cold) I rehydrated some of it and smoked it for about a week...

    C&D Manhattan Afternoon

    One day I was browsing through C&Ds massive catalog on a SmokingPipes and came across Manhattan Afternoon. The Wessex and Fribourg & Treyer blends were post on SP so I decided to add in a tin of Manhattan Afternoon to that order to check it out. Really like the tin artwork. Classy vintage...

    New John Aylesbury Rollagas Style Lighter

    I saw SmokingPipes picked these up. Figured for $56 it was worth a go. I like it so far. Just a bit curious if anyone knows how to replace the flint for these? I’ve never had this style of lighter before.

    2019 SmokingPipes American Exposition

    Well, they done did it again. SP got their US carvers to put out a pipe with a theme for the 4th of July American Exposition. This being the 5th annual they went with the original bamboo theme. It was an AMAZING group of pipes! Todd Johnson using a really unique S curved piece of bamboo where he...

    GL Pease - Fillmore

    I picked up a tin back when Stuff&Things (Bradley) did a review of it.Finally got around to cracking it open just now. The tin is dated 11/24/17 so this has some age on it. The tin note was mostly that wonderful fruity Virginia aroma. Definitely the star of the scent. When I lit it up...

    GL Pease - Cumberland

    Picked up a tin a while back and finally got around to cracking it open. It's dated 12-27-17 so it's a bit over a year age on it. After two bowls the overall consensus on it so far is... it's quite spicy. The red VAs are really nice rich dark fruit notes. The Perique is a nice figgy kind of...

    Scottie Piersel Sandblast Pencil Shank Straight Dublin

    I swear, it feels like I must have somehow handed Shane Ireland my bucket list of pipes, cause this year I’ve seen a number that I’ve been looking for quite some time to get. This new one is no exception. Since I saw Scottie’s pencil shank pipes I’ve wanted one and now that I’m collecting...

    West Coast Pipe Show 2018

    It’s only a few months away now (November 10th & 11th). I’m getting anxious for the show. Curious as to who all will be attending this year. If anyone has heard of carvers, blenders, B&Ms, pipe/tobacco companies that have confirmed they’ll be there please mention it here. I’ve heard the...
