    Tin Spotting on Bosch

    Watching an episode of Bosch on Amazon Prime and noticed this. You see pipe smoking showing up in tv and film but I cannot recall seeing a tin of tobacco.

    I’m Guessing This Is Mold

    Just cracked a tin of Kajun Kake from 2014 to discover this. This is very disappointing. C&D is not the easiest thing for me to get here in Bulgaria.

    GBD New Standard w/ Tuskan Lip - Restoration

    I found this GBD at a local antique store today here in downtown Sofia, Bulgaria. I’m guessing that it’s from the 60’s, and would appreciate if any was able to confirm. I’ve spent the last couple hours cleaning it up. Unfortunately, I do not have a buffing wheel or dremel, so I had to settle...

    A New George Boyadjiev Fish

    I just added the second pipe from George Boyadjiev @gbpipes to my collection. I went to his shop last week to hangout and discuss plans for my next commission when I saw this pipe on his workbench. He wasn’t quite done with it but I knew that I wanted it. I’m smoking a bowl in it as I type and I...

    Bulgaria's Best Kept Secret: A Look At My New GBPipes Billiard

    George Boyadjiev (@gbpipes ) and my path crossed this September (check out the link below to find out more about that story). It did not take long for me to decide that I wanted to commission a pipe from him. Thankfully, it was not hard to decide on a shape because he and I both share a love for...

    A Serendipitous Encounter With Bulgarian Pipe Maker George Boyadjiev

    Earlier today I was in downtown Sofia, Bulgaria with Dal, @thepipesteward. We took a picture that he posted to a FB group. A short time later we were contacted by a Bulgarian man asking if we wanted to meet up for a pipe. Of course we did! Turns out that the man was George Boyadjiev, an artisan...

    Does Bijou Still Contain Vintage Leaf?

    We are all aware of the big hiccup that occurred with Bijou's release years ago. With that aside, it really is a great blend. I was looking to re-up my supply of this because all of mine are from right after the initial run and I am running low. However, it got me thinking about whether or not...

    Sasieni Royal Stuart (Before & After)

    Just cleaned up this Sasieni I found at an antique shop. I had a hard time trying to restore the logo on the stem, but did what I could. Do not know much about the pipe. If you have any idea please let me know. Before: After:

    Can’t Take Them All (Pipes Edition)

    I’ve mentioned in other threads that my family will soon be moving to Bulgaria. We are going to serve in a local church plant and a ministry that helps women who are victims of sex trafficking. As much as I would like to take all of my pipes and tobacco it is simply not an option (especially the...

    Watch City - Glass Slipper

    Like many of you, I am a big fan of Watch City blends. The release of Glass Slipper Brought me out of my seven month tobacco buying hiatus. Did anyone else pick any of this up?

    Help Date a Charatan & Barling

    Can anyone guess at the dates or era of these pipes based on the nomenclature? Neither stem has a logo. Thanks!

    An Unfortunate Break

    Was just unpacking my pipe bag and discovered that the tenon on this Barling snapped. The pipe was inside of a hard shell case, so I am not sure how this happened. Pretty heartbreaking nonetheless.

    New Non-Aromatic Cobblestone Offerings

    Noticed there are several new offerings in the Cobblestone line over at TP. The previous blends are all aromatics blended by Sutliff but these all appear to be Non-Aro’s made in Germany. Anyone tried these yet or have any info on them? Maybe @jiminks?

    Seattle Pipe Club Questions

    I know Sutliff produces SPC blends now, but did someone produce it before them? Also, Why did they stop offering SPC blends in bulk?
