Shallow tooth indentations or scratches can be buffed out, or nearly out, of vulcanite stems, and even with harder stems they can be made less visible by buffing. I smoke hands free a lot. For me the most important factor has been to keep only light weight pipes and don't go too long on stem...

On my computer, the current Jones pipes you linked to look a lot redder than my pipes in person, but you are correct that its mainly on the rim that the photos look redder. Steve

Pipes made by David Jones and sold new on Ebay tend to be hefty chunks of wood. That is based only on two pipes that I have owned, but his Ebay photos suggest that large pipes are his style. I bought the two below from Ebay for under $100 each. Most of the time he has 2-3 pipes for auction...

I bought a bag of Mac Baren Scottish Mixture (from bulk) the other day. I like it. Here is a photo of it: http://www.smokingpipes.com/tobacco/by-maker/mac-baren/bulk/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=10778 In the hand and in the pipe it reminds me of a tinned tobacco I used to buy years ago, but I...

I have an ashtray with a cork, but never use it. Since I smoke mainly when driving, I just stick my pipe out the window and let the wind do the job. steve

Two gorgeous Dogs. Nice photos too! Is the second one also a Nielsen? Steve

Grade inflation, plus the prices have gotten out of hand. Pipes with grain that would not have merited a certain grade in the old days, are now being marketed in that grade, and at outrageous prices, at least on Ebay which is where the majority of the new US stock seems to be retailed these...

Yep...this time its a car floor mat draped between me and the wheel. At the time of purchase I did wonder if I'd like the partial rustication treatment, but it has grown on me. Steve

. Here's a James Upshall B I picked up in the mid '90s. It has just been cleaned up, so time for photos! . . .

. Here's a nice little Acorn I picked up at the Pipe & Tobacco Shop near the university campus in Little Rock, AR a few years back. I bought this as a vacation memento. Enjoy! . . .

. As of this month, David Johnson (Ozark Mountain Briars) has ceased making pipes due to wood dust allergies. I own 6 or 7 of his pieces. David's work was right up there among the best of US pipe makers in my opinion, and I will greatly miss his output. He had an elegant, neoclassical style...

Surrounded with earth revetment, maybe it could be an effective tornado shelter. This season I saw a crumpled steel grain bin laying in the middle of a field, and those are usually bolted to concrete slabs. Steve

I once worked for a guy like that. He had collected cars for years with the idea of restoring them, and never got around to it. By the time he died, his barn was full of them. Steve

Regarding the second photo, its not clear to me if some of those pipes are supposed to be smoked, or played. Steve

If your database will be relational, pay close attention to the formal rules of logical data modeling, and be thorough about trying to identify all the data entities that could eventually be in the model, even if they are not all implemented in the initial physical database (which is the usual...

This may not be the answer you were seeking, but a sip is a shallow draw of smoke from the pipe into the mouth, and a puff is when you eject the smoke out of your mouth (but then, what is it called if the smoke is ejected out one's nose?). There's nothing wrong with short smokes, they just give...

Sorry...I have nothing risque to add. Maybe I was imagining it, but I think I heard harmony in that kitty choir. It makes me wonder how many tracks the creator had to merge to produce that. The dogs coming into the tune at the end to break it up was very clever. Nice vid! Steve

... and the Ser Jacopo "INSANUS" does not count! Steve
