    Comoy Pipes on the Cheap

    Ok, so they're not Dunhill. But JR Cigar is selling a variety of Comoy pipes for just $29.95. Worth taking a look. I plan on buying a couple of them.

    Stolen Pipes Alert

    I was just looking at Marty Pulvers' site (Pulversbriars.com) and he had a request to be on the look out for any sudden offerings of Bo Nordh pipes from unusual sources.

    Bored out the shank and made a hand cut stem. He's definitely the go-to man when it comes to meerschaum pipe repair. Here's his price list. http://www.norwoodspiperepair.com/repair.html

    Opening Up a Meerschaum

    What a difference opening up the airway makes. I have a large Salim reverse claw meerschaum that colored beautifully but always smoked just "ok" due to the tight draw. So, I finally got around to sending it off to Floyd Norwood to have the draft hole opened up in the shank and a new hand cut...

    For those of you who frequent the other worthwhile forum, Gray Fox, the forum site is down for some unknown reason. Unknown if Iron Mike is even aware of it.

    Prince Albert or Carter Hall?

    I find Carter Hall to be a putrid smoke. However, I do enjoy PA and always keep some on hand.
