    A Little Peterson Sherlock Holmes PAD

    I have twelve Petersons from the various Sherlock Holmes incarnations. I like fairly large pipes, so most of the SH pipes fall right in my wheelhouse. My most recent is also a Baskerville which I've yet to initiate. All fine smokers (so far) and to my eye the shapes are some of the most...

    Pete Lestrade

    Bought on the bay; I paid more than I wanted to but it was advertised as "fine pre-owned condition". As received: filthy dirty with some spots of something hard caked on the outside of the bowl, heavily caked bowl, heavily caked and charred rim, stem appeared to have been scraped in attempt to...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    I didn't get many shots; seemed to always be in the wrong spot. And, I shot poorly on the few I did get. I came home with two. But when you get to be my age you're often the dedicated blocker...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    I took three pipes, a pouch of EGR and a pouch of H&H on my recent SoDak bird hunting trip. Hed a few bowls in the Pete Deerstalker and a couple in the Pete Strand. Had my old sandblast 106 Billiard along too but it never came out of the case.

    What watch you wearing?

    My daily wearer is a Citizen Eco-Drive chrono... I have a Longines Dolce-Vita chrono for "dress" wear; of course I rarely dress up anymore... And a cheapie Cabela's field watch I wear when I won't feel too badly if I damage or lose it... This is my dad's 40's Bulova; I used to wear it...

    Favorite for an interior bath

    I bought an estate pipe that turned out to be in horrible condition. I've got the outside looking presentable but I need to do a good sit 'n' soak or something; from the looks of the pipe it's scary to think about what kind of horse manure the previous owner put in there! I've heard salt...

    Does anybody, really?

    I frankly chuckle and shake my head when I look at many of the "artesian" pipes that are advertised. In addition to being outlandishly overpriced, does anybody actually smoke them ugly things? I suppose if you want to collect them as a work of art like sculpture and you have that kind of...

    Hatchet

    This hatchet head was in a box of stuff my sister-in-law gave me after my brother-in-law passed. I remember him talking about finishing it up but he never got the chance. I've had it for a while but I never could decide what material to use for the handle. I saw this chunk of wood along the...

    Gone (sadly) but not forgotten...

    Someone recently asked members to list their favorite tobaccos, restricting it to tobaccos currently available. That prompted me to wonder: what are your favorites that are no longer available? Some on my list have "match" blends out there; a few I've tried, and I must admit I've been...

    Pipe Wanted WTB: Unicorns

    OK; I'm confused. You have to list an "offer" if you're looking to buy something? How is that supposed to work?

    Prince Shape and French Pipes

    While I wouldn't call the 408 a traditional Prince shape, it's a pipe I could learn to love :)

    Prince Shape and French Pipes

    The late great Tom Dunn's favorite shape was the Prince. A bit too dainty for me; JMO.
