By sheer good fortune, my former boss turned me on to the music of Stan Rogers. Id never heard of him before but he's absolutely brilliant.

New to me, yes, but not new. It's an estate pipe that hasn't been smoked in years.

Oh my lordy, she's lovely. A freehand Bartoli with a lovely big...bowl. Just the thing for long smokes. B-e-a-yootiful!

I I like the overall aesthetic of the Bing, but the golf logo spoils it for me, as I have no interest in golf whatsoever.

I think it'll be Peterson's Early Morning Pipe.

And just like that, another Savinelli joins the family, this time a 165 "Clark's Favourite", a demi-churchwarden in the rusticated finish. Love this one.

Excellent. Cheers for that, mate.

I've just picked this Vauen Mcrooty 511 up for next to nothing, and am very happy indeed. Lightly used, the previous owner has given it the coffee ground treatment to remove any trace of ghosting, so it's ready to smoke. This will likely be the pipe I start with when I pick up my first planned...

Good evening from sunny Wales. I hope everyone is well. Amongst my recent acquisitions, I've picked up a number of estate pipes in need of cleaning up, and I'd like to do it myself. I've always done this with fishing tackle since I was young, because tinkering like this is something I find...

Well, this is already becoming a problem. I spotted this Butz-Choquin and fell in love with it and, for a very good price, went for it. Smoked once, boxed, in excellent condition. What else was I supposed to do?!🤷‍♂️

Amen to that!!!

Hi all, You may recall my post outlining a plan for eventually taking up pipe smoking over a slow, prolonged period. Well, I've just blown that out of the water by buying a Savinelli Morellina 614, along with filters, lighter etc. I think I'll be partaking by summer at that latest. Ah well, the...

Well, I haven't even actually started to smoke a pipe yet, but I'm already getting a nice feel for the community as the whole. There's such a lively ambience and more than a few characters, particularly on YouTube. I started with Alan Harrelson, the banjo picking preacher with his "hoo-eee...

That is truly glorious. I'm only just starting out, but one day I hope to have a few pipes that lovely in my collection.

I usually have a few readers on the go at any given time, dependant upon what I'm doing. Currently: Bedtime - The Complete Sherlock Holmes In the bath - Wilderness Days by Sigurd F. Olson For breakfast time - The Collected Poetry of Robert Frost. I even used to have a book on the go for when I...

Well, I took the plunge, though I didn't have to dive very deep into my pockets. For five British pounds I've bought the Bewlay. Quite happy I am with it too. Have I bought something half decent, or is it a cheap Duffer? Time will tell.

Excellent. Thank you.

Hi all, Im just looking for a little advice. I'm lining up the purchase of a Bewlay 272 pipe as part of my early pipe journey. It's not going to cost a great deal and is in very good condition, so would it be worth picking up to put into rotation? Thanks.

Will do, thank you.

Thank you!
