All my orders this past month from Pipes and Cigars, Tobaccopipes and Cigars International have been spot on and shipped in a very reasonable time. My last order from Mars Cigars was spot on but took longer in the system after being shipped. Haven't ordered from Smoking Pipes in awhile but the...

C&D Bow Legged Bear in a Lepeltier clay Oompaul.

IMHO one of the best movies he made. Also one of the best Westerns ever made. Not sure what year it was made but surprised he or Jeffery Hunter(?) didn't receive Oscars for their acting.

I believe you are right. She was a very nice person to deal with in person.

All of the stems I have were purchased from Pipe Makers Emporium when Paul Hildebrand owned the store in Phoenix. He would sell them by the dozen. He had large storage racks full of boxes of stems. He had everything when it came to pipe making: components, tooling, briar, polishing materials and...

Beautiful work. You have outdone yourself with that shape. I'm partial to three through five.

I wish I was that talented. I believe I purchased the bands at Penn State Industries. They were already engraved.

I've been putting a metal band at the of the bamboo due to the splitting. The bamboo that I've used I purchased from Pipe Makers Emporium many years ago when the shop was in Phoenix. This is some of the cobs that I have modified. The pipe with the yellow stem has a deer antler shank. The bands...

First bowl this morning Hearth & Home Larry's Blend in a cob. Currently smoking a leftover English bulk that I didn't label on the jar in an 2005 Ardor Fantasy.

My second bowl of the day Captain Earle's Honor Blend in the same Mike Brissett freehand. Nice smoking pipe.

I agree beautiful looking rifle. Me helping watch my Granddaughter while she goes through her surgeries at Shriners and "trying" to build the British sailing ship the Golden Hind.

Match Field and Stream in a Mike Brissett freehand.

This is the time of year I miss Arizona. Hopefully back home in a couple of months.

I agree that is the biggest problem with bamboo. The few I've modified I have usually put some type of metal band around the bamboo at the tenon where the stem goes into the bamboo. I will probably do that with this pipe. I need to measure the diameter and convert it to mm so I can order. I...

Hearth & Home Larry's Blend in a 2006 Peterson pipe of the year poker. Seems to be a pretty good English blend IMHO.

Actual bamboo. Was a light brown color and I stained a darker color. The toughest part was center drilling the air passage and counter sinking for the stem.

Sorry news indeed.

Mac Baren Seven Seas Royal in a no name rusticated bulldog.

Was playing around with another of the cobs that I purchased. I think I will leave the stem/bit straight this time. I still need to polish and do some cleaning up of the stem.

Thanks for the tip.
