I just bought an un-smoked 1978 Brigham five dot pipe (their finest quality), with the original sticker price of $39.95 still inside the clay lined bowl. Included was the original box, cover and the 1978 pamphlet that came with the pipe. After lying dormant for 45 years, I thought that a...

Very glad to see you on the mend Zippo-you will soon be lighting up with the rest of us. Received my Condor Regular Ready Rubbed from Dublin and tried a plug in my Savinelli. Many years ago, I used to smoke Condor Mild. The strength of this tobacco, (with it’s wonderful room note), came as a...

After a breakfast of French Crepes and a large pot of English Breakfast tea I headed to the barn to perform the usual chores. While the goats need a hoof trim, they will have to wait. I have now charged my Peterson with Capstan Navy Flake and going to the garden & orchard and enjoy the brilliant...

Good grief! Based on that level of taxation, I almost feel feel guilty for complaining about ours.

This morning I am packing my Bent Billiard Castello with Erinmore, (my most aromatic tobacco) and heading to the barn. Here I will clean up the remains of a feeder (splintered wood, bent nails & screws) that a larger Billy Goat destroyed. While I am doing this, the aromatic room notes from my...

Just returned a large Billy goat to a friendly neighbour, after servicing our does. During his stay, he destroyed a wooden feeder, consumed vast amounts of hay and feed and bucked me as a departing gesture. Our barn still has this sour, rancid smell from him. Needless to say, I am thoroughly...

This afternoon I am plugging my Large Ferndown with MB Scottish Mixture, the sweet, mild slightly aromatic notes, will aid me in the quiet, reflective time I need to finish writing and editing an article. A mug of strong coffee will help to keep my wits about me.

This morning I am Packing my giant Ashton with St. Bruno Flake. This is a pipe I normally reserve for a long evening with relative and friends. To day however, I feel like a long smoke although I will probably break it into two sessions. I just bought a 100-gram (3.5 oz) tin of Mac Baren...

This morning, I filled my rusticated Dunhill Bent Rhodesian with Three Nuns and set out to look for new molehills Our once immaculate, lawn has been destroyed by these pests. I’ve been using smoke bombs with some success. I once got very lucky when after digging up a mole hill I found one among...

After an early morning breakfast, I sat cradling My Mastro de Paja, plugged with Capstan Navy Flake and started musing about the relationship we have with the pipes we smoke. While they are inanimate objects, they do have very individual designs that project a personality. A personality that...

Hello Zippo: Many thanks for sharing this interesting pipe. To me, with it's intricate, filigree decoration, it has a Balkan appearance. The double headed eagle could be Serbian or Albanian.

Hi DRT999: Many thanks or th Dublin connectio.

I just filled my large Ashton with MacBaren Scottish Mixture and with a large mug of black coffee I am going to settle in for a long enjoyable Friday morning. The smell of fresh brewed coffee and the wonderful room note from this tobacco will be savoured. After my second bowl, I substantially...

This morning I packed my Peterson with Capstan Navy Flake and headed for the barn. After finishing my chores, it started to rain so I climbed onto my tractor and sat down to finish smoking my pipe. Our barn cat then curled up on my lap. We were both glad of each others company as we waited for...

Hi Jiminks: You seem to have a huge collection of pipes and some exotic looking ones at that. If you don't mind me asking, how big is your collection? This morning I am enjoying a large, strong black cofffee and Three Nuns packed into my Castello. .

Congratulations - brilliant choice,

Filling my Savinelli bent billiard with St. Bruno Flake, I took a long stroll along the nearby Fraser River and pondered the beginning of a new year.
