I met Sykes at a Chicago show. He is a very nice guy and easy to talk to. He got his start here in Nashville. Glad to see some good things posted about them. Congrats on your great service, TJ. showme

Great ingenuity, Dock. :D showme

I received some Trinidad TTT's from CP as a thank you for some cookies I sent him. Is anybody familiar with this cigar? What is your opinion of it? showme

Welcome, J Rock. Your pipe world will expand even more with the knowledge you will acquire here. Ejoy the journey. Glad to have you aboard, showme

"Corking the blade." Hmmm, I'll try it. Is this similar to stropping a straight razor on leather? showme

Welcome, Ian. If your photography interest has merged with your pipe interest I'd love to see some photos of your Ivarsson pipes, in particular. Post often, showme

Great pipe, Bob. That spiral stem sure is appealing. Is the bowl a blast? I've never seen anything like it. showme

Tell us all, MB. I'm for anything that results in a smoother, better shave. showme

Awesome tour. Thanks for taking the time to do that, Love. I particluarly liked the blasted pipe: well done! showme

Tony's right. I think any name brand blades you want you'll likely find online. I think my grocery store, Publix, has a generic brand that I use. The generic thing opens another can of worms: are name brand blades sharper, more durable, etc. than generics? I want to say Carlos found a source...

Sadly, this is why I will never be able to have a Ruthenberg pipe. :( The availablity of my money and the availability of his pipes are so far apart that never the twain shall meet! His pipes sell just as fast in person, too! I sat with Brian at a Chicago show OUT IN THE HALLWAY and watched...

Welcome, Brian. Good to see you again. I look forward to viewing your sold pipes. (Seems like every pipe you post is already sold by the time I see it, lol!) How do you sleep at night knowing everything you make is essentially sold before it is finished? Pretty good, I hope. Love your work...

Great tip! Thanks, Carlos showme

Some guys have all the luck. Enjoy the pipe! showme

Hmph. Hollywood, you make the bowl whatever size you want. There are always folks who appreciate smaller group sizes. I, for instance, don't always have an hour to spend smoking a pipe and don't really like filling a larger bowl halfway. There is also a contingent of smokers that think 7/8 is...

I've heard this recipe called "hodge-podge." In my experience it meets with success now and then, but, as you mention, is limited. This is not always a bad thing, hehehee. Think of it as a fine, rare wine when that happens and enjoy it while you have it. showme

Yep, Carlos, a box slides right in and the open side is for striking. Like Jason pointed out, construction is so simple. I suppose it could be easily bent if sat on (which I would most likely do), but I think it is pretty neat. Anybody think they could make one? CP, no eagles, but the first...

Welcome, Peter. showme

Yes, hang in there, Mike. This just gives you more time to consider what the most satisfying first bowl could be. I'm guessing....wait...it's coming to me...something.....with...Latakia in it! showme

Very cool, m2. I'd love to see them. If anyone knows of a current source for such things, please let me know. Here are a couple pics of my Christmas holder. It is made by Gage Industries, Inc. showme
