Rick Newcombe gave me a pack of these in Chicago at a show to try. They are very good. One of the most irritating things about pipe cleaners for me is the fluff coming off the cleaner, especially, when I dry the pipe during smoking. These cleaners leave some fluff too, but not nearly as bad...

True for me. I never had a bad smoking pipe by Larry Roush. :pipe:

J. Davis, Lindner, Florov are all selling their pipes for much higher then $200-500 range specified. Lindner's pipes are around $1000 mark. Florov is up ther too. Davis is practically unavailable... One can buy a fairly inexpensive good quality smoking pipe made by Jim Boswell or Tim West...

CPT/VSG: I would recommend narrowing your question somewhat. Personal opinions about the best American carvers will likely vary significantly from one pipesmoker to another. If you're trying to gather some feedback prior to purchasing a pipe, I suggest starting with the source, condition and...

I have pipes made by Mark Tinsky and Rad Davis. I'd say they both smoke well. If I had to to compare; Rad's attention to and vision of the pipe shape is more appealing to me than Mark's (Mark's shapes are more traditional, although I really do like his pipes). I was fortunate to buy a couple...

It never stops amusing me when someone says: “I’m not a racist, but those Japs (Jews, Arabs, Yellows etc.) are just getting on my nerves sometimes…” Doesn’t apply, you’d say? How’s this: “I really think all Vauens are useless laquered pieces of dung. But I don’t mind people smoking them, as...

Wow, my first clash here. That didn’t take long. 8) Yak: No, I don’t believe I imagined what you’ve sad (and I am going to spell your forum name correctly, although you didn’t afford me the same courtesy). Your posts, while written and reasoned seemingly well, have offended at least one...

Neill, everything Yak said in this thread is just the same thing and sentiment we hear everywhere else, only in more refined words, with some historic parallels and a splash of philosophical reasoning... :lol: Seriously, how different was it from: "I smoke many expensive artisan pipes and all...

That Chonowitsch blowfish was actually not that small, Bruce. Pretty fair sized bowl, I'd say. Per's blowfish, of course, was really big. I think I know the pipe you're referring to. If that's the pip, my congratulations, Bruce. I really liked it too.

One of his pipes is being sold by Premal from SmokersHaven as part of his annivcersary set. Nice pipe, actually. One of the few that I liked from that set.

I've recently come across two pipes that are now officially my "pipe dreams": Jess Chonowitsch - Smooth Blowfish and S. Bang (Per Hansen) - Smooth Blowfish:

Totally agree! She could have said what she wanted to say in 400 pages less... I am now reading The Age of Turbulence by Alan Greenspan, who sings a lot of praise to Ayn Rand calling her one of the people who influenced him the most...

Wesley's Tobacconists out of South Africa sell al sorts of neat cheap gadgets like filter adapters etc. I bought from them before. Beware of high shipping charges. I purchased Balkan Sobranie tobacco from them and added some accessories, so it was OK to pay $45 shipping. They show prices in...

Thanks, gentlemen. Bill, that tamper you made for me and brought to Chicago is truly something... I used it for the first time, yesterday, after my wife decided to surpirse me with the garage clean-up campaign. (Imagine returning home from work and dreaming of a hot supper, cold beer and pipe...

Howdy, everyone! Good to see some familiar names here. :pipe: Naum Calgary, Alberta, Canada
