    Howdy fellas. TB here, coming at you live from way up north. This is one of the coolest summers in recent memory - it's 10:33 in the AM and it's only 54 degrees. Rained hard and steady all night. Slept with the window wide open - it was grand. Currently rocking a righteous bowl of well aged...

    Are you a straight or bent bit/stem person?

    I started this game with an immediate affinity for pipes with a bend. And at first I was enamored with freehand shapes over the "boring" traditional shapes. At the beginning, even the idea that a 3/4 bent billiard could be a desirable shape was foreign - my eye was on the big Danish freehands...

    Whaddup, Brothers of Briar. A cool and overcast morning up this way - languid and copasetic is the day. James Taylor - Carolina in My Mind on the hifi. Space grade sludge - black - alongside a slightly bent Tinsky brandy with a wonderful golden sandblast. I have had this pipe for several years...

    Carter Hall is currently rocking the casbah in a MM Cobbit. Brilliant combo. Got some locally roasted bean juice working - neat- in my new Father's Day coffee mug I got from my daughter yesterday. The mug is also locally made and it's unique, super funky and really cool. Widespread Panic is low...

    Howdy BoBers. A bluebird day up here Alaska way. Currently rocking some Scottish Cake in a sandblasted Castello 55er. Got some well aged Marlin Flake on standby; planning on loading it into a Stanwell Nanna Ivarsson designed bent dublin. The smooth half bent dub has a killer conical bowl that is...

    Father's Day paraphernalia

    Those are both seriously great for creating that certain vibe... very nice! (I concur - leave the brass fisherman as is with tarnish/character intact)

    Any Carter Hall lovers or haters?

    I stumbled into this thread a little late... but here's my take: A year or three back, a close friend - the only local here in Anchorage who I routinely talk pipe/baccies with, he used to own a pipe and cigar shop - on Kodiak Island of all places. He has some outstanding stories about that...

    HELLO OUT THERE

    Greetings and salutations, DeBEAR. Pull up, pour yourself a nice mug of joe and sit a spell. This is a cool place to hang out and just relax. You're free to opine on just about any topic, ask questions, crack jokes, vent any bothersome existential angst, maybe even engage in pipe and tobacco...

    Howdy fellas. TB checking in with righteous bowl of Three Friars working in a half bent rusticated apple. It's a Rinaldo Skipper - a compact but fairly large bowled piece. Is it just me or do the Rinaldo boys make one of the best acrylic stems in the game. Very thin, very comfortable, with an...

    Good morning, fellow pipesters. This morning is cool, dead calm, quiet. A day of yard work looms. Got a well aged bowl of Beacon working in a fetching Poul Winslow rusticated paneled poker. Cuppa mud on the side. A choice selection of chill tunes softly plays to usher in the day and to ward off...

    Wow - that is truly both a unique and fantastic pipe and it's even more fantastic because it belonged to your father. Super cool.

    Three Friars in a rusticated 2001 half bent Nording rhodesian "hunting pipe." This morning is cool, overcast, and languid. Tranquil even. Good old Ronnie Earl and the Broadcasters are holding it down on the hifi set up. "Rego Park Blues" is filling the space with just the right down home bluesy...

    Hello JimInks - Just wanted to say this pipe really catches my eye - great lines. Which is odd, as I am usually drawn to more trad shapes. I appreciate how you post pics on the regular of your pipes. Man you can roll through some pipes in one day - impressive lol. Thanks again to you and to all...

    Howdy gents. The day is calm and kind. Currently finishing a delightful morning bowl of Old Dark Fired in a sweet slightly bent blasted pot. Planning on firing up "Old Reliable" - my trusty, classic, ancient Weber charcoal kettle later today for some tasty vittles this evening. Got an epic pot...
