    Falcon pipes

    I have a few Falcons. I use them mostly as "work pipes" instead of one of my Petes. The bit does not agree with me but that's a minor issue. I prefer Kirstens for a metal pipe with an interchangeable bowl and have a lot of Kirstens and bowls.

    Is this removable

    If the stinger does not unscrew or pull out, there are two other tricks to try. One is to place the steam in the freezer for 30 minutes or so. Remove and see if it unscrews or pulls out. Two, heat the stinger (gently) to see if the stinger has managed to get stuck by tars. If neither work, I...

    Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture

    The few times Pipestud has had Cabbie's Mixture available, it has disappeared about as soon as the site goes live. To me, another indicator that there is a market for Cabbie's Mixture.

    Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture

    Hoping someone here can assist me. I have searched without success for a US shop (preferably an online shop, but a brick and mortar shop that will ship will do me) that carries Samuel Gawith Cabbie's Mixture. I've been told either Cabbie's Mixture is no longer manufactured or that Samuel...

    Peterson house pipe terracotta

    If you're looking for a House Pipe (or a Pub Pipe for that matter), your best place to look is Smoking Pipes. Right now, they have several in Heritage finish and one in Oak. Terracotta finish is not one that's seen often in a House Pipe or a Pub Pipe.

    Which Peterson pipe for a shorter smoking period while working with your hands?

    The Peterson short collection is ideal for what you're looking for. I have several of both the rusticated and smooth versions. Peterson also recently introduced two models (3085 , which is a paneled pipe and 411, which is a squat Rhodesian) that could work. Any of the Peterson 701 would seem to...

    How is Watch City bulk packaged?

    Watch City blends are all bulk except for a tin or two. I believe they have an anniversary blend that is tinned. All my orders have come in plastic bags,

    Rhodesian vs Bulldog

    I believe post # 410 on PPN was talking about bulldogs, but had links to previous posts that talked about bulldogs, Rhodesians, authors, bullcaps and similar shapes. I have spent hours reading Mike's posts and always learn something new.

    Rhodesian vs Bulldog

    Mike Irwin's Peterson Pipe Notes blog and Steve Laug's reborn Pipes blog have dived into this one recently. A bulldog and a Rhodesian are similar in shape. The bulldog has a diamond shaped shank while the Rhodesian shank is round.

    There is a 1999 Nording smooth Quail for sale in the Danish Estates section at Smoking Pipes. Would recommend keeping an eye to their estates sections as there are a lot of excellent pipes that are posted twice a week.

    NPD: Vauen Topas 150 Paneled Apple

    Very nice looking birdseye grain! The only Vauen pipe I have is the old Zeppelin pipe and tamper that they made back in the 80s/90s.

    Are you a straight or bent bit/stem person?

    Primarily bent pipes. I do have a few straight stemmed pipes that I smoke on occasion but the collection is over 90% bent stemmed.

    Peterson Question

    As noted above, the shape number will allow you to determine whether or not the Pete is a system pipe. On some estates purchased over the years, I need to do a little research because of changes to the numbering system. The research can be more fun than chasing a pipe.
