    Fedora land

    Mike, yep; it's an Akubra "Territory". Singed, I have four Tilleys; great hats! You'll love 'em!

    Cue clips as pipe rack?

    I put a few of them into the side of my pipe cabinet; for me they haven't worked real well. They're a little large for most pipe shanks and the ones I used have tended to stretch out even larger; usually have to twist them at an extreme angle to keep the pipes in and even then they're only...

    Any savvy real estate agents or attorneys here?

    I would certainly consult a local attorney ASAP and not rely on i-net opinions, no matter how experienced or well-intended they might be. The signing of papers is a problem I imagine. Here in Kansas you can walk away at any time previous to the final signing but you'd forfeit any earnest money...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    I used to be all about freehand pipes or at least those with "the look". Got over that some time ago and moved almost all those pipes down the road. But this gnarly old Soren was a gift from my wife upon my completing my MFA degree lo those many years ago, and it ain't goin' nowhere...

    Pipe For Sale Peterson B-42 SOLD

    This pipe is back on the market. Hasn't had a bowl through it since I last listed it; just hasn't been on in the rotation. I have it on the bay at $90 shipped but with their fees I'd take $75 shipped here. Nice pipe but I have another B-42. Standard System B-42, sandblast, p-lip. Like new...

    Thrift Find!

    Found a Dunhill LB and an early Peterson billiard at a flea market; moved the Dunny but still have the Pete. I once found a smoking stand at an antique store; looked through the rest of the store and when I went back to buy it, it was gone! My wife insisted I buy this one instead; it was a lot...

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Feels more like summer here than autumn; record highs set yesterday. But it makes for decent evenings sitting outdoors, which is good, because this pipe which I call the Big A$$ calabash, definitely requires a sit-down session (or a really strong jaw!)! Hunter's Creek and a bit of Famous...

    What Beard size are you?

    I shave once or twice a week, whether I need to or not 🤣.

    What Beard size are you?

    Had a beard for a while in college, a goatee for a time a few years back. Have had my moustache since 1968 or so except for a couple of short clean-shaven periods.

    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Tossed a few flies today with a sweet little glass 4wt; I caught a one tiny bass - what my late sister-in-law always called half a pair of earrings - but then later I caught another, so I guess it was a full pair. That was it for the day; a couple bowls of Shepherd's Pie in the Pete Rathbone...

    Does anyone recognize this one

    Good eye! Did not see that until you pointed it out. Interesting! Maybe the OP will give us some more details.

    Does anyone recognize this one

    I don't, but a pipe I have that belonged to my father has similar brass accents and is stamped "Frank" and "French Briar"...

    Interesting Peterson inclusions

    I have the pipe stand; don't remember if it came with a pipe or was a "freebee" offer.

    So I guess that economy didn't prevent you from buying a new pipe, eh? Let's keep the political stuff in the rubber room as the site rules dictate. JMO.
