LTF in the Pete Aran 80s.

A nice evening smoke on the porch. A bowl of Peterson Limited Summer Blend in one of my Winslows. Tamping it down with my new Zap Zap tamper I acquired about a week or so ago :)

I did some searching on Hackert Pipes today... Some information that I found says the tobacco shop that he sells out of closed the doors... I have a pending email to him...

like your tamper. May I ask where you got it ?

Any suggestions for a person who would like to get into nice pipe to smoke? I've wanted one for years, just always stayed away, didn't have the time or patience for a pipe. There are so many to choose from, what would be a good brand of pipe for someone starting out? I realize that's a pretty open question, so many things to consider, but something nice just to see how it works out for me. As far as time goes, I seem to have quite a bit more on my hands now, and have developed a taste for old school rites, wet shaving, and now; perhaps pipes.

thanks, don v

This is one that I made last year... I call it a "Fake Jake":

Thanks. I did a quick search and could not find any place selling his cob pipes. There was a seller on ebay going by jacob8706 who has sold dozens of Hackert briar pipes recently. The seller was out of Lancaster PA and I assume that it may either of been Hackert or the Demuth tobacco shop (I think they went out of business?) I just could not find any cobs.

On a side note, you really made that?!? Beautiful!!!

Lots of people are going to say, start with a corncob and I would agree.

However, if you want a briar I like Peterson.

That would be the real Jake... Should be his eBay store... I'm still waiting to hear from Jake via eMail... And yes... about 20 minutes of work ;)

Wednesday evening pipe & beer.
Best Brown Flakes from Oldenkott.
Beer named after man who got tragic ending (but got a beer named after him anyways).

Haven't heard about Buckeye or Alex either. But i thought that Thomas is currently having a vacation in the USA. Guess he must be still there ???
If he happens to walk by, you can always ask ;) You can surely know him by the Harley clothing, razor in his pocket and the pipe in his mouth.
