What IF

What IF

February 13, 2012 by Adam Davidson

As you've all probably been able to detect through our various newsletters, Eric and I have many bizarre conversations within the confines of the pipe library. In the course of concocting descriptions for pipes, cigars, tobaccos, and accessories, along with writing various blogs, newsletters ... Read More

What Makes the Man

What Makes the Man

August 18, 2011 by Eric Squires

The clothes make the man," we have all so often been told. Utter nonsense, I say, as someone who has both worn tuxedos and been reduced to (borderline) rags, at one point or another. The truth, indeed, is the reverse:That how a man dresses is a reflection of who he is, or, at least, wishes people to perceive his person as. ... Read More

Warehouse Move Redux

Warehouse Move Redux

May 28, 2011 by Sykes Wilford

As many of you know, last weekend we moved our entire shipping and receiving operation out of four rooms spread across two buildings into one 3,500 sq ft space a little down the hill from our other buildings. Our goal was to have absolutely zero service disruption. This required considerable planning. ... Read More

Pipes in Advertising

May 26, 2011 by Adam Davidson

I remember seeing this advertisement over a month ago and just happened across it again this morning while filling up on gas when my cell phone was handy to snap a picture. Pipes were pretty much a standard manly thing to have in advertisements half a century ago; ... Read More

Famous Pipe Smokers: Greta Garbo

"I have been smoking since I was a small boy," Greta Garbo was known to quip. It was a rather unusual statement coming from a Hollywood starlet, yet it was also a sentiment very true to her nature. She was indeed a prolific smoker; cigarettes, cigars, and, yes, even pipes too. ... Read More

When Hundreds of Dollars Depend on Millimeters

When Hundreds of Dollars Depend on Millimeters

April 5, 2011 by Eric Squires

"What's the difference between a $1000 and $2000 briar pipe?" This question actually comes up quite a bit. It's a valid query; we're talking about objects that are all roughly the same size, made of the same materials, which do only one thing: smoke tobacco. So where’s the $1000 dollar difference? ...

No Smoke, No Show

No Smoke, No Show

February 15, 2011 by Kathryn Mann

Blue and yellow lights penetrate drifting whorls of pipe smoke suspended in silence. I can feel the audience's anticipation. A tall man takes the microphone and announces, "Memphis - the moment you have waited for - Clarence Gatemouth Brown." ... Read More

We put a lot of effort into cleaning our estate pipes. And when I say we, mostly I mean Tom and Bill. These guys arrive at the office earlier than all of us just to get a head start on restoring old, often beat up pipes. They're pros. ... Read More

Famous Pipe Smokers: Jacques Brel

Jacques Brel's lyrics teamed with life and the lust for women, wine, and laughter, yet simultaneously they were ominously spiced with a violent awareness of death, estrangement, corruption, obscurity, and oblivion. ... Read More

Misc. Estate: Unknown Baby's Foot with Extended Big Toe

January 27, 2011 by Ted Swearingen

This awe-inspiring and truly magical work of art comes to us from some long forgotten box of oddities likely stashed away for decades in a hateful basement filled with dead dreams. Verily, it is a shame that this pipe, something so beautiful and magnificent, should come to us void of context and without any hint of its heritage. ... Read More
