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

Davidson Design Smooth Bell Limited Edition

Davidson Design Smooth Bell Limited Edition

February 6, 2012 by Adam Davidson

After some discussion, it was decided that we wanted to make, or have made, another limited edition run of pipes exclusive to Smokingpipes.com, the only contingency being that we wanted to see produced a significantly larger quantity of pipes than we have in the past. ... Read More

San Diego Visit Continued

San Diego Visit Continued

November 8, 2011 by Sykes Wilford

It's now day two of the get together at Jeff Gracik's workshop in San Diego. I'm still writing live from the scene. In fact, Eric just turned on the disc sander, making the surface upon which I'm typing vibrate rather disconcertingly. It does leave this author feeling particularly connected to his subject matter, though. ... Read More

American Pipe Makers Descend on San Diego

American Pipe Makers Descend on San Diego

November 7, 2011 by Sykes Wilford

Writing this, standing up, at the entrance to Jeff Gracik's workshop, as machines whirr and briar dust flies, conversations on the finer points of tool use are audible over the general din. Jeff asked us out here after the West Coast Pipe Show in Las Vegas, so we find ourselves in a surprisingly cool San Diego in the company of five American pipe makers: Jeff, Brad Pohlmann, Adam Davidson, Ernie Markle and Eric Heberling. ...

Pipe Lessons No. 65 and 66

Part of the fun of the pipe smoking hobby is learning new things, though, admittedly, we are quite often being instructed as much by our mistakes as we are our fellows. Like, don't take apart a pipe while it's hot - that's a rookie mistake I made once upon a time. ... Read More

The Right Time for a Change

The Right Time for a Change

September 19, 2011 by Adam Davidson

For the most part, I'm a Virginia or Virginia/Perique smoker these days and have been for about ten years. When first taking up the briar in college, trips to the local B&M usually took place on a Saturday where there the nice lady, Betsy, would greet me with a smile as I walked in. ... Read More

Navy Flake, Please!

Navy Flake, Please!

September 15, 2011 by Sykes Wilford

I confess it. I have fallen totally in love with Mac Baren Navy Flake. It's weird, though. I've smoked it here and there for years; if a friend offered a bowl when I'd run out of tobacco, or when I was offered tobacco at the Mac Baren factory, or even just because there happened to be an open tin around the office, but I'd never embraced it with any particular alacrity. ...

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

Sebastian Beaud Interview

August 10, 2011 by Sykes Wilford

Back in June, Alyson and I visited Sebastien Beaud, owner of Genod and maker of the Sebastien Beo pipes. We took lots of great video that day and I conducted an interview with Sebastien about Genod, St. Claude, and, of course, the new Sebastien Beo line. Enjoy! ... Read More
