So, I went and did something here, I looked through my lists on facebook, to see if I could find you, Josh. And I have done, and what this allows, what this helps with, is it personalized things - it makes it so it's not just usernames and a keyboard. It's people. You obviously know who I am too, s...

I don't recall seeing the thread here but I did see it mentioned on facebook that Baldo Baldi had died, I don't remember seeing much of a response there. This is primarily an English speak forum, I doubt many here would have had much/any interaction with Baldi or possibly even known the name? I met...

Dude, you are barking up the wrong fucking tree. I posted the link I posted because it's great. It's true. And it's you. You don't think it's you, but it is. You can't just buy the same briar and rod everyone else does, you want an angle. Okay. Have it. But don't expect anyone to care about it. Is ...

Frank, is that you? :shock: It not, you certainly could be. :lol: :lol: :lol: As in, so, you're NOT really leaving because you are insulted or disgusted, and actually DON'T want the board shut down...? Thought so..... Hi LatakiaLover Oh trust me... I do not plan to be posting here much longer. Comi...

This place is Brain Death . Just shut it down. Why coax people to post on here? Italian acrylic rod vs other acrylic rod....what's good???? Shut it down. Maybe leave it up as an closed archive. This lack of participation is insulting to members in general. Why allow people to make accounts if it's ...

There are lots of little variations in hardness and quality. It's not super expensive stuff, so if you can get cast rod locally, great, give it a shot. Find out if they are vendors or manufacturers, and see what they have, and whether it's good enough for pipes. The big deal with pipe stuff is that...

Hello everyone. I'm hoping I can get some feedback on this. I am currently sourcing materials, and I am not sure what to make of acrylic rod being promoted as “Italian”. I know that Italian pipemakers like to use acrylic for the stems, but is there something special about acrylic rod made in Italy, ...

Sorry for the submission. Question answered by fellow forum member in a PM Thank you. Is there only one answer to this question? You bring up a good question, and now I'm curious. I'm guessing the block is shimmed, or maybe, there is some sort of locking mechanism on a lathe or fancy jig that can l...

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have placed an order for three 4oz Fiebing's Dyes, based on the suggestions here: Oxblood, Red, and Black. So for now, all the Fiebing's colours I can work with will be Cordovan, Tan, Dark Brown, Oxblood, Red, and Black. Once I get the Cordovan dye on my first pipe,...

It's a Castello pipe I have had on file for years. I have finished my first pipe, but it still needs a stain/dye, which is currently in the mail being delived. I have the Fiebing's Cordovan coming in the mail (among a couple others), but I don't think this castello pipe is Cordovan. What is it? Oxbl...

Just found out about this an hour ago, and noticed 4 internet sources acknowledging that Italian pipemaker Baldo Baldi died on Wednesday, Feb. 3rd, 2021. "Maurizio Fraternale, from Ser Jacopo, who also represented Baldo's pipes, wrote this on facebook....": "... Dear smoking friends a...

Hello. I am located in Ontario Canada, and whenever I order smoking related items from smokingpipes, and other american online retailers, I am always prepared to get hit with massive duty charges by canada customs officials. It doesn't happen all the time, but it happens a lot, especially when I ord...
