I'm not sure where you are in your pipe hobby journey, but next time you are near St. Charles, stop by John Dengler Tobacconist = 700 S. Main St., in Old St. Charles. He has a quaint little B&M there and is very knowledgeable. Also, there is a St. Louis Pipe Club. I have met a few of the guys at the annual St. Louis pipe show held every February. You can receive loads of hands-on learning from them. Because their meeting location is quite a distance from Granite City, I have never made their meetings, but you might want to check them out as well. Hope this helps...

@opipemam Tnx buddy. Initially I could have been classified that stummel as a cutty (bowl angled out, higher rim in front than back, etc.), but since I had to cut 1/2" off the shank... not sure.… (View Post) -

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
After I retired, I saw no reason to shovel my driveway unless I absolutely positively had some place to go; which usually is almost nonexistent...😉 (View Post)
