Now that the worst of summer is, we hope, behind us and fall is coming up fast we decided to clean house a bit to make room for new inventory. For the rest of the month, we are having a clearance sale. You can find over a dozen high-quality briar pipes at huge discounts. Pipes […]
A word about add-ons on the product pages
We have tried to make it easier to order extra stuff right on the product page. If you want pipe cleaners with your pipe, you can click an add-on when you order the pipe. You won’t have to search for a pipe tool or pipe cleaners elsewhere on the site. Also, when you buy add-ons […]
Our new resin pipe resonates with the past.
Why our new resin pipe resonates with the past. As I write this pipe review I’m smoking our new resin pipe. I recall another resin tobacco pipe, a Hilson Fantasia churchwarden, I owned many years ago. At the risk of dating myself, well ‘risk’ may not be the right word – ‘prospect” would be better […]

Website changes coming
We launched this version of our website back in mid-2014. We pretty much like how it displays and how the shopping cart works, at least we did until recently. Lately we’ve noticed some odd cart behavior when the browser is something other than Firefox. In Microsoft Edge and in Chrome when you click Proceed to […]
Free shipping on orders over $50.00 (limited time)
We are lowering the threshold for Free Shipping from $79 down to $50.00. For a limited time every order over $50.00 will get free shipping to any U.S. destination. It appears that we have resolved the issue of the missing First-Class shipping option when a order will fit in a small box and weighs under […]
New in stock alert notification available
We carry a lot of pipes and accessories and sometimes they sell out. Usually we can get them back in stock in a relatively short period of time, but we know it can be disappointing if the item you want is not available. We have added a new feature that will, we hope, alert you […]
