A Smokingpipes Thanksgiving 2012

A Smokingpipes Thanksgiving 2012

November 16, 2012 by John Sutherland

This week saw our annual company Thanksgiving. Tradition dictates that Adam cook the turkey, but this year he upped the ante, delivering not one but two birds... and a ham. The rest of us pitched in with assorted side-dishes and desserts, while productivity ground to a screeching halt (and remained below par for the rest of the work day). ... Read More

Chicago 2012

May 14, 2012 by Ted Swearingen

The Chicagoland International Pipe & Tobacciana Show is an orgiastic smorgasbord of some of the finest tobacco pipes ever made, past and present. Technically speaking, this year the event began on Saturday morning and ran through Sunday afternoon, and was prefaced on Friday by a short pre-show event held in the Smoking Tent just adjacent to the show room floor proper. ...

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. ...

IPCPR Vegas in Video

July 25, 2011 by Ted Swearingen

And now as a supplement to Sykes' last post regarding our time at the Vegas show, here's a spiffy video for your enjoyment. Cheers! There are some amazing new blends coming, but I don't want to spoil that particular fun when they arrive. It was a hugely successful show for us and we had an absolute blast at the same time. ...

IPCPR Vegas in Review

IPCPR Vegas in Review

July 25, 2011 by Sykes Wilford

Ted, Susan, Bill and I returned from Las Vegas this weekend, after eight days of whirlwind inspection, sampling and buying of much of what the pipe, tobacco and cigar world has to offer. An exhaustive narrative of the show would be both extremely long and pretty boring, so I wanted to hit some highlights: ... Read More

West Coast Pipe Show 2010

November 12, 2010 by Sykes Wilford

Alyson and I arrived fairly late on Friday in Las Vegas, at the Palace Station Hotel & Casino, site of the 2010 West Coast Pipe Show. This was the second year of the show, and the first time I'd attended, since Tony and Bear went last year. ... Read More

Party Time at Smokingpipes

Party Time at Smokingpipes

September 30, 2010 by Ted Swearingen

Here we are, on the eve of the Richmond CORPS show, hosting a small get together of friends, family, and special guests. We've had a wholesome supper of 'Southern' food and for dessert Jeff made peach cobbler. Excitement is in the air. ... Read More

Danish Chronology Trip Overview Part Four

Danish Chronology Trip Overview Part Four

August 22, 2010 by Sykes Wilford

In keeping with the previous theme, I'm further obfuscating the Danish chronology by finishing blogging about that trip half way through our blogging about the IPCPR show in New Orleans that took place almost two weeks later. ... Read More

IPCPR 2010, New Orleans, Part 2

IPCPR 2010, New Orleans, Part 2

August 15, 2010 by Sykes Wilford

Stepping back to a couple of weeks ago for a moment, when Kevin Godbee and I were in Denmark in late July, we established, finally and definitively, that Dunhill tobaccos would be coming back to the United States in September or October. ... Read More
