Earlier today someone else forwarded me an email from Rep. Hunter (included below). The situation was definitely odd in that we had been told that the Senate budget would include the cigar lounge bill, and that we needed to put pressure on the House. Lo and behold, the Senate budget came out...

If you haven't called and/or emailed yet, please do it today! It seems we are getting some traction on this. The executive summary is that the Senate budget includes the Senate version of this bill, and if Rep. Hunter includes the House bill in the House budget, there is a VERY good chance...

Nice, well written. Thanks!

Hi everyone, and first, happy International Pipe Smoking Day! On this day, take positive action, and let's do what we can to help support our rights and the rights of fellow Washington state cigar and pipe smokers. House Bill 1683, the Cigar Bar and Cigar Lounge Bill, would allow for special...

The response to the pipe sale that I started in April was gratifying, and I was inspired to make some further selections from what was a ridiculously huge pile of pipes, and is now becoming just a big pile of pipes. I've added somewhere between 25 and 30 additional pipes to the page at...

Howdy! I have a range of clean inexpensive estate pipes for sale. (It seemed most appropriate to post this here in the Pipe Room. Mods, if the title needs to be edited, or the thread moved, please do so, and sorry for any extra work or hassle.) It's a pretty wide range of stuff, mostly GBD...

Jonathan, thanks for all the kind words. I'm very glad you like the pipe. I went a bit crazy when I first started pipe smoking and acquired quite a few estate pipes. I love estate pipes, they comprise almost all of my rotation, but as I've been going through and smoking them, I find I favor...

Thanks. You never know... feel free to make me an offer, if you see something you like. I may sit on it for a few days to see if other folks come around later, as a lot of folks won't be online again until Friday or Saturday, but I'm happy to consider anything reasonable, especially if it...

I was encouraged to get some pipes up for sale by souldog, and so here's what I have. http://www.bobramstad.com/Pipes/ForSale/index.html Take $5 off for each pipe after the first, and any purchase gets 1 oz of Peter Stokkebye Cube Cut tossed in as a bonus. I realize the timing may not be...

I've heard that Mark Tinsky makes nice pipe making kits, much like the Pimo kit. Just FYI.

Sure, that's absolutely no problem, and more generally, I know there aren't that many pipers on this forum, if you are looking for a clean estate pipe, especially if you have a rough idea of what brand or style of pipe you are looking for, feel free to drop me a note, I might have something...

Oh, that's funny. Yeah, this kind of dropped off the face of the planet, didn't it? It's still on my radar, but got put aside for a while. I'm putting an addition on my house (so I can smoke in comfort) and have been coaching a kid's football team for the last three and a half months, so it's...

Actually, yes, but it's not a big deal. There's always something. I think I ended up with 22 people and that's a lot of people. I'm waiting on payments from three, I think. Everyone has been communicating, so I'm sure it'll be fine, and suspect that $$ will turn up soon and the last few...

Vaguely, but it isn't going to be an auction. I'm going to be thinning my active rotatation. These pipes will be clean, ready to smoke, and probably run from around $35 on the low end to probably $80 or so on the top. Not an auction, fixed prices. I suspect I'll be doing that in a couple...

You are welcome. I'm going to be doing a bunch of packing later today, and yours is first on the list...
