While I haven't been on in a while...I just noticed, after checking Ron's website, that if you are in the market for a GREAT pipe...this is the time to check out RdPipes website...HUGE SALE.
We have some great carvers on this site...and Ron is certainly one of them...and you know I am a big fan of great local carvers, but as Ronv69 has said...this is the time to get one of Ron's fabulous pipes.....just adding my .02 cents worth.

If I weren't already up to 8 pipes from him, I'd be adding one of these for that price.

His style and craftsmanship has always been outstanding. His pipes smoke like the proverbial dream. A 7-day set of Ron's pipes would cause me to sell off the other pipes (with the exception of Cramps pipe). Yup, even my beloved old Comoys would be for sale. |

Yep, between Ron and Jason's pipes the only other briar seeing any smoking time is the Radice.  I do still smoke MM Cobs close to 50% of the time though ... just can't beat them stuffed with Burley. |

This fellows been on his site since February and at that price, I'm biting.   Yeah, at that price you can't beat it. I really like it but packing 5 boxes and still having more to pack is eye opening. |

Still too pricy for me, not that I think they're too expensive.
I hope he does well here. He was struggling for a while.

He's doing fine. He just had a bunch of pipes that weren't selling. He smashed his thumb and won't be able to make any more for a few days.

I have one RD, and it's a great smoker. Does anyone know why he left the forum? I miss him.

If it was just one person I'd personally just ignore it. I miss seeing his work on here.

It wasn't any of you. And he said that it's mostly him anyway. Leave him alone and buy his pipes! 😁😈🤠

I knew it. I can be a real pain in the arse. ...now go and apologise! Ron is a great guy and makes beautiful pipes - my next new pipe will probably be one of his. It's a shame how one bad apple can kill your enjoyment of a forum. I'm here for the same reason that Ron is elsewhere, and it's sad to hear I won't get to have discussions with him here. By the way, I think it's good that the perpetrator is unknown. I had a horrible time with a moderator on a forum twenty years ago, and eventually gave up and left his forum. I heard from him last week (he had forgotten who I was), asking me about something else related to the forum, and we had a great exchange. He actually seems like a great guy. People make mistakes, have bad days, grow up, whatever. |

I always do. Opted for the buzz cut after the factory hit 110°F a few days ago. The last time I took a trimmer to my head it looked like this. I like the way you've listed so many tobaccos in your profile. As a retired programmer, I've wondered how feasible it would be to create something where you could input a list of tobaccos you like, and have it spit out some recommendations. I have a plug of Salty Dogs I was thinking of opening next - it's looking like a good idea now, based on the rest of your list. |
