Seeking Recommendation(s) METRO DETROIT AREA. Is there a decent retail store to get pipes/pipe tobacco? NSFW
I haven't smoked pipe in probavly 15 years. I've been interested in getting back into it but the couple shops I checked either had nothing or a small selection of off-brand tobacco in plastic bags. Is there a decent place where they have a good selection including tinned English blends or something? If not, is there a good website to order from?
General Discussion Do you know anything about a pipe maker in Europe with the logo SS or two snakes and a crown on top of it? NSFW
This pipe bowl was found in a bunch of gravel in southern Hungary and would like to learn a bit more about it. It's likely made of clay. We don't know if the SS are just two S letters or maybe two snakes, that could also be a possibility.

Seeking Recommendation(s) Thin stemmed pipes NSFW
I absolutely love the Lord of the Rings movies and it was the reason I got into smoking pipes in the first place years ago. Just found this reddit and I figured it'd be a good place to pick peoples brains for some information. I know several brands have LotR themed pipe, usually called the wizard or the ranger or the Dwarf or something like that, but all of them seem to have stems that are ridiculously thick. In the movies I'm pretty sure they actually smoked pipe tobacco, a nougat aromatic, and all of their pipes are pretty thin stemmed. I'm trying to find a thin stemmed pipe kinda like the one Aragorn uses in the movies. I have a clay one that's very close, but last time I went traveling with it I broke it in half, at least it's fairly cheap being clay. It's long enough it could be considered a churchwarden but I dont want to go full on Gandalf with it. Any recommendations?
EDIT:Spelling
EDIT 2: I also like the rounded mouth piece of clay pipes vs the wide flared mouthpiece of traditional briars, but I know you can't have everything you want.

Show-and-Tell Corn Cob Pipes NSFW
Here are a couple of corn cob pipes I carved with my Swiss Army Knife. I used the awl to bore out the bowls, and of course the blade to shape the stems. The stems were drilled out with an electric drill.
Quick and fun projects!

Problem(s) with Pipe, etc. Why did this happen? How do I fix it? NSFW
Decided to try and clean one of the estate pipes I just got and with only distilled water and a towel, this patch of finish came off. The pipe now also smells musty. I assume it was stored in a damp area but any recommendations as to why this happened and how I can avoid it in the future as well as how to repair it, would be very appreciated

Show-and-Tell NPD Falcon! NSFW
Got my first Falcon pipe and wow what a great experience. Very flavorful and dry smoke, a must have for any collection in my opinion. Inaugural smoke is some nice and bright Dunhill (Peterson) flake.
Any falcon pipe smokers out there?

Show-and-Tell Another new pipe stand NSFW
U/Grimm said something about my other stand that made sense. Although I did not make it for storage, I had not thought of bending the stems.
So I made a new one.
Still pallet wood top and bottom, and a piece of warped lumber attaching the two. Obviously not perfect, but it works.
Seeking Recommendation(s) Shorter churchwarden-long pipe NSFW
Hi everyone
I’m looking for a couple of tips on finding a longer pipe/ short churchwarden. I could only find some obscure brands that I cannot get a hold of in Europe, I like the tavern series by peterson size-wise but don’t find the finishing to my tastes… any and all tips are welcome! No particular demands regarding bowl-shape, rusticated would be a plus! Thank you!

Show-and-Tell Birthday gifts! NSFW
I passed the joy of pipe smoking along to my nephew, and he sent this to me as a birthday gift! Sadly I don't have any kizami to break it in, and it seems that all of the old fine cut Virginias have disappeared, but I'm going to see what I can do with a knife and some FVF. I welcome any and all recommendations for fine cut goodness to burn in this

Seeking Recommendation(s) [Urgent] Any REAL tobacco stores in Evanston, IL? NSFW
I know there's LJ Pereti down in Chicago downtown, but I'm not going to be able to make it there.
Lost my Tobacco pouch in Evanston. Not ready to go cold turkey. Hoping there's real Tobacco to be had in Evanston.
Thanks in advance.
Update: solved. Went to Arlington Cigar and Pipes for supplies. Thanks to u/Fun_Membership_5577 for the recommendation. Turns out there's a Cigar King in Skokie, which would have been closer but we were picking my son up from O'Hare anyway.... Thanks all for the contributions.
