The Most Awful Smelling Wally Frank in the World
kcghost: you got that one right. I acquired an old Peterson #207 Pot, for $20 CDN. She's a big ol' beast and she need TLC; but after a restoration effort, she's my favourite "Big Fat Mama'.... Speaking as a blues musician of course. She smokes real fine, and after some research and an email...- Scully

The Most Awful Smelling Wally Frank in the World
I do all the same things everyone else here does. I use the alcohol/salt process too, however, I had a couple of old darlings that were just plain bad. I used a 50/50 mix of activated carbon/coarse salt, and Everclear, topped it up a couple of times, and let it sit overnight. The next day I...- Scully

Mystery Pipe... Calagal
Luckily for me, it came with the original bag and the box, and it was purchased a store called 'The Smoke Stack', and there's a $30 on the price sticker inside the lid of the box, and as well as one the end.

City Club Pipes... Any info at all is appreciated
Howdy Folks; Greetings from balmy Calgary Alberta. I acquired a batch of pipes about a year ago (about the same time I joined the forum), and they were in 'original' condition, so I decided I'd start to clean, repair and/or restore them. I've smoked a pipe for over 40 years, so I have a very...- Scully

Oppenheimer & Co., Limited, the owners of Cadogan Investments, Ltd. Calagal is not a 'Peterson' or 'Stanwell', etc... by any...- Scully

Mystery Pipe... Calagal
I acquired this pipe in a little trading, and I've been trying to find out who the manufacturer was, and some idea of the decade it came from. It's a Calagal in made in Italy. It's a beautiful pipe, walnut stummel, with a wide stem. It's got a beast of a bowl on it, so it'll be good for those...- Scully

Hi from Scotland 🏴
Welcome aboard from Alberta, Canada. You'll find this to be an informative, forum. Lots of good people that have been pipers for a long time and some folks that are new as well; so it's a good mix. I don't use filters in my pipes these days; I did when I started smoking a pipe in early 80's...- Scully

How to Prepare Plug Pipe Tobacco
When I was a kid there was an older gent (an old Scotsman; John Alex MacLeod - nothing Scottish about that) who lived next door (about a mile away), and he smoked plug tobacco, and he used to carve it off the plug with a small pocket knife as he sat at the end of the old wood stove, and push it...- Scully
