    Mac Baren Scottish

    A Cleaning Question and Another Estate Pipe ID

    I am new to the site but not the hobby. I definitely recommend getting a few cheaper estate pipes to practice on. I love taking an old, over caked, oxidized outcast and making it look new. Also, welcome!

    Cornell & Diehl Morning Drive Time - review

    This is a great review. I like reading these torough reviews almost as much as the smoke. Almost, but not quite.
