    Need Replacements for McC Flaked VA.

    "Best to have loved and lost" I quite understand this. I have been at this for quite some time. Been smoking a pipe since late 90s. I have loved many english blends that have gone by the way side such as Bohemian Scandal and a few others. I just should have stocked up when I had the chance. I...

    Need Replacements for McC Flaked VA.

    I dont think any of those come close to Dark star. Golden Glow was just too light in flavor I have St James flake, and it has been quite some time since I have tried Fvf.

    New Ferndown headed my way.

    My tudor root is my heart throb. It has the basketweave band with the tapered cumberland stem. This pipe will match it as well as match my antique bark bent billiard with the cumberland stem and engine turned band.

    New Ferndown headed my way.

    Well here is a new Ferndown headed my way. I am not big on saddle stems so after I receive it I am sending it back of to my good Friend Les Wood who has agreed to put a new tapered cumberland stem on it for me. This excites me as I am really needing it for my Ferndown collection.

    Two New Ferndown Pipes- Pictures

    Yes Les has slowed way down and Dolly has been aff3cted by arthritis in her hands pretty badly, so pipes will not be that common any more. What you will see is one place get some in once and a while. I think there are three shops in the world that they are still making pipes for. I plan on...

    Two New Ferndown Pipes- Pictures

    Gee I have a feeling I know where you got them from. M8chael is a great friend of mine and he got them from me. It's good to meet one of his pipe club members and friends. Back story is they are brand new from Les with autographed pipe socks. They are spectacular pipes, but I don't have any...
