    I found some good prices for new IM Corona Old Boy's from Smoke Direct r_athey123 on eBay out of Britain. A very highly rated dealer and he has good prices on his items and right now with the British £ being down to the Dollar it's making the prices even better. I just ordered one and hope to...

    King's Ransom Pipes???

    Does anyone have any information on "King's Ransom" pipes? So far all I can find is a very loose possible connection to Comoy's. Thing is it lacks any markings to confirm this connection. No classic "C" inlay in stem, stem is marked "KR". The pipe in question is a sand blasted Oom Paul...

    Ozone Treatments And Vulcanite

    I have seen many comments in here about using ozone generators to sterilize and ghostbust pipes. I actually bought a pipe that had this done as part of the cleanup. I do know from dealing with tires and other rubber based goods that the one thing that is truly bad for the is exposure to...

    Savinelli Cadet 3013

    I have a pipe in my personal collection that I am curious about as information seems very hard to find. It's an unsmoked Savinelli Cadet, a real one as it seems that some are just marked Cadet without the Savinelli name. It's a four digit pipe shape number 3013. It's a very petite pipe, I think...

    My new Jansen's of N.O. Oom Paul!!!

    I am have been looking for a jaw hanger and like the Oom Paul shape and found one from at the time an unknown maker. Thankfully I am a new member here and found some very positive reviews of the pipes that were sold by Jansen's of New Orleans. I found it on e-bay being sold as a used estate...

    Refreshing script on briar and stems?

    First off is it ethical to touch up the script on a pipe? I have some old pipes that are in pretty good shape that I plan to clean and gently refurbish but some have already been over polished or have shallow markings here and there. If it is ethical to try and deepen these original marks how...

    Anyone know who makes OVTC's Old Virginia Flake???

    I am a fairly new smoker, less than two years, but I am finding my tastes are leaning away from aromatics to more traditional non aromatics. I bought a couple of ounces of Old Virginia Tobacco Company's Old Virginia Flake and find it very enjoyable. Thing is I am on very limited budget right...
