Radice "Collect" Pictures :: Italian Pipes
Just finished cataloging my most recent acquisition, very satisfied. (The Pipe was bought from Lepipe.it, also very satisfied with their service.) This is my new favorite sandblast (it's not a J.T. Cooke or anything, but probably the best of my collection).

Mixture 79 or throw the pipes away… ? … I sure am going to miss them pipes…?He can always recharge the lucky back to them by smoking some Mixture 79 in them. Me, I’d just throw them away.
If anything most are just too damn small. They seem to be made for the 1935 pipe smoker.
All racks are made wrong. This is the way to store pipes:
It's unadulterated bullshit. And wrong to boot.
Which way should your pipes rest? That depends, do you break your eggs on the small end or the large end? (Extra credit if you know the reference without looking it up)
Why does the top row look like they are hiding from you?
Go home pipes, you're drunk....
They may be embarrassed by living in a converted jewelry box! You'd expect Jesse's pipes to be more sensitive than the average.
I break my eggs pretty much in the middle. Is that wrong?
I read much the same in a book by a French author. He implied the stem down technique should be obvious. I have always stored pipes bowl down on the theory that any residual moisture would drain into the bowl and evaporate.
And serious reply - they are made for display purposes, not like a rack for drying dishes,
Can’t, a little tied down at the moment.
I have two pipe racks. The one on the left is bowl down. The one on the right is bowl up. As long as you clean the pipe after you use it, either ways works. Since I always clean the pipe after smoking, it doesn't matter which end is upright.
I have come to the conclusion that any more racks that I might make in the future for stem-up display, will have the bottoms of those holes chamfered, in the hopes it will aid inserting the things when putting my pipes back in.
Dunno whether that's serious or not, but I josh only those folks who are intelligent and also know I mean no harm. I am hopeful Jesse got a brief chuckle out of the post!
