Further question, how do you pack it? with a needle and thread.

That's very funny. It looks like a bargain though.

How does one fit a reamer into that hole? LOL

What always makes me wonder, is who smoked it to that point with out cleaning it?

Who cares, nice pipe and great price.
On second thought...who would do that.... I can't even get cake to build up on mine (though they're young yet)

Nice Winter project.

I wonder how many smokes that thing has had over the years?

Wow. That's always my question too, Johnny. I mean, honestly...how does that happen?

haha I have run across a bunch of bad ones, and one or two that looks almost like that, but that has to be the worst I have seen!
Mason jars and bale top jars, mason jars and bale top jars.... that is all!

Every now and then i get in one almost that bad. That one needs some kind of prize though.

I think the description is a bit of an understatement:

Used: An item that has been previously used. (And used, and used, and used!)

I have had some to restore even worse than that, could not even get a pipe cleaner into them. I think some guys just want to see how thick a cake they can get in them. I like a thick cake but when they get like this one, it's rediculous.

I can only guess what it will taste like to smoke, even after a restoration.

A couple of years ago, I was at a golf tournament and after the banquet at the clubhouse, I stepped outside to schmoke. There was a gentleman loading up a pipe with Sir Walter Raleigh and tamped the pipe with a golf pencil because the cake was that bad. Some people are that way I guess.
cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.......

That pipe is perfect for a 5 min. smoke break. Heck, even if you over filled it, we're talking 6 min. tops.

Two estates that I have restored were not quite that bad, but close.
Looking at them for the first time I wondered why anyone would allow a pipe to get that way, and when I finally got the stems out I was able to narrow it down to two probabilities...at least in the case of those two pipes;
Laziness and/or ignorance, (or to be nicer; lack of knowledge and/or the retention of too many other priorities). The stems and shanks were as nasty as the bowl! I had to literally drill the gum out of them before I could even attempt to start cleaning them up.That much cake is really not that hard to remove, it just takes a few seconds with the old Senior Reamer,....outside in the yard and not on a windy day. (take my word for it, someone elses cake doesn't taste good)..."pluuhg!"

I guess you could assume that she was a good smoker, as someone certainly stayed with her!

I'm glad to see strongirish make the pipecleaner comment. At a weekly carboot sale on Hayling I have seen, a number of times, old pipes that could just about accept a whisker of tobacco.These smokers must simply buy a new pipe and discard the old one! Those pipes are filthy all over;funny people. Mike

I like that type of pipe if it shows no damage. Usually they are very cheap and most can be cleaned up with a bit of effort.

Those pipes can be as low as £1, or pennies Unclearthur; I have only ever got myself one, it has a nice face carved on it. I cleaned it up, got a new stem for it lately but also kept the original stem. Mike

Lol, I've had a few restorations pretty close to that. I even had one pipe that took almost 10 alcohol and salt treatments and damn near a whole pack of pipe cleaners to get it to come out clean(ish) looking.

That pipe will cost an absolute minimum of about $10.00 USC.
It will take a lot of time and effort to refurbish, assuming you already have
the tools and supplies to do it. I wonder if it still has the original
Savinelli filter in it -- welded into the stem.
Well, in the end you have a clean but obviously abused pipe.
At Cup o' Joe's you can have an brand new, utterly pristine pipe for $85.00 -- no waiting.
For the time, effort, expense, and mess involved I think I'll go with a new pipe!

...but then again, I realize there's a lot of hobby interest in rescuing those old relics.I find myself sitting idly on the line dividing past and future,
as if I could kill time without injuring eternity. -- ThoreauPosted 1 year ago # -
NASTY!

That new one is sweet looking!
Posted 1 year ago # -
It's partly the challenge of seeing if you can rescue the really cruddy ones that makes it fun.

I agree with Unclearthur!

Now I want the one at Cup o Joes

@Arthur & Bubba,
Ya, what we get involved in is all about the fun.
I do lots of stuff that only makes sense from that point of view;
and it is nice to see those old clunkers get a new lease on life.Posted 1 year ago # -
Well in the end this pipe went for £14.80 inc postage. Not a bad price for a Savanelli, hope that cake hasn't done any other damage though....
