Losing a favorite pipe is like losing a good friend, especially when you can't find one as good- here is my lost pipe- anyone recognize the maker? I have been looking for an identical pipe for 10 years with zero luck. It was wide and somewhat flat on the bottom- I loved the smoke, how it felt in my hand- losing this pipe was like losing a good friend.

I lost the pipe one day when getting out of my car- my pipe must have fallen out of my pocket into the street- needless to say, when i realized my favorite pipe was lost, I was crushed. I have other pipes, but none are the same

I just shipped a similar pipe off to Smokingpipes.com to be evaluated for trade in. It was a Stanwell squashed tomato.

Send them a message and you should be able to get it cheap from them.

I would just send an email to smokingpipes.com at info@smokingpipes.com and ask them for the one I just sent them. Just tell them you are looking to acquire the Royal Danish 992 squashed tomato that was just sent to them by D. Krause.

It looks like a Stanwell squashed tomato. Google it & you will probably find one.

good luck to you sir, i hope you are able to replace it. i lost a pipe that was a gift from my wife and daughter. the pipe was lost for ~ 2 years. one day a friend of mine said to me here is your pipe, he had found it under the seat in his van. i was very excited and happy to have that pipe back in my hands. i never said a thing to my wife or me daughter.

Titantic: My buddy, in NJ, is selling all of his pipes. He has an unsmoked Stanwell in that shape. PM me your email and I'll get you in contact with him (he sold Harris his Ruthenbergs and a Rad Davis, I bought my Comoys 499 from him).

That is the shape my buddy has, he'll make you a better deal than that one will end up (plus, unsmoked).

I think Rigoletto makes a pipe similar to that P&C has a few in stock I just checked they are not identical but similar and I have never smoked a Rigoletto so I am not sure how they smoke.
