    Very Vintage Rattrays Black Mallory

    So a few months back I picked up a sealed vintage tin of Black Mallory at an antique shop. Assuming it would not be smokable I waited for my next club meeting to open the tin with the fellas for some fun. To our surprise it was perfectly fresh and smokable…absolutely amazing smoke enjoyed by...

    Photo of my pipe by Woo. Love the pipe. Great stem and bit, beautiful piece of briar, lovely smoker. Also, a big fan of the nomenclature being a Los Angeles area resident.

    Show Us your Zippo Lighter

    Armor Sterling, Armor Brass and solid copper. The copper zippo with leather case came from the Sante (fishnbanjo) collection back in 2019, a special heirloom.

    Old Peterson Donegal Rocky ??

    There are Hallmarks under the words Sterling Silver. As you stated, it looks like a small c (although a better pic of the hallmarks might help). That being said, small c is 1970 which seems in line with others comments.

    Peterson Supreme Sandblast Pipes!

    Got lucky in mid March and snagged this 106. Put about 7 or 8 bowls through it and it’s coloring nicely so far. Love it! Great smoker and no issues.

    Really Like This Style of Sandblast!

    Love this style of blast also! Hard to find a good blast over birdseye. I have this Todd Johnson Blowfish with a birdseye blast that is unique.

    My Murf Pipe

    Prices literally range from $100 to $1000. Murf is a reasonable and responsive guy so if something is of interest drop him a message. My pipes pictured were below mid range of his pricing to give you an idea. In my opinion very affordable for the work that went into them and the quality of the...

    My Murf Pipe

    I am a member of the Central Coast Pipe Club in California and one of our members is an extremely talented artists and pipe maker. His carving work is just amazing. Murf hand carved this pipe with 27 tiny skulls all the way around the bowl. Great smoker. Just wanted to share.

    Moonshine Cannonball

    Just got the Morta but first impression is consistent with the others. Love to clench these pipes they fit perfectly for me. Tend to reach for the sandblast most often.

    Comoy’s Special Question

    Question for the resident experts on Comoy’s. I have this little Comoy’s Special with amazing 360 degree straight grain. It’s markings tell me it’s older but it does not appear to be a 3 part “C” on the metal reinforced stem. However, stem appears to be original. What is a “Special”? Is this an...
