That stem doesn't look bad at all. Fill the cloverleaf with white epoxy then sand down to surface level. Give the entire thing a polish.- recoilrob

Question about shipping insurance using Tinbids.

Tinbids Experiences?
I posted elsewhere about questions I had for Tinbid relating to selling items, who insures it, what happens if it goes lost. I did not get satisfactory answers, they were very evasive and then changed their position. Question about shipping insurance using Tinbids. :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion...- recoilrob

Is this Mold?
Pressed Virginias often show some sugar crystals when aged. I wouldn't worry too much.- recoilrob

No letter to give a clue to...- recoilrob
