    What are You Watching? [2024] Please Rate 1-5

    Finale of Shogun is this evening. Last weeks ending was explosive, I'm not sure how they tie a bow on this in one last episode.

    Spotted...In The Wild!

    I was at a British car show last weekend. An old-timer with a stooped back and cane was walking around the cars and smoking a pipe. I asked him what he was smoking and he said "A little of this and that". I said it looks like you have a Peterson there. (it was a Peterson strummel with a Dr...

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I'd definitely have to save the original (I suspect Orlando meant replace & save vs discard it) At a $600 purchase, with a $200 replacement stem,I suppose it would be worth $800 to a collector to own and enjoy it. The scorched rim is that area that's more difficult to fix and retain...

    Agreed. That one still had the plumbing. I'm sure George could replicate a new stem to accept it, but I've found on Patent era Sasieni's smoking with the stinger is too restrictive and too open removed (much like Grand Slam Comoy's). You can overcome the too open draw with appropriate packing.

    I'm surprised someone paid $611 for this rare Sasieni, give its condition. https://www.ebay.com/itm/364842392246?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=trahg3rjr6u&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=AFHCew9iTD6&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    It seemed like a game after the first 20 minutes. Caps are just outmatched. O-4 on the powerplay, we had our chances. I think Ovie had maybe one shot on goal?
