    How Old Could this Tobacco Be?

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) The other day I was at an antique shop here in Portland (OR) and as I passed by one of the heavily cluttered booths I noticed inside a cabinet some boxes of Sir Walter Raleigh tobacco that looked old but I readily assumed they were empty... So I...

    Planta Anno MMXV - Brazilian Mixture

    Haha, that's a redundant description since Caipirinha is actually a cocktail with lime, cane sugar and the Brazilian typical sugarcane distilled spirit called cachaça. The tobaccos from the northern part of the country (Bahia) are famous tho, that's where most of the Brazilian premium cigar...

    How to Fix This Brebbia, I Need a Little Help.

    Hahah, I love the “welcome to the land of Italian mid-grades”! Yes, it’s not the most robust design I’ve ever seen... Definitely not worth to going too far to restore it to the way it was. The back ring is gone so I guess I’ll just glue it together and call it good. Thank you for the input.

    How to Fix This Brebbia, I Need a Little Help.

    Of course my memory fails and as I can see from the picture of the one on eBay, it wasn't just a simple straight tenon connecting those two pieces. You can see the black ring between the two pieces of wood... And that's why I'm saying it would look as it was.

    How to Fix This Brebbia, I Need a Little Help.

    Hi Buzkirk, the part that broke is gone but it was basically a separate tube connecting the bowl and that intermediary wood part. mso489 says it's a ferrule. I'll take that.

    Hey Mike, thank you. Where would be a good place to find that kind of material ?

    How to Fix This Brebbia, I Need a Little Help.

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Hey guys, I had this Brebbia for quite a few years and it had a little crack on the stem, that connects that wood part to the bowl... The crack grow bigger over time until it broke completely so I finally put the pipe in a box where it has been...
