    I’ve never seen that setting. I’ll have to look more closely. Thanks.

    Fraud Buyer Alert

    They bid and won, and paid immediately. What was I supposed to do???

    Fraud Buyer Alert

    I’m good, but thank you. I won the appeal, so all is well in the end.

    Fraud Buyer Alert

    Do not sell to this buyer. They bought a Sasieni pipe from me, then claimed I sent her a pair of shoes. She requested a return, meaning she was going to send me back a pair of shoes, keep the pipe I sent, and get the money she paid back! I won the appeal. Be careful out there!

    No. All have been removed. I may still have one laying around if it makes a difference.

    FS: 4 Sasieni Pipes - Family Era 10/30/25

    Okay, it doesn’t look like these are drawing any interest. I will leave them up for a couple more days, then put them on the Bay if I don’t hear from any of you.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    2017 F&T Cut Blended Plug in a Sasieni Mayfair. I have a 3 day trip to West Virginia coming up this weekend on the bike. This will be one of the pipes traveling in my saddlebag.

    For the initial smoke in the new Jesse Jones Acorn I chose Dan Hamborger Veermaster, of course.

    Castello

    I agree that it’s likely from the 1950’s. Trademark is Castello’s lowest graded smooth pipe, regarding grain. “Castello” is mid-grade and “Collection” higher grade. I’ve never had a bad Castello! Nice pick up!

    New Jesse Jones Handmade

    I just received my latest commission from Jesse. A sandblasted bent Acorn. In my opinion another masterpiece by an incredible carver. The 3rd photo is the Fab 5 all together. #Blueroombriars
