39 Cent Missouri Meerschaum Cobs
VirginiaCob - I'm always amazed at the respect you have for MoMeer, even tho you are in direct competition with them. That says a great deal about you, your company, and the respect and love you have for the hobby. My hat is off, sir.- cynyr

My First Dunhill
Very nice sandblast on that piece, and a great price. -
New estate Meer.
Nice, Jason! I'm interested to see how it cleans up, if you decide to. Looks great as it is. -
Preferred Staining Method
I wish I could find a nice golden stain like my Tsuge: I'm hoping Fiebing's light brown will do.- cynyr

A real man's hat
Man, I wish I could wear a classy hat. My noggin is so large and mis-shaped that hats make me look like a pretentious idiot. Great pics, tho, and kudos to the classy guys who can pull off that look.- cynyr

Kaywoodie Topped Dunhill in Price
And remember, those Dunnies had to be imported, and might even have faced a duty. I have heard it said that upper-grade pre-war Kaywoodies were the equal of the Dunhill and sold for about the same price -$15 or so. I dunno. I've never smoked a Dunhill, but I have a couple of older Kaywoodies... -
Preferred Staining Method
I have only used Fiebing's in my short restoration career. As for tips... A. Wear old clothes 2. A little goes a long way.- cynyr

Dr Grabow 9711
Thanks, all. I've got 40-some pipes, a few of them rather expensive, but this Grabow out-smokes them all. -
The Breakfast Club

Good article from Fred, as always. I patronize Smoky's when I can, but haven't been up to G-burg since I picked up the pipe.- cynyr

Dr Grabow 9711
Thanks, Sam - you are exactly right on those numbers. From RJ's Dr Grabow page. I have read that page a dozen times, and never caught that bit of information. -
Dr Grabow 9711
This is a pot Grabow that I picked up in a bag of pipes last year. It was one of my first restorations, and needs to be restored again soon. He's one of my favorite pipes. I mentioned this pipe and the shape number in another post a couple weeks ago, and EJames said he'd like to see the... -
Humble Excellence
+1 Allan-- If it's drilled right and properly constructed, no reason why it shouldn't give a good smoke. I think there is enough variance in machine-made pipes that a great pipe occasionally slips thru the system! :P -
Have Had My Hands Full..... (Pic Heavy!)
Top, as always, thank you for your service. And a big thank you to your bride, as well, for her service - from the pictures of your happy family, she has done "the toughest job" very well. Anyway, thanks for coming by and filling us in. You have been missed!- cynyr

My Home for Unwanted Pipes
I have two Grabows. One is a Crown Duke filter pipe that always satisfies. The second is my current favorite pipe... It's a generic Grabow pot shape, marked "9711". I bought a junk lot of pipes last year, and this one was stuffed in the bag. Took a long time to clean it up, but I was sure... -
How to create the bevel on top of the bowl.
I wondered about this for a long time, and tried to imagine what sort of tool one would need. But Zack tells it like it is - get some paper and get to sanding! A light touch and a lot of patience is the key. My suggestion is to buy up some Missouri Meerschaum hardwood pipes and bend them to...- cynyr
