    Show Off The Favorite Pipe Lighter Of Yours

    Amazing stuff reading about those old lighters, I didn't know they had those butane systems available back in the 40's.

    A Couple of Brands I Didn't Know: Ropp / T. Cristiano / Amphora

    Embers Are his pipes good? I mean, is he considered a good pipemaker? I found this one incredibly beautiful. scloyd Yes, they're a subsidiary of Savinelli and also make beautiful pipes, I've found one for $35.

    A Couple of Brands I Didn't Know: Ropp / T. Cristiano / Amphora

    I found affordable pipes from those brands and all of them cost near the same thing ($45-47.50). How would you rate those brands / pipe makers? Here are some links/pictures Ropp https://www.smokingpipes.com/pipes/new/Ropp/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=317085 T. Cristiano...

    Russian/Soviet Pipe For Sale Here... Could Anyone Identify it or its Wood Type?

    :rofl: It's so deeply carved that no wire wool can remove it! Hardcore stuff! :lol: I agree, and now that I know that big foreign websites sich as Smokingpipes.com deliver worldwide, I'll check it out!

    Russian/Soviet Pipe For Sale Here... Could Anyone Identify it or its Wood Type?

    Just a regular mat dark brown pipe with the communist symbol. I'm not a communist by the way [not that it matters], but since I only smoke pipes in my bedroom... there would be no risk of someone mistaking me for a communist pipesmoker on the streets! :rofl:

    Russian/Soviet Pipe For Sale Here... Could Anyone Identify it or its Wood Type?

    @Cosmic I was actually thinking of buying this. A Soviet pipe would be something rare so it got me interested, but after reading that... I will pass. Will keep looking for something good. Does Pipesandcigars deliver worldwide?

    Russian/Soviet Pipe For Sale Here... Could Anyone Identify it or its Wood Type?

    The owner says he doesn't know anything about pipes. It's cheap ($30). If you guys cannot identify it, could you at least guess if it's made of briar or something else? Here's a pic of it (no political debates please, it's just a Soviet pipe): Thanks

    So THAT'S What Real Tobacco Tastes Like....

    This tobacco is amazing! It's like those 80% chocolates with cocoa ground beans and a coffee flavor.

    Tobacco Recommendations for Someone Who Doesn't Seem to Enjoy Latakia

    Both are great! Tasted them first yesterday, and kept puffing today. The HH Burley flake caught my attention more (especially when very dry), but Viprati is amazing too. The Burley Flake reminds me of chocolate with a hint of coffee. I smoke it drinking chocolate-flavored coffee... Overkill...

    Abrasive Steel Wool To Polish Your Pipe?

    The previous picture was taken with a weak light. This one now in the morning is better. It shows that the finish isn't matt anymore. Not glossy, but not matt.

    Abrasive Steel Wool To Polish Your Pipe?

    After sandpaper, removing the oil, and using the wool, that's the result. Clearer, and just a tad shinier. Not great, but better.

    Butz-Choquin Samba - Help With Identifying The Exact Model

    It looks way older than most Butz-Choquin Samba from nowadays. Could anyone help me identifying the exact model of this pipe? It's an unsmoked estate costing $45, and the normal prices are $85. It seems to be a good deal, I'd like opinions on this too... If possible.

    Abrasive Steel Wool To Polish Your Pipe?

    Yes I did. Will it "un-swell"?

    Abrasive Steel Wool To Polish Your Pipe?

    I'm satisfied with the cleared look of the pipe right now after using the sandpaper. I don't think I will try to make it glossy anymore. Any possible reasons on why the stem became tighter?

    Estate Savinelli Extra 2007 - Meerschaum Bowl, or Reamed Bowl?

    If this is an older Samba, it probably has more value than the common Sambas. Great deal or not?

    Abrasive Steel Wool To Polish Your Pipe?

    I used sandpaper first, and the colour became clearer. I liked the looks. But I took most of the oil off because it was too slippery... Should I try it again and wait more time for it to dry?

    Abrasive Steel Wool To Polish Your Pipe?

    It gets slippery... I tried it just now. It dries, but still get a bit slippery. Does it dry more within a couple of hours? And the stem is also tighter.

    Abrasive Steel Wool To Polish Your Pipe?

    This is my pipe as it is now. I just want it a little more shiny.

    Abrasive Steel Wool To Polish Your Pipe?

    Does it work or will it damage the briar? From a thread I've read, I've heard of brushing wheels, but I don't know if the abrasive ones are acceptable for this purpose. It seems that it's the only thing I have available here at home (abrasive kitchen steel wool). Would rubbing a cloth soaked in...
