    James Upshall Pipes - A Discussion

    Thank you all for such the fantastic topic! I found it while looked for information regarding dating of James Upshall pipes and received answers almost to all my questions and a lot of valuable details about Upshall, Charatans and people who were being created those legends.

    It's not just in great shape, it's unsmoked. So far... :-)

    One of OXFORD Pipes

    This unsmoked pipe became a subject of a special investigation. Many more and less known manufacturers applied the "Oxford" stamping on their pipes: Wilczak & Colwell mention S. MC Lardy, Sasieni, J. Redman, Hall & Fitzgerald, Carrington, Orlik and even GBD! Pipephil refers to Wilczak & Colwell...

    When it Becomes About Enjoyment a Tip for New Pipe Smokers

    I would be interested to watch a "pipe smoking boxing". And I am afraid I would worry more about pipes that about sportsmen :roll:

    Thoughts On Repair Bands

    As another one who set several bands, I must remark there shouldn't be any difference in smoking qualities, but of course there's a matter of an aestetic preference. On the other hand a properly banded shank won't broke again for sure :-)
