    Should I have this 1950 Dunhill Shell Restored? (Pic Heavy)

    Nice pipe and should go very nice through the restoration. Have you already found a restoration service?

    How Many Blends Do You Have Open?

    2, sometimes 3. One aromatic and one... more practical: English mixtures or things like this :-)

    Probably No One Here Owns Any Pipe Made by Roger Wallenstein

    They look contradictory. Not sure if I want to smoke one of these ones... Certainly, I don't refuse them as a kind of art :-)

    northern briars?

    Handmade by Erik Nording?

    Handmade by Erik Nording?

    Hello, does anyone knows when the grading system was changed by Nording? I am afraid that's the only way to evaluate the age of pipes from 200-600 series. Thanks for any directions!

    Need Help Identifying My Pipe

    Yes, this is Java Moscow too. In such a case I'd like to add another one to this topic. It's here already restored but not completely polished yet

    Need Help Identifying My Pipe

    Hello, I just saw you question, therefore this advice might be too late, pardon. The pipe nomenclature says "Java (like the Island) Moscow 2D (that's the shape number)". Also we can read on the label "Style: The Lion Wood. The root of briar 3 rubles 30 kopeks" "Java Moscow" was the famous...

    Brand New Peterson Aran Poor Drilling?

    I had 1950-s Comoy bent with the same specific. So far I don't think it's an issue.

    Finally Had My First Pipe Smoke Today

    My warmest congratulations! It's a thing which can happen only once in the life and many people never know this attraction. You're lucky! :-)

    Has Borkum Riff Changed ?

    So far I thought Borkun is quite acceptable kind of aromarics. What could be wrong with their mixtures, if some of us are not satisfied with the smoke? Or do I understand something wrongly?

    46 Pipes are Enough

    46 is definitely enough for a normal smoker. Of course if he never ever will visit pipe shops, look at pipes in the Internet and allow someone else to count these pipes :-)

    How To Repair A Cracked Bowl?

    Obviously the super glue is a glue, but as far as it's about the chamber I am not sure. It's not healthy enough to fix something inside the chamber with any chemical substances... Another question if it's a single issue with the pipe? I would firstly ream and clean it and the it will be more...
