    I need some help to identify this pipe.

    The stamp appears to be in a modern font. I wonder if it is a smaller known pipe maker. Might check the local area from where the pipe came.

    Wiping mouthpiece with wet wipes and sanitizer alcohol?

    On a couple of estate pipes, I have gotten I used alcohol on the stems to clean them. Which really brought forth oxidation that was in the stems. I had to put a lot of work into rubbing out the oxidation after using alcohol on them. Just a heads up on that.

    Won a Beautiful Estate Meer - Restoration Advice Welcome

    I don't think I would attempt a restore on the cracks myself. It appears that the cracks are dark colored from the long periods of use with the build-up of tobacco matter in the cracks.

    What is the best strike Matches you have found?

    In comparison what I found is bigger dia sticks, heads of match larger with a non-chemical smell or taste to them, and a much longer burn time before running the length of the match. The problem was not knowing who makes them since the box is rebranded. Really good match though I was very...

    What is the best strike Matches you have found?

    The other day I was at a local B/M smoke shop. They had the best matches I have ever used. The employee did not know where the owner got them. What a dream match thou to use to light a pipe. They were rebranded with the store logo and info so unable to tell who makes them. So my question what is...
