    Comoys - Transplant a C drilled Stem Logo

    Ding Ding Ding! We have a winner! The very keen eyed @TheIronMonkey has sorted it out. But can he match the C with the pipe? Stay tuned to find out…

    Comoys - Transplant a C drilled Stem Logo

    Correct on two counts. Correct on one count.

    C pictures or pipe pictures?

    Comoys - Transplant a C drilled Stem Logo

    Ok, instead of just posting a picture of one I did and letting everyone pick it apart. Let’s try another exercise, you tell me which C or C’s I did. The closeups are not in the same order as the pipe pics.

    Ghosting Paranoia

    Unless you have a tendency to smoke tobacco you don't like, I wouldn't worry about ghosting to much. I smoke just about anything I like in every pipe I own.

    This is a pretty good place to start. https://www.youtube.com/@highgradepiperepairrestora3182 It's the channel of our very own @georged. He's the best in the biz. If you have specific questions, ask away. There are plenty of folks here who can answer them.

    Two Hundred Dollars?!?

    Pipes are made in a factory by factory workers. Most makers don't make a pipe worthy of a price point they just make pipes, most all equal in quality or lack thereof. They then sell those pipes at a variety of price points arbitrarily with no regard to quality, grain, or anything else. As long...

    Meerschaum Mystery

    Ebonite has been around since the 1850’s, so I’d imagine Cumberland ebonite wasn’t too long after that.

    Meerschaum Mystery

    Those pipes were often not sold with a specific stem, rather the buyer would select from a range of stems and pick one to go with their pipe. So there is pretty good chance they have been together for a long time. And there’s not really a right or wrong stem for one. I would 100% leave them...

    Meerschaum Mystery

    The cork mortise is pretty standard but I think it was threaded at a later date to accommodate that beautiful stem. Cork is an absolutely terrible material to thread. I think that mortise joint could be improved. It’s a fantastic pipe and probably pre 1910. It’s most likely Viennese.

    History of Rustic Pipes

    Rusticated pipes have been around since pipes started being carved in one form or another, it gives the manufacturer/carver a way to reclaim pipes that otherwise had to many surface imperfections or flaws to be smooth. It was the main form of material reclamation prior to the advent of sandblasting.

    Anyone have Dunhill innertubes?

    About the same if I recall, that gives you a bore of 2.1mm.

    Anyone have Dunhill innertubes?

    3mm aluminum tubing, cut it 80mm...

    Anyone have Dunhill innertubes?

    They are pretty easy to make, you can get the tube at the hardware store. Just cut it at a 45d angle at the length you need.

    Comoys - Transplant a C drilled Stem Logo

    I thought of bidding on this one but didn’t in the end. If I had won it I would have just turned a new C for it and notched it.
