    Old Gowrie is a good mixer for a blend that needs some mellow.

    Falcon Bowls Wish List

    I always see Meerschaum, Carbon, Briar on ebay. Sometimes a Cob bowl will cross the site but rare. In January a rare bowl sold that was a Cauldron shape I had never seen before. $$ wise they are all over the place on ebay.

    Widening an Estate Pipe Draft Hole

    They sell these in two sizes. I am very confident you can enlarge the draft if you would like. You can't go back though. :) https://www.smokingpipes.com/accessories/pipe-supplies/moreinfo.cfm?product_id=292216

    Extremely High Tobacco Costs in Utah

    Lived it, seen it, despise it. I was lucky to cellar up before the crazies stopped any shipping to Utah. I have enough wonderful Virginia aging away that I no longer buy, unless it is from fellow pipe smokers. I would not be a pipe smoker in Utah if I had to start today, too expensive.

    Buyer Beware: Leftturnvintage On Ebay

    Had this happen to me from JudPerl or whatever his name is. I think it is pretty common and I dont fault the seller. Imagine if you owned a store and someone marked a $300 pair of jeans for $30. I do wish ebay would crack down on the bullshit that they allow. Worst run online busniess ever.

    Any Profit in Restoring Pipes?

    It is competitive. It is frustrating to deal with the evil potential of ebay buyers and sellers. You need some real tooling and training to do top end work. It is more precise and time consuming than it looks unless you are just giving them a quick clean for a re-list. The time it takes to...

    Suggestions for Air Purifier (No Ozone)

    Rabbit Air owner here. It does help but you can still smell it if you haven't been in the house for a while. I suggest smoking cannabis in the house and suddenly the wife won't smell pipe tobacco anymore. "You smoking weed again?!?!?!" No honey, just cleaning an old pipe I got off ebay. The...
