Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
No, I bought it immediately when I saw: (1) bowling ball stem, (2) suggestive shape, (3) a pixel or two that may have been a spot, and (4) the $38 was a steal even for seconds-lines of those shapes. There are three Sasieni seconds in there as well.- greeneyes

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
Very interesting! George, was the pipe sent back to England to have this done for a customer? Or was a percentage of the catalogue offered in this way as a matter of choice at the time of purchase? It seems not to be a very common mark.- greeneyes

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
A junk drawer lot with lots of dusty old pipes ... https://www.ebay.com/itm/166413172137 ... and a treasure or two: a 1938 US Patent "bowling ball" Dunhill shape 127. I'm a little unsure what the significance of the "T" before the shape number is.- greeneyes

How Do I Describe This “Damage”
I use these things (below). They scrape out cake, but are fairly harmless against briar. You could not, for example, bore a bowl out with these, nor do what was done in the photos with it. It's possible someone re-bored the bowl, going down once, then going back down a second time after... -
How Do I Describe This “Damage”
The reamers I use aren't capable of cutting back briar wood. This may have been something else. -

This went rather higher than I anticipated, even being (apparently) older than advertised in the listing. https://www.ebay.com/itm/204517450285- greeneyes

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
What bothers me, and it bothers me a lot, are eBay sellers that intentionally mislead potential buyers, insinuating that pipes were made by manufacturers that they weren't made by, filling the internet with conjecture and misinformation all to raise the hammer price on their wares. I won't...- greeneyes

Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes
I have seen one other such pipe that was in the family collection of someone in an English pipe making family. I'm interested to hear what you think the provenance of this pipe is: where and when it was made, and so forth. It's interesting to me because I had assumed that, due to the lack of...- greeneyes

Turkish Latakia?
Medusa Tobacco from Greece use Egyptian Latakia, and the Von Erkom / Wesleys use Ugandan. Quite good actually.- greeneyes

Turkish Latakia?
It rather unambiguously states that it is "incense like Turkish Latakia" after having mentioned the other Oriental/Turkish components in the blend earlier. Thus far I've smoked: Syrian Latakia Cyprian Latakia Egyptian Latakia Ugandan Latakia No surprise to me that Turkey produces Latakia as...- greeneyes

$15 Rare English Pipe Makes News 1946
The pipe would not have been mentioned, as the source is Pipe Lover's magazine. For reasons I assume must have to do with advertising, the brand of pipe (and tobacco) is very, very rarely mentioned within the magazine's pages. Quite conspicuously so. -
Santa Barbara "Smoker"!
It might be productive to "go to them" rather than expect them to "come to you." Members from Santa Barbara may not scour the forum daily, but they likely have alerts on the posts they've authored. https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Apipesmagazine.com+%22santa+barbara%22- greeneyes

Penny Farthing - What's Changed, and When?
Mostly I keep my opinions to myself and vote with my wallet, so to speak. When the tobacco is different but the folks making it tell you it isn't--not much to do about it really. I smoke other tobaccos that, inevitable changes notwithstanding, continue to be outstanding. When things that I...- greeneyes

Penny Farthing - What's Changed, and When?
One of my favorites, or former favorites, was Drucquer Blairgowrie. Too bad my palate changed so radically that I can't reliably taste how exactly identical the current blend is to the one I imagine I loved so much.- greeneyes

Company representative will be along shortly to gaslight you that there have been no changes, with the caveat that any actual changes are due to batch variation.- greeneyes

Worth a Reminder From Time to Time
Whether consciously or not, it takes "translation" from meaning, in the sense that it normally conveyed interpersonally, to one that can be conveyed using a combination of characters and "emojis" that are available for use. A part of preparing this "translation" is ensuring the reduction of any...- greeneyes
