My Pipes
The Dunhill with the cracked bowl, looks like someone filed it open. Its not a gaping crack. I think it cracked, they made it so it wouldn't go any further by filing it. Or they were going to repair it and lost their nerve. I have several busted stummels I can use to make some briar dust. I'll...- Rigidman

My Pipes
I tried to let the markings show. Not sure if you can read anything, but figured the ones with markings on the stems would be easy to tell what they are.- Rigidman

My Pipes
He actually had about 6-8 pipes. I kept the 2 bent pipes. My son has the rest. They're all straight pipes. 1 is a meer lined Whitehall(?), a Grabow, and a Medico. I think the last one was just another Italian shop pipe. There are 2 more but 1 is just a stummel with a busted shank and the other...- Rigidman

My Pipes
If you look in the last row, there's a pipe that the stem is on top of the others. A black rusticated one with a straight cream colored stem that looks like it should be bent. Is that the right stem? I think its a Jobey Stromboli. Its a screw in stem. Don't recall if there's a model number. But...- Rigidman

My Pipes
If you look real close some of the stems aren't stuck in all the way. They're tight. Some have a sticky substance on them. Others are over clocked. Many gems in there. With Kaywoodies, Grabows, Choquins, Savellis, and shop pipes. But some look really nice. When they're all clean and waxed...- Rigidman

My Pipes
Ok, so I decided to just show the pipes I have that need cleaning and minor stem work at this time. There aren't any chips missing on the stems. Some may also need some refinishing. The 2 Dunhills actually need repairs. The large one has a cracked shank. The small one has a cracked bowl. I have...- Rigidman

The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!
I'm considering one of those humidor tables. Maybe just make a giant humidor out of a cabinet. Line it with cedar, put latches on it with a gasket around the door. Waiting for spring and garage sales so I can find some canning jars or storage containers with the flip top lids and rubber gasket...- Rigidman

The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!
My secret Santa was very very good that me. Now even though he sent some tobacco that is no longer available, I'm fine with that. Its like expensive 30+ year old scotch. You don't drink it every day, you bring it out on special occasions. You savor it. Then every time you taste it you remember...- Rigidman

Is There A Post About New Pipe Sellers On Sites Like Ebay?
I learned the hard way what to look for and ask. I learned a lot by asking questions and reading the forums here too. I think it's the sellers responsibility to know their product, even if its a consignment. But also its the buyers responsibility to know the product they want to buy. Sometimes...- Rigidman

Is There A Post About New Pipe Sellers On Sites Like Ebay?
With some auctions, for whatever reason, my instincts went off. I just felt like someone the seller knew, if not themselves, bid on their own item. Sometimes I'll put a auto bid on an item. That's the most I'll pay, if it goes over oh well. Other times I'll snipe something. I've been...- Rigidman

Is There A Post About New Pipe Sellers On Sites Like Ebay?
I watched the whole video that's mentioned in the above video, I didn't see any breach of privacy. All the information on it is available to millions on eBay. Its not like he published a private email, their address, or unlisted number. I understand, from my own misfortunes, that I need to do...- Rigidman

Is There A Post About New Pipe Sellers On Sites Like Ebay?
12+ minutes to complain is a bit much. He claims not to be vindictive, if so why is the video over 5-7 minutes. Given that, I do understand when someone goes out of their way to screw with you, you want to push back. I've gotten pipes from eBay where people have tried to hide issues. I believe...- Rigidman

My Pipes
I'll try to get pictures up of the pipes that need cleaning and repair. Trying to figure out an easy way to show the brands without having to list them or edit the pictures name. It'd take too long. Could do it in lots of 10 I guess. There's a couple in the clean pile I'm keeping and a couple in...- Rigidman

Only reason you could smell it is the box was smashed. The lid was off, the seal was broke. Put the lid back on stuck it in the humidor. Or the canister. I can't remember which it was in. Right now its on the table next to my chair. Might smoke some more in a bit..- Rigidman

When I got my second package, you could smell it through the package. Oh wait no different package. The missing package was C&D Red Flake (maybe Seattle Pipe Club). The stinky package was Seattle Pipe Club Mississippi River Rum barrel aged. Just smoked some.- Rigidman

I'll go along with you on the bullet wounds. For all I know they could've been .762, 5.6, .223. .45, 9mm I have no idea. I only know what he said. What he claimed. Said he was driving a jeep. Hell for all I know it was shrapnel from a mine he drove over. I wasn't there. So yeah I'm sure he...- Rigidman

The (Un)Official Secret Santa 2020!
I think a teenager took it. High school let out and I saw the bus pass. There were 3-4 packages. I'm glad he only took 1. The rest were pipes from eBay. Been at war with my carrier nearly 5 years now. I keep begging them to get someone that knows what they're doing or cares about what they're...- Rigidman

I'm sorry it went this far. But 2 things no one calls me. A thief or a liar. No need to do either. My dad would come out of his grave and beat me with in an inch of my life. All because I couldn't remember AIT .I forget names of cars too but they're still here. Lots of things I can't remember...- Rigidman
