When to Sell Estates
I'm still too new to pipes in general and I am a collector, so I haven't culled any estate pipes from my now very large rotation. That said, there are certainly a couple that really don't have much appeal to me and I don't feel compelled to smoke with far better options available. Eventually I...- Briar Tuck

To Ream Or Not To Ream...
I've only ever used a reaming tool on estate pipes with excessive cake. I have a Decatur reaming set for this purpose, which I use to get rid of the worst of the cake before switching to sandpaper for the more delicate work.

Cutty Madness. Quarterfinals Match 3.
Very tough call, and again I'd be happy with both pipes. I'm going to vote for the more simple, elegant, classic design of number two. The point tapered edge at the front of the bowl is a really nice touch.- Briar Tuck
