    Got a Drilling Problem (Technical Question)

    This might just work,but instead of plugging the second hole you might reshape it and make a Cavalier. Why 3MM ? 4MM is the most common size used.

    Help Identifying Pipes

    I really like that second pipe,whoever made it ! WDC is (was) one of the great American companies and if I remember correctly was eventually bought by SM Frank. The pipe in your pics appears to be a WW2 era non briar pipe. EA Carey has been around for many years and may still be making pipes...

    First Grabow, a Short Review

    Glad your Grand Duke is treating you right ! The Grabows made today are not "pre-smoked" and haven't been for several years. They have a bowl coating.

    Bucko

    Nice job! The Bucko's are great as a small pocket pipe. They were made by Grabow. Somewhere along the way someone has replaced the stem in yours,it looks to have a WDC stem. Grabow never used a triangular stem logo or a stinger made like that.It should be a white spade with a much shorter...
