    Usinq Mason Jars for Bulk Tobacco

    I think you guys are making this way too complicated. Buy mason jars, stuff baccy inside (however much or little as you want), seal lid tight, place on closet shelf and forget about it till you want to smoke. I have been doing it this way with no ill effects for the past couple of years. Its...

    How much would you pay for a pipe ?

    Realistically I would probably only pay $200 tops for a pipe. I haven't hit that benchmark yet and I don't plan on it anytime soon. I mostly acquire my pipes on eBay in lots. I then restore the other pipes and sell them so in a way I actually end up getting paid to keep the pipe I wanted all...

    Shipping

    I have been selling pipes for about a year now. I just separate the stem from the shank and wrap the two pieces in bubble wrap very well individually and put them in a padded envelope and seal the edges with packaging tape. Then I just tape on the printed postage (I use PP to print the...

    Unsmoked Pipes

    I have a Stanwell Buffalo Poker that is unsmoked. I have do many other pipes I guess I just don't want to smoke it until I have to as the value will go down. It's not an expensive pipe by any means but is one of my nicest. It probably won't get smoked until some of my other pipes burnout or...

    What is a rubber?!?

    I believe he might be referring to rubber bridge. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_bridge "Rubber bridge is a form of contract bridge and is played with four players. It is most often played for fun but is also played seriously for money. Rubber Bridge involves a high degree of skill but...

    Pleasant Surprise

    Being a college student I rarely get to go home except for holidays. Fortunately, it is Thanksgiving break so I finally got to come home. The last time I was here was at the beginning of the semester in August and I remembered that I had put a few tins away for cellaring. Well to my surprise...

    Buffer Setup Ideas

    Since delving deeper into pipe restoration I have decided that I want to rig up a basic buffing setup. My house mate works construction so I think between the two of us we can rig something up but we have no idea where to start. So I was wondering if you guys could post up pictures and an...

    Baldspots

    eBay cob pipes

    Great advice about going the MM route. However, you can still find New MM cobs on eBay for pretty good prices. You can also find some of the older no longer produced cobs. I recently bought a lot that had an old unsmoked reed stemmed MM cob in it. You cannot find those in the online retailer...

    Alcohol & Salt treatments "Don'ts"

    So you guys salt the shank as well? I had always heard not to get any salt in the shank but maybe I heard wrong.

    Has Anyone Smoked One Of These?

    As promised, here are the pictures. The bowl of the pipe appears to be made out of a different wood than the shank and stem sections, which look to be stained/painted. And here is a picture of all of the gifts be brought me. Some great looking ceylon loose leaf tea, the pipe, and a Russian...

    My New Pipe Work Area

    I have always thoroughly enjoyed restoring estate pipes. In fact I used to restore them all of the time as some of you may remember. However, life got in the way and I stopped restoring for a while. I recently have gotten back into restoring but did not have a proper work area. The main...

    Has Anyone Smoked One Of These?

    Will do on the pictures. The one he got me is actually a little different looking but it has the same color, pipe design, and everything just a different face. I plan on uploading pictures to Facebook tomorrow. I think I also forgot to mention that he bought it in Russia.
