Paranormal Pipe
Last night, around 1 am after returning home from work, I went to my "office" for a relaxing smoke. As I sat puffing with contentment and reading an old Aviation magazine there was a loud crack like a gunshot. Something ricocheted off a wall and landed on the carpet in front of me. It was a...- tuold

Tuesday Antique Store Run
Lucky695, I would have bought that Sav in a heartbeat! I left behind a number of pipes I'll go back to check out in detail this coming weekend. One was nice looking meerschaum in a case for $12.50. I'm sort of kicking myself for not just buying everything and sorting it out at home. -

Tuesday Antique Store Run
I made my monthly visit to the local antique store this afternoon. While not experiencing any eureka moments, I did find a couple of pipes of interest. The first one caught my attention because it was in an immaculate looking Charatan box with the label "Shape No. 47" on it. I quickly looked... -

Ropp horn stem pipes
I'm really glad I read this thread. I've got an old estate Ropp pipe with a metal tenon that fits into a cork lined shank. I thought the stem had some oxidation that I've been patiently sanding away on. I now realize the stem is horn. :oops: -

Dead Man's Cellar
I'm hoping these canopic jars will keep my tobacco fresh for the next 2000 years or so until a curse awakens me. Actually, I've given word to my sons that they can do whatever they want with my pipes and tobacco. I'm starting to catalog everything now so they will know the approximate value of...- tuold

Was I Duped?
I've been getting a lot of USPS tracking numbers that never update from my ebay purchases recently. Maybe the post office is undergoing some sort of technology "upgrade".- tuold

Laquer Coming Off
Captainprophesy, you are very observant! But wouldn't there be a point where more vigorous treatment would actually look over done or further degrade the appearance? I've seen pipes that have been sanded down to the bare wood, and while that solves one problem it often seems to create others...- tuold

Pipe tobacco for when you retire
I am blessed to be able to retire five years early starting next month. My every day smoke is PS Balkan Supreme but I also enjoy Sutliff's Blend No 5. They are both economical, dependable and taste great! Larry's B;end is right up there.- tuold

Acetone on a small cotton pad will remove a lacquer finish very quickly. Then you can just buff and wax.- tuold
