    Antique Store Bragging Finds.

    I've got to get back there soon and see if there are any new additions. The lady running the store was worried that the pipe was made of ivory. She had no idea what meerschaum was. There are no markings on the pipe and the the carving is not the most intricate I've seen. For sheer size though...

    To Mirissa

    You can take comfort in the fact that you provided the best home and the best life she could have had. You will always have your memories. She will live there.

    Aromatics in your rotation? With a dedicated pipe?

    I tried some Sutliff Rum Raisin last night and it had the distinct flavor and aroma of Play-Doh. That led me to search out what the fragrance is in Play-Doh and it turns out it's heliotrope. Who would have guessed? You can cross that one off your list!

    I also have an 82 and it is a good pipe. Gotta get me an 83 someday. I like the look of that one.

    Pipe Resto: Cure for winter boredom. PIC HEAVY

    Amazing work on saving those pipes! I'd like to see a video someday of how you do the great looking rustication. Isn't it amazing how thick some guys will let that cake buildup get? I mean, at some point while filling up the bowl the average guy might think, "Hmmmm. Maybe I should ream some of...

    My blasted Commodore came in a few days ago and I've had time to give it a cleaning. It's an adjustomatic with a scoop-shaped stinger in near new condition.

    Shipped Out a Pipe Band Today

    I don't think anyone else could make a pipe look so good. There is some kind of design synergy going on there! It's unique.

    Oh.... I didn't win: Dunhill London 1923 Bruyere 309 AD Silver Band

    It's getting tough out there even for us bottom feeders. I put a $9.99 starting bid on a beat up old Yello Bole only to have the next bid jump to $51.00. An old Dr Grabow went for $32.00. For the first time in over a year I don't have any estate pipes coming in from ebay this week. I may have...

    Custombilt Look-alike Pipe

    I am so glad you like Larry's Blend. I am very happy with my pipe! It'll be with me 'till the end. And then it goes to whichever pipe smoking son treated me the best. :lol:

    This Old Pipe - Poetry for Pipe Smokers #2

    There is also the free ebook "Pipe and Pouch" which may share some of the same poetry though it lacks the clever formatting. It would be nice to find a copy of either in an antique store! Pipe and Pouch INVOCATION TO TOBACCO Weed of the strange flower, weed of the earth, Killer of dullness...

    Custombilt Look-alike Pipe

    I've been looking to add a Custombuilt pipe to my collection for a long time. Unfortunately, a lot of other people have the same idea and I've been unable to snag one for a sum within my budget. Forum member snagstangl kindly offered to trade a pipe from his collection that if not stamped...

    WDC Estate Fraternity Pipe - Phi Kappa Alpha

    Here are some roguish young gentleman, perhaps college students, showing off their smokes. Note the guy in the middle with the churchwarden.

    Thanks ejames. An Eldorado and Sculptura are both on my acquisition wish list. Is it easy to tell which blasting method was used by the way it looks? The pipe hasn't arrived yet, but here's the seller picture: "Found in abandoned storage". Another sad pipe story! :crying: It will have a good...

    WDC Estate Fraternity Pipe - Phi Kappa Alpha

    Here it is as it appeared on ebay. Not an impressive pipe by any means, but interesting to me for its historical/cultural value. I haven't done anything with it yet.

    WDC Estate Fraternity Pipe - Phi Kappa Alpha

    Just an addendum to the great material added by mrlowercase. Here's an ad in the Cornell student newspaper about class pipes. So, we can tell the tradition of the class pipe extended at least into the 1950s. In fact I have since picked up an estate Medico Alma Mater "Summa" from that period.
