A Date Which Will Live in Infamy
The United States had frozen all of Japan's assets and secured international economic embargoes because of its "adventures" in China. Since Japan was (and still is) totally dependent on imports, the actions taken against Japan by the US were considered by the Japanese government as acts of war...- tuold

Another Loose Stem Fix
@huntertrw, Beeswax is not something I have at hand but it sounds like something I could definitely use. I'll get some with my next Amazon.com order.- tuold

Another Loose Stem Fix
I don't think anyone has mentioned this way of tightening a loose stem on a pipe, but recently I've been applying a very light coat of super glue to the tenon and letting it dry thoroughly.(It takes very little) Then you can try fitting it back on. If it's too tight you can just sand some of the...- tuold

I am back
There is a free version of Photoshop CS 2, though you might have to search a bit to find it. If that's overkill, you can resize your pictures using the "Editor" tab at the photo hosting site www.photobucket.com . Then you can link your images directly from there.- tuold

Five dollars? Not too bad.
Not really trying to resurrect this thread for discussion but just to add my own recent purchase of a Finsbury II. There is an outside forum post that indicated these pipes were Harcastle 2nds made in England, but other searches say it might be a Brebbia 2nd. At any rate, I find this pipe to be... -
A good pipe lighter
My first light is always with a match but I prefer to do relights with a butane lighter. Don't know why. Just part of the ritual I suppose. This "Old Boy" knockoff lighter by Mr Brog has served me well for a month now. Mr Brog Pipe Lighter- tuold

Pipe for a Giant
There was a thread last week about Medico pipes which started me searching on ebay for a suitable example of a good Medico pipe. Among all the listed Brylon hords I saw a "Medico Conquistador", a model I had never heard of. I examined the murky photographs supplied by the seller and was not... -

Cleaning/Polishing services requested
From what I see in the photo those estates look to be pretty good condition. The toughest job would be getting that yellow-greenish oxidation off the stems. There are a lot of ways to tackle that though. I bought myself a variable speed drill, some cotton polishing wheels, white diamond...- tuold

Show Off Your Dr. Grabow Pipes Here!
Here's a Riviera I just refurbed and added to my collection. It has a removable metal stinger instead of the paper filter space. Like most people testify, these old Dr Grabows are easy to get for very little money on ebay.- tuold

My First GBD
Does it come from Marechal and Ruchon, owners of GBD? Just a guess. From Pipedia: -
Removing Stubborn Cake
Yeah, I don't understand why some people let that cake get so darn thick, but I see it fairly frequently. Usually it just crumbles or scrapes out easily, but this stuff was really dense. Wonder what kind of tobacco was in there? Some estates have a left over tobacco odor but this one didn't. Now...- tuold

What are your other hobbies?
Wow! There are some very interesting and talented pipe smokers here! I can only dream of doing some of those things, particularly going 225mph in dragster....amazing! I'm into Baroque and Renaissance music. I have recorders, a cornetto, and a viola da gamba. I also compose original music for...- tuold

Grandfather In-law's Pipe's
Yes, put those in a special place. My grandfather wasn't interesting in spending a lot of money on his pipes. I'm sure he just grabbed one off a display card when he picked up his tobacco at the drug store every now and then. That Kaywoodie is a nice pipe. You might want to do a minor refurb... -
My First GBD
That is a classic! Such beautiful pipe! I have three estate GBDs from various time periods and none of them have stingers. At least not now. -
Removing Stubborn Cake
I've found many daunting challenges in my pipe restoring journey. The most difficult to overcome have been stems that been chewed nearly through, but cake removal from the inside of the bowl is a close second, especially when the carbon buildup is the consistency of cooled magma or asphalt...- tuold
