    Dr. Grabow Adjustomatic and Reamer

    I bought an acrylic coated pliers jeweler's tool specifically for dealing with stuck Adjustomatic stems. If you buy a lot of estate pipes it will come in handy.

    Turning trash into treasure

    Beautiful! I'd love to see a video of how you did that.

    Gabrieli Bulldog-One More Sanding Before Stain

    Already looks like a million bucks! A nice walnut stain seems like it would be perfect. I'll be interested to see the final unveiling.

    Kaywoodie Flame Grain 99B Restored

    Beautiful results! (Isn't it amazing how some people let that much buildup accumulate in the bowl?)

    ***What Are You Smoking *** (Sept. 2014)

    Just finished a bowl of Balkan Luxury Blend 957 in an old GBD 9448. Extremely satisfying smoke, that was. Loved the sort of nutty, coffee-like flavor of the second half of the bowl.

    Comoy's Comments

    I see that Smokingpipes.com has sold two Highgates in the past. A picture only remains for one. Highgate Picture Despite the deference in shapes, they all share the same rustication pattern.

    Thanks for all the comments and also thank Mod for the spelling corrections! At least now I won't be eternally mortified. I am checking out all the links provided above.

    Comoy's Comments

    Wow, I managed to misspell the name throughout post. Well, no excuse other than ignorance. I'll learn. :oops:

    Mr. Brog's Great Customer Service

    Ha ha! I went over to Amazon.com and started browsing Mr Brog pipes but couldn't find a shape I liked for the price I wanted to pay. Instead I bought a Camoy's on ebay tonight. That should satisfy my PAD for a few... minutes.

    Talk About Discouraging!

    It is a tough situation and I'm familiar with the pressure friends a relatives put on you. I took ten years off from my job to stay home and raise my two sons. Towards the end of that period ( I was 45) I started putting out resumes and getting nothing. The few interviews I got had questions...

    Comoy's Comments

    I've always read good things about Comoy's pipes here. So when I stumbled upon one up for auction on ebay and just minutes away from closing with no bids, I threw my $9.99 in the pot and won. Kind of exciting, but I'm not sure what I got and I'm hoping someone would be kind enough to fill in the...

    Mr. Brog's Great Customer Service

    I've put together several new pipe smoker's starter kits centered around a Mr Brog pipe for friends and relatives who have shown an interest in the hobby. Oddly, I don't own one myself! Someday....

    I just have to ask..

    Every seller has a price point they aim for as part of their marketing strategy. They can either sell a few high quality pipes for higher prices to those willing and able to pay a lot, or they can sell a lot of pipes at lower prices most of us can afford to pay. Many manufacturers have tried to...

    Checking In

    Tarak, My son is entering an accelerated program where he will graduate in three years with a master's degree in nursing. So I'm curious as to why you left nursing to sing in a church! Not that people shouldn't follow their "muse", but after all that education I wonder what would entice you...

    You Mean They Can Legally Not Hire Me Because I Smoke?

    Ravenwolf opined: A quaint notion these days, indeed. We are all part of the collective and everything we do affects our neighbors whom we also depend on for social order. The idea of the individual living a self sufficient life is a selfish and outmoded paradigm. (I've actually had people tell...

    You Mean They Can Legally Not Hire Me Because I Smoke?

    ae1pt, I don't believe the all the founding fathers were as jaded and self serving as you make them out to be. I'll go as far to join you saying that if we judge 18th century writers with our own "culturally advanced and superior notions" of freedom and liberty, they do indeed fall a bit short...

    You Mean They Can Legally Not Hire Me Because I Smoke?

    One of the things that gall me about these policies is the unequal application in the health care setting. The rank and file workers such as myself are subject to rigid non-smoking policies while the physicians are either exempt or flaunt their immunity to repercussions from indulging themselves...

    You Mean They Can Legally Not Hire Me Because I Smoke?

    Whoever would have thought we would be having this conversion in a free country regarding a legal product/activity? Maybe if we can get another pipe smoker in the White House things might change for the better. Any nominations???
