    Help and advice for an Upshall pipe

    I am not an expert. Some one will show up. It is a well loved Dublin shape pipe judging from the chamber cake etc. Probably a good smoker. Is it goasted? FH stands freehand but not sure why this one is. The A designation is the lowest rating for Upshalls. A repairman could band the shank...

I don't smoke much but so many...

    House of Calabash, Still In Business?

    $404/Lb is $25/oz. Pricey unless you do not smoke much. ( plus a shipping fee) My favorites are 7 of 9 a Virginia blend and Irish's 5 o'clock a Latikia blend. I use to stop by each summer and pick up a supply. It was much cheaper. They are unique and unadulterated. check my earlier post on this...

    New Members, Introduce Yourself!

    Welcome to the site. This is a great place, enjoy. Yes Drydock, my pipes from the 60s are small compared to those I have purchased lately. Maybe group 2. We did not have the time as youngsters to take a 1.5 hour break I guess. :crazy: lone red tree
