    PAD for my dad.

    Nice pipe. I'm sure he will enjoy it. My condolences on your loss.

    Weezells Restorations (4 pipes)

    Nice restoration work, Al. I think you are right about the billiard being a Charatan second. Back in the early 70's, I bought two Charaton seconds from a pipe shop on Cape Cod. The first one I bought is a tan sandblast in a shape Charatan calls "the Ton". On a second trip, I bought a black...

    So My Calabash Arrived After All (pic heavy!!!)

    A few days ago, I noticed that the entire stem on my Pioneer calabash was a light brown. I did a quick job cleaning it with auto rubbing compound and polishing compound, followed by Novus number 3 and 2 scratch remover. I finished with Obsidian. Not the glasslike shine of an Oxyclean/ micromesh...

    Salt And Alcohol Treatment On Meerschaum?

    My meerschaums were bought new years ago, while stationed in Turkey, so I never had this problem. A quick check online shows the melting point of beeswax as between 144 and 148 degrees fahrenheit. Putting the pipe in the oven will probably melt the beeswax. There are some online posts on using...

    I Hate Ebay

    I've bought five pipes on Ebay over the last two months so my experience is limited, compared to others here. One pipe came from overseas and sat over a week in a post office in New York, but I had no problems otherwise. A lot of people here gave you good advise. I would go through the...

    New acquisition - Peterson "Silver Cap #264"

    Canadians are one of my favorite shapes. That one is a beauty! Congratulations.

    Pre-Carbonized Layer

    It's a nice looking pipe. I wouldn't let anybody mess with it.

    My Recent PAD and TAD Activites

    Nice looking Dunhill. I've put Plum Pudding on my list to try.

    Got a nice surprise in the mail today.

    Sounds like the makings of a great visit. What will you be drinking?

    Anyone ever seen one of these?

    It looks just like the ones the Boy Scouts used to sell back in the 1950's.

    My New Morta

    I love that blast. I would like to see this with a cumberland stem, even though this one looks nice. How would you compare the smoking qualities of this wood and black morta to a good quality briar?

    New Peterson Killarney 106

    Nicely shaped billiard and you say it's a good smoker. Looks like it's one you will be smoking a lot.

    Help ID New Estate Pipe

    That pipe has beautiful grain. Worth much much more than you paid. I bought a few BBB's, including a Virgin somewhere between 1958 and 1962. The Virgin had a beautiful crossgrain and was a great smoker. I wish I still had it, but that's a long story. From what I have read, they supposedly put...

    A pipe I am interested in - need educated opinions pronto!

    I would expect some bite marks on a pipe that old, unless the stem was replaced.

    I Gotta Stop This

    Do you have enough tobacco for all those pipes? Oops, TAD; here we go again!

    Estate Pipes Restored - Pictures! (Not 56K Friendly)

    Nice work! Really great job refinishing the freehand.

    Ghosts Be Gone!

    What concerns me is the statement that the pipe is drier and more brittle after this treatment. What is the long term effect of this treatment? I will try this on some flea market pipes in the future as an experiment, but not on any of my current pipes. They don't need it, anyway. Choppa's...

    Band polishing

    I picked up a two pack of Cape Cod Cloth at the local hardware store after seeing it highly recommended on the internet. It works great on silver bands. It's currently on sale on Amazon for $4.29. There's also a tin with 12 cloths for $13.86 on Amazon, but two should last a long time. I wipe it...

    Pulled The Trigger...Twice!

    Talk about coincidence! I am sitting here smoking some Escudo Navy Deluxe Flake in my Nonpareil shape 9904. Mine has a sandblast top, instead of a smooth top. It's lightweight and a nice dry smoker. I'm sure you will enjoy yours. The Ferndown is a great looking pipe. You should have many great...
