    Where's everyone relaxing at tonight

    Lord of the Rings extended versions. Gonna power through til I fall asleep. Nightcap in a Kaywoodie and a vanilla shake.

    Latest Kaywoodie Acquisition

    It's one of my best smokers. Easy draw and everything burns well in it. Really loving bent pipes now.

    Latest Kaywoodie Acquisition

    Those are the dents, they aren't as noticeable in person. Looked like a huge chunk was missing in the ebay pick, but it was just shadow. Hot Tags- got it! :)

    Latest Kaywoodie Acquisition

    Couldn't find the Kaywoodie Collector's thread so I'm starting my own. Damn search engine. Anyway, here it is, a Shape # 14 Bent Billiard Flame Grain Kaywoodie. Still needs a bit of touching up, but I got most of the major grime off. It has a couple dents in it, but then, so do I. Was heavily...

    Are There Righty and Lefty Pipes?

    Sorry, I'm not being clear. It not that they would be right or left handed, but, err, lipped or mouthed. Now I just feel silly. :P @Pagan - That's so it can be smoked in the rain. :rofl:

    Hi!

    Hi Minfarshaw ! I do get hungry after my morning smoke and coffee. Both are supposed to suppress appetite. Apparently my nervous system didn't get the memo. I'm amazed you have been around this long and still want to talk to us. Welcome back!

    Are There Righty and Lefty Pipes?

    Aldecaker - That's what I'm talking about. Aside from threaded stems beings over and underclocked, Trendo's example has the stem bit canted and seemingly would achieve the same effect. I can't think of how this could accidentally happen to a bit. I've seen other examples on Ebay, though I don't...

    Are There Righty and Lefty Pipes?

    It is now. You trendsetter you. :wink: Ashdigger- Good to know, and yes they are Kaywoodies I have which are underclocked. Hit the nail on the head.

    Are There Righty and Lefty Pipes?

    Dot- I agree. I have examples where stems underclock slightly and it seems it would be an easy fix at the factory. Overclocking I know could be from years of use, as I only get estates. Similarly, in the heyday when many thousands of pipes were being produced daily, I could see them saying...

    Are There Righty and Lefty Pipes?

    I've been wondering for a while now if some stems are intentionally canted to the left or right to accommodate the particular pipe owner's preference when clenching. Example A would be Trendo's pipe which would tilt it to the left when held level in the mouth...Found Here...

    Help ID and "is this pipe worth fixing?

    Wow. I'd call it a "Lefty" and smoke away. Starting a thread about this phenomena as it looks intentional. Is that Amberlite? Love the pipe. :)

    Preferred member status change

    As long as there is no "butt stuff" I can probably handle it. :wink:

    Help ID and "is this pipe worth fixing?

    I agree with Ashdigger. The threaded stinger has been overturned through time or neglect and just needs to be carefully rotated back. Do NOT heat and bend the stem, it is fine. Edit: Oh, nice pipe by the way. :)

    Shiny Pipes on EBay. Good or bad?

    Before I joined this site, I perused Shiny and concluded the restorations were too brutal for my taste. Barely readable nomenclature does not make for a good antique of any sort. Luckily, I've never had a bad deal on Ebay. Whether it is my familiarity with photography, taste in used pipes, or...
