    Fikri Baki pipes

    Hello folks, I'm looking to add another meerschaum to the collection and I'm really keen on Baki pipes. Last I checked Fikri Baki had his own website which I can't seem to find anymore. Does anyone know what happened to him and how to contact him directly for a commission? Thanks!

    Ebay seller great-estate-pipes

    I also thought something might be wrong with my ebay or email account so I've tried sending him messages through different accounts just to make sure something reaches him. Bluegrassbrian mentioned that he has exchanged emails with him in the past week which indicates that he is active. If it's...

    Ebay seller great-estate-pipes

    I only did that because I've been expecting payment for almost a month now. How would you feel if you were owed money and not paid for that long? I'm not badgering him by sending unrelated messages with different content each time with request or complaints or proposals or questions. It's the...

    Ebay seller great-estate-pipes

    He has just listed some more pipes not more than three hours ago but still hasn't replied to my messages. I will try to place a bid on one item to get his attention. Hopefully that will work.

    Ebay seller great-estate-pipes

    I am aware he has had to move houses and it's quite difficult as it is. I hope everything is alright with him. I just need some sort of confirmation. It's been a while since payment was supposed to be made. I actually hate doing this and writing about it on the forum but I really don't have...

    Ebay seller great-estate-pipes

    Thanks pal! I just sent him an email. I'll wait and see. It's just like bluegrassbrian and ron123 said, he is active with other members and listings and all but isn't answering my messages. I have tried sending them using different accounts lest that there be a technical problem with my own but...

    Ebay seller great-estate-pipes

    Hello folks, I'm wondering if anyone knows how to get directly in touch with Chance Whittamore from great-estate-pipes on eBay. We were in the process of conducting a deal and all communication ceased from his end. I'm aware that he can get very busy but he has recently listed new items on...

    So they're burnout proof?

    Meerschaum burnout

    Hello there folks, I hope this finds you well. I was simply wondering if meerschaum pipes are burnout proof and can be smoked without rest. I remember reading something along those lines a while back but I'm not too sure. Thanks!

    Ikebana pipes

    Hello there folks, It's been a while since my last post, I hope everyone is doing well. I've been meaning to ask about Ikebana grade Tsuge pipes. I am curious to know how they fare in comparison to other high end makers. It is my understanding that the principal carver behind the line, master...

    Favorite Briar Finishes

    I always wondered if the quality of briar used in making smooth pipes is superior to that of sandblasted or rusticated ones. Do all bowls start out as smooth and then get scrapped into the sandblasted lot because they have some fault in them?

    Q-Tip Removes Stain from Rim

    I remember Pipestud recommending black coffee as a very efficient alternative to saliva.

    New (To Me) Antique Meerschaum: Any Idea Who It Might Depict?

    As far as looks are purely concerned, I would imagine this pipe having been carved as a tribute to someone like Joachim du Bellay or any other remarkable figure of the sixteenth century.

    New Robert McConnell and Charatan blends

    Robert McConnell and Charatan have recently released a number of blends that are supposedly Dunhill replacements. Has anyone given them a try? If so, what are your opinions? Do they come close to the original Dunhill mixtures?

    Lighter vs matches

    Good point Warren. A little care and attention go a long way. In my case, I tried many lighters: Zippos, Dunhills, IM Coronas... etc. But for some reason I can't control the flame as well with a lighter as with a match.

    Lighter vs matches

    I only use matches. They cause the least damage to the rim of the pipe. Check out this old thread http://pipesmagazine.com/forums/topic/experiment-match-vs-zippo-vs-bic-vs-old-boy-vs-torch
