Forget Historical Figure Conversations... Now You Have a Billion Dollars
Your doorbell just rang, and a team of expensively-suited lawyers just told you that Bill Gates died and left you a billion dollars. That you were his long lost best childhood friend's favorite uncle, or something. After dealing with the obvious necessities required by such good fortune, what...- georged

Turns out I'm a Bazillionaire!
I'll be ordering a 787 Dreamliner in the morning, and a fleet of Bugattis to start off, I think. 8) What happened? Reading those recent "no more McClelland" threads made me curious enough to check what had been in some of the pipe show dinner goodie-bags I'd gathered over the past few years...- georged

Dunhill White Spot Drama
Several days ago I spoke with Rob Cooper ("Coopersark" on eBay) at some length about the importance of historical details, originality, and so forth to many pipe collectors. In the course of that conversation Dunhill's "white spot" was mentioned as something which factored into determining...- georged

Amazing (Can't Really Describe---Check This Out)
This guy is very much the Real Deal, and what he's offering is 100% legit. He's also 100% an Old School gentleman, and has a considerable natural talent for pipe making. How he came to live in Papua New Guinea---in the jungle, alongside an indigenous tribe called the Hewa---is a full-on...- georged

$220,000,000 Pipe Tamper
I won the Powerball last week, and decided this morning to spend my winnings on a pipe tamper. A very special pipe tamper, obviously. A guy I know's friend's mother's uncle heard someone say that it had once been owned buy a guy who lived in North Dakota, and I know for a fact that a girl who... -
Thanks For Your Kindness and Indulgence
The Pete and Dunhill 59 "twin" post marks the end of my little photo parade. (I still have a few odds and ends, but it covered the heart of my rack.) I thought ending it on a SMOKING note instead of a BEAUTY note was fitting. :puffy: It's been a fun distraction from some health issues I've... -
Dunhill Tanshell #59 & Peterson 1905 Billiard Replica
These two pipes are posted together because they are the best smokers I have. A tribute to my most tireless soldiers. Neither is anything special to look at, and neither has its original stem. But the axiom about books and covers couldn't be more applicable. The Dunhill was over-buffed when... -
2015 Asteriou Billiard (smooth w/band)
If based on the following three criteria: -- Talent for subtly refining conventional shapes -- Talent for designing Danish and innovative shapes -- Technical mastery of implementation/execution A strong argument can be made that Chris Asteriou is the best pipe maker in the world. There's... -
Peterson London-Made Cased Pair #2 (Lovat & Prince)
This companion pair came from the same original owner as the other one, and was also unsmoked & uncarried. It just sat in a trunk (or wherever) waiting for the day its destiny could be realized. :puffy: Funny bit: I only noticed the crack in the Prince's shank on screen when cropping the...- georged

Peterson London-Made Cased Pair (Dublin & Billiard)
I have no idea why cased sets resonate so strongly in my nicotine-stained heart, only that they do. :lol: This companion pair was made (I think, anyway--corrections encouraged) in the 1950's or 60's. The English influence is strongly present in the button design... they are curved, a la...- georged

Savinelli Giubileo D'Oro Yacht (shape 904KS)
Arguably one of the most aesthetically pleasing standard shapes ever made. From every angle, the flow just never stops. I've included a few extra shots for that reason, as well as because there are some 904 lovers here. This particular pipe is 30 years old this month. Her name is Isabella...- georged

Savinelli Giubileo D'Oro (shape 207 - straight apple)
I decided it was time for brighter lights in the light box. (The grain, she wasn't comin' through before... not a problem now! :mrgreen: ) A well-cut apple perfectly balances practicality and style. Traditional enough that billiard smokers usually have a few, and sleek enough that the...- georged

Peterson Deluxe 999 (thin shank)
I remember getting this one off Ebay for $22 in 2005. Why so cheap for a DeLuxe in a desirable shape you ask? It had no stem. :D Turns out I knew a guy who knew a guy... 8) This is probably the most comfortable pipe I own. The early 20th century style "overbent" stem, short overall...
