    Different pipes for different tobaccos, Myth?

    in theory, for english blends a dublin pipe with a TRUE triangular shaped bowl, 1 inch diamter at the top coming to a point 1 inch deep, would be the ultimate english blend pipe.

    The Ugly Side of Buying Estate Pipes

    I got an ebay alert saying a seller reduced the price on an item 20% because I put it into a watch list. The price was 120$ before 20% reduction. 114$ after. I just laughed.

    It's easy to pull labels off. Not all tattray tins will have bottom label. There is a major change between each vendor, decade, and country. Packaged in Europe or USA has major differences.

    Why are estate pipes ok?

    And its an older ebay scam to demand the package be returned to an address that doesnt match the sellers ebay business address, and thus by doing so, the purchaser fails to get a refund.

    Why are estate pipes ok?

    but damaged pipes are common. Ran across a dunhill on ebay, there are several cracks in the rim that descend almost 3/4" of an inch into the chamber. ANd the cracks were from long ago as the pipes near 1/4" thick cake stops at the lowest crack. perhaps one of those "angry wife hits pipe with...
