    Mid-week auctions always seem to yield the best buys. I just scored this one today. An Italian beauty.

    Peterson Question

    I recently acquired this Peterson pipe (454/1000). I'm wondering if anyone knows what this pipe is commemorating or why it was offered? Any help would be appreciated.

    New Peterson

    Came across this Peterson on Ebay and just couldn't resist. I love bulldogs, love military mounts and this one was a fishtail, perfect. Number 454/1000, so it's limited edition to boot. Seller emailed me this morning it's on its way.

    Dunhill Stem Repair

    About six or eight years ago I came across a Dunhill Bent Rhodesian on the European estate market. Dunhill Rhodesians are anything but common so for a dedicated Rhodesian/bulldog collector it was a must have. Several years later I came across another, same style, same year but a different...

    GBD Three pipe resto

    I’ve always thought companion pipe sets were just classy but I could never find a set that I liked or could afford. Inspired by the work off the benches of Dave (Danielplainview) and Al (SSJones) I decided to put together a set of my own. I had just the three pipes I needed for this project...

    May was a Three Dog Month

    Years ago I restricted my pipe collecting to bent Rhodies and Dogs in an effort to better control PAD attacks. For the most part it worked except for a few bent authors and apples I just couldn’t resist. But last month the “Pipe Gods” conspired against me, tempting me with three bent Bulldogs...

    Charatan Question

    Are Charatan reg. numbers of any use in determining the manufacturing date of a pipe? Is there any archive where these numbers can be researched? Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide.

    PAD Ambush

    I've always liked the Savinelli 320 shape but didn't really care for the bit. Well their Gaius line now features a military mount style bit and it was "Love at first Sight"

    Ever stop to consider how much tobacco you smoke each month? I smoke about a pound. How about you?

    City Deluxe Suggestions

    I have a pair of City Deluxe in the 9438 style I put together as a "weekender" set. My problem is that the twin bore holes in the bit are so small I can't get a pipe cleaner through them (even the smallest I can find) making cleaning the bit impossible. Anyone else have this issue and what was...
