    Anyone Heard of 60-70 Star Gold De Luxe Estate Pipes

    I hope I'm in the right place. The person selling them are from Czheck Republic. They show up under Dunhill. My research didn't mention them. I know Parker and Hardcastle are pre Dunhill or seconds. They are nice pipes, I just can't find anything to compare it to, so I don't know if the price...

    Repairing Fine Threaded Stripped Stem and Shank

    Ok, I think I have a good one. I haven't been able to find anything on this. How do you repair fine threads that have been stripped both in the shank and on the stem? I've used heli coil and similar when in the Army and on my own vehicles and whatever has threads. But, I have no idea if it'll...

    Dr Grabow and Yello Bole Replacement Bowls.

    Glad I didn't have to say that!! I hope I'm in the right place. This question could be accessories or maintenance. A while back someone asked for help finding bowls for Dr. Grabow Viking. I also need this kind of help. I have, or will have, a Dr Grabow and a Yello Bole of similar design...

    Is There A Post About New Pipe Sellers On Sites Like Ebay?

    Again I searched about this, I wanted to know if there were new pipe sellers to buy/avoid on eBay, etsy, etc.. I've seen where people have asked about certain pipe sellers but not a list or place to review these type dealers. I think this may be useful to many newbies like me. I don't expect...

    Posting Pictures

    Ok how do I post pictures? I searched for a post on this and I'm either blind or missed it. I'd like to know so I can post a couple pictures of my current pipes. Once my purchases come in I'll post pictures of them as well. I'll also do before and after pictures of cleaning/sanitizing. Thanks.

    Clay, Cob, Ceramic or All The Above?

    The price for cobs and clay pipes are such that you can use them when working or whatever and if they happen to get damaged, oh well. But I was wondering about the pros and cons are of each? Now I know a clay pipe isn't a briar, they get hot, and not sure if you should let a cake build up or...

    Tobacconist Near Richmond Virginia

    Been searching high and low for a good tobacconist near me without any luck. Anyone know of any? Most of the ones I've found have limited supplies and knowledge. Mostly been talking to online dealers. What's weird is Sutliff isn't that far from me but they don't sell to the public. Wish...

    Estate Pipes, Cleaning and Maintaining a Pipe and Questions

    Ok so this is what I've learned. I need more pipes. Since most my pipes are new, I'm switching them to single tobacco brands. My most expensive pipe was $80. That was like a special gift to my self. I have a couple at $50, but the rest are around the $20-$40 range, including shipping. Now I've...

    I Love This Place

    EDIT: Fixed Capitalization in Title (See Rule 9) Nearly every question I've had so far has been answered. I just Google my questions and this site pops up. I just read the herb grinder thread because I was wondering if it worked and I happen to have one. And yes I do partake. I've had about a...
