    Researching My Caminetto

    I found that the pipe was commissioned by the TinderBox chain along with several other high end makers like Dunhill. Several shapes were selected to celebrate the Co. 50th anniv. In 1978, but Caminetto only made the Cavalier. The pipes were listed in 1979 catalog numbered up to 250 limited...

    Radice Stem Logo

    What is the story on the stem dots? They vary both vertical and horizontally. Does not look like it has anything to do with room on the stem. Can it be used in general dating ?

    Cavindish Or Cavindished

    Blends often list Cavindish implying that it was a variety of tobacco instead of a process. For years I stayed away from Burley because I thought it was a large leaf cheap filler. All this time I was enjoying Cavindished Burley.

    Chimney Stack

    Recent purchase. I traded off all of my Stacks a long time ago because frequently flopped over and we’re hard to relight. Couldn’t resist this Chimney free hand because it is light weight, only a wax finish and great grain. Smokes well with cube cut that needs a large bore. The long stem rests...

    Corn On The Cob

    Sweet corn the cob is in season, the bi colored variety is my favorite. Fresh from the field, roasted on the grill. My mother in law cooks the whole cob in sugar water that is great. A touch of a mess to eat when slathered with butter but we’ll worth the effort.

    Over the years I have found several nice pipes that were non branded. Obviously not seconds with fills or void of grain. Shown are two smooth stamped straight grain made in England. Maybe just did not sell well from high end makers and sold bulk for shop brands ? Top smooth has a oval bore ...
