Need A Filler
I just got a Morgan Bones pipe - my second one - and while I'm sure it will smoke as good as the first one, this one has a HUGE chunk missing on the outside of the stummel. We're not talking about a sand pit, this is a ruddy huge gouge. I would like to try my hand at filling the crater...- verporchting

Dunhill Dating Question Please
Calling the Baker Street Irregulars: I've got a lovely group 4 Shell Briar - Lovat with a fishtail - that I am not certain whether it dates from 1959 sold in 60, or a 1969 sold in 70. Can somebody with a better understanding of the nomenclature please help me identify it? Very much...- verporchting

Ben Wade Pipes?

St Bruno - The Original
Can anybody tell me the approximate time-frame that St Bruno changed from the older "original" recipe to what it is now? I actually really enjoy the newer blend, and have never had the older version, but if it is possible to still find some of the original blend for something less than an arm...- verporchting

Dark Rich Honeydew
It occurred to me whilst smoking my second bowl of G&H Dark Rich Honeydew that the flavor was somehow familiar and then it hit me - CONDOR. There was just something I couldn't quite place and all of a sudden I made the connection. Haven't had Condor for quite some time, and it was never...- verporchting

Removing Or Dulling Glossy Shine?
I have two Rossi Vittoria pipes that are great smokers and the craggy black finish is just perfect for the shapes. I just don't love the glossy finish. Seems like a semi-matte finish would suit them better. Any simple or relatively simple method to dull the finish or to cut the gloss? I'm...- verporchting

Comoy Defect Stamping?
A while back I bought a Comoy 296 Traditional Canadian at what seemed to be a good price new. I didn't have my glasses with me at the time, but the stamping appeared to be 296 or 298 and everything was what I expected it to be. Drilling looked good, no obvious blemishes or flaws, so I bought...- verporchting

Brown & Williamson SWR
Recently I bought a two-tier wall-hanging pipe stand that has doors on the bottom and a drawer in the middle. Inside the drawers and included in the sale I found a bunch of odds and ends, the most interesting of which is an old pouch of SWR Aromatic with a blue "thermo sealed" stamp (although...- verporchting

I'm new, so I need to figure out picture posting, but here is what I think I know from the stamping: Group 4 size because of the number 4 inside a circle Bruyere finish because of letter A next to the...- verporchting
