    The Pipe Trade Conundrum

    Pipesmokingtom, still yet to be seen. The unsmoked pipe was natural and unstained so coloration was to be expected. It does appear that 2 spots in particular started to color quickly but by no means was this a burn out. I plan to clean it and start to smoke it myself to see if coloring evens out...

    The Pipe Trade Conundrum

    All great advice. I did happen to agree to negate the trade and return the traded pipe.

    The Pipe Trade Conundrum

    I recently visited with a friend who shares my passion for pipe smoking and collecting. We have been trading and selling estate pipes to each other for about 3 years now. Most recently I traded an unsmoked estate pipe and 2 others for one fine Italian pipe. The next day I received an email...

    $200 Sunrise 256

    I was watching too. Thought I might throw in a bid under 100 but when I went back to it and saw it broke the 100 mark I was pretty surprised. Love this shape but $224 seems high. Hopefully the winner will enjoy some great smokes from that beauty.

    Sasieni Ashford Double Stamp Walnut or Natural?

    Take a look at this stamping. I see both Natural and Walnut? I am thinking coloring puts it at a Walnut grade but the grain on this pipe is worthy of the Natural stamping? Thoughts?

    Kaywoodie 1930s Shank Logo Chubby Pair

    Two of my grail pipes showed up last weekend by 2 different sellers on eBay. One was a BIN and the other I negotiated a BIN for a unbelievable price on the pair. Shank Logo Kaywoodies are not impossible to find but these 2 shapes in this condition dont come around too often. The straight chubby...

    Kaywoodie Hand Made Part II

    I came across this lovely fat rhodesian last Sunday night on ebay as a buy it now and grabbed quickly. It appeared to be in great shape and now that it is home and cleaned up I am very pleased. There had recently been 2 other smooth Kaywoodie Hand Made's on ebay that I saw but missed. I am...

    Peterson 505 Shape

    SS...I believe the 505 and the xl999 stopped production in the early 90s. The 505 has a Silver Spigot version as well. I had also seen that supreme version pictured which is just stunning. I also prefer a taper but the saddle on that supreme works for me. The 505 like the xl999, as far as I can...

    Peterson 505 Shape

    2015 was my quest to complete a seven day set of chubby pipes. Since most were Peterson pipes, I decided 2016 would be a quest to complete a seven day set of Peterson chubby pipes. Today I received a Peterson 505, a shape I was unaware of till a few days ago. While not as thick as the...

    Chubby Chasing

    Spent 2015 chasing chubby pipes to complete a seven day set for myself. I love a nicely grained chubby briar straight to a tapered stem. No silver just simple chubbies. I completed a set just before the new year with a pre-republic Peterson Dublin & London 999. Here is my completed set...

    Tower of London Pipe??

    I have had this pipe for some time and I have never been able to identify. Wondering if anyone has seen or heard of "Tower of London" pipes. I am thinking GBD or Charatan briar for a pipe shop of that name? It is a very large bowl (size of a Peterson House Pipe) with beautiful birds-eye and...
