    Fledgling attempt at Rustication (PICS)

    My first attempt at rusticating a pipe. It could have been better but overall, not bad. It was a nice GBD Irwins that my dog got ahold of and chewed on a little. He always has to be my little helper. The finished product...

    Estate hunt pays off. PICS

    Here is a pic of my latest estate finds. These were all pretty rough when I found them. Ugly ducklings, just how I like them. The first is a Mastercraft Deluxe made in Italy. Second is a Savinelli Rock Grain. Third is a Danish Sovereign 364 plateau top. I paid $10 for all three! The lady at the...

    Pipe resto pro's. A little help please.

    My latest resto projects are two Stanwell sub brands. I have a question. Any tips on how to clean up the stem without removing the stamping? The stamp on the stem is very shallow and faint. I normally wet sand and it's works well, but I'm afraid this method will remove the shallow stamping very...

    Mason jar storage tips ?

    How do you place/store your mason jar tobacco stash? Has anyone had this problem and have found a solution? I'm speaking of my 1/4quart masons that store my current smoke rotation, not the aged cellared jars. I have over 20 of them I open and use frequently. They don't interlock with one...

    Pics vs. Videos

    I would like to see more short videos of the all the pipes, cabinets, restorations, cellars, ect. I think I am the only one that posts self made vids on the forum. (I'm sure there are a few on here) My favorite topics/threads are always pic heavy. And hopefully soon, video heavy. Your thoughts...

    They don't make 'em like they use to.

    I was at my local B&M this week, and they had a new Kaywoodie display with 12 pipes or so on it. At first glance I was happy to see them. Upon further inspection, I was quickly disappointed. The quality of the pipes were pretty bad. I don't think some were even made of wood. I know they are...

    Peterson reunited with box&sleeve

    I was handed down my grandfathers pipe collection quite some time ago. One of those pipes is a Peterson Rocky Donegal with sterling silver band. This past weekend, my father and uncle were in the basement of my grandparents house and they found the original box and sleeve to it! So I made a vid...

    Dr Grabow meaning of colored spades?

    I've been building a nice collection of older Dr Grabow pipes. As you know, most of the spades on the pipes are white, but I have more than a few with different colored spades. Blue, black, orange, and yellow. Does anyone know the meaning of the different colors? Are they to indicate dates...

    Help with Non aromatic that doesnt suck

    O.K. fellas, I know I will catch hell for this post, but here goes... I have been smoking a pipe since 1995, and a lot of people say aromatics are for beginners. Guess what, I still smoke aromatics. I have tried to branch out to English blends and a few others. I do like some burly blends. Im...

    New Grabow Ajustomatic & Patriot

    For the Dr. Grabow fans. I received an email from the Grabow factory telling me of the new Ajustomatic and Patriot pipes. There is virtually no mention of these anywhere on the web, or on the forums. They only sell them factory direct to customers. (at least the Patriot) Does anyone have one of...

    Tenon enlargement? Ideas?

    A little help? I bought a churchwarden pipe stem at an antique shop, and I'd like to fit it to a certain pipe. The problem is, the tenon circumference is a little small. But the stem is the perfect size for the pipe. When held into the shank it looks like it was made for it. I've tried the heat...

    Gbd collector info??

    A little help from the GBD fans please. I'm having trouble finding any solid information on this pipe. The many articles I've read on it are all over the place. Made in the 30's. Made in the 70's. So on and so on. I have GBD pipe with the stampings - Collector Fantasy- London England- 9622. If...
