    PCI and PayPal advice

    I got an email this morning advising that McClelland 2015 was back in stock. I have had three pounds of it on back order since their mid June 25% off flash sale. Checking my account, there was no change in status, so I called customer service and spoke with a very helpful man named sale. It...

    $810 for a Castello Old Antiquari 55

    I am amazed An estate pipe. A new one US retail is $450. Yes, it has great grain, but if you are patient one to match can be found. From the bid history, it looks like two bidders beat each other up unmercifully, not a case of two snipe programs flipping in nuke bids at the last second. And...

    Thanks, Ashdigger

    Nirvana. The best smoking pipe I own is also the one I have held onto the longest, a Castello 75 Sea Rock bought in the mid 80's that started life as a GG but is now, thanks to an unfortunate accident and the remarkable skill of Jim Cooke, a G. I figured that what I have to smoke tonight...

    It's Back! Return of the 1950 Dunhill KM

    my birthyear Dunhill returns This listing says the bowl was over reamed when the seller received it. Reason for relisting said to be winning bidders eyes were too big for his wallet. This is a very difficult pipe for me to evaluate. All things considered, I did not think the winning bid...

    Good News. I found my birth year Dunhill!

    Bad News! It's this one! I figured $800-1000. Friend who is more in touch with prices said $1200 - 1500. I think I will wait, and buy a Dunhill dated 2025.

    Bowl coating, re - coating and over restoration

    Some worthwhile thoughts from Marty Pulvers are at this link This subject has been beat to death in so far as it relates to new pipes and pipes you own that for one reason or another develop bowl issues. However, there are several issues raised when aftermarket sellers coat or recoat the bowls...

    Interesting Radice Article

    Is here Like most long time pipe smokers/collectors, there are many pipes that I have traded away over the years that I would love to have back. Somewhere towards the top of the list would be an early 1980's Clear Dublin,. It was not stamped G, for giant, though it could have been. It was not...

    Five new Germain products coming?

    Link to you tubr Apparently about 7 months ago a guy in the Philly area snagged five new Germain products at his local B & M. The above link takes you to his review of the first two, Club Mixture and Bridge - Old Brown Flake. The second video, which is easy enough to find since it is by the same...

    Is Dr.Bradley's Mixture a codger blend?

    I got some from Iwan Ries yesterday, smoked a bowl this morning. I am not sure what the qualifications are to be given the now seemingly honorable label of codger blend. Does it qualify? Nothing offensive in the first bowl, which was less than optimally dry, but I can fix that. Reminded me of...

    One of Shelby Foote's pipesx

    A good story With the interest in Civil War books, I thought forumites might like this story. Jiminks, seems he used Edward G in mixing his own blend.

    A 15 Gram Castello

    Single k Single k sized Castellos are relatively scarce in Europe, I have not seen any advertised for several months. Almost unknown in the US. A new k 55 was on eBay a month or so ago, an Old Antiquari, and brought more than Italian retail, but then no shop in Italy with a web presence had...

    Ser Jacopo Luciano background and flexible drilling

    There is some interesting history behind this link I have no stake in this auction. However, it might be of background interest to my fellow Ser Jacopo afficianodos. As many of you know, Giancarlo Guidi used a "flexible drill" that allowed him to drill air passages on a continuous curve, thus...

    Vulcanite premium $ over lucite stems

    In browsing around the various pipe porn sites I am addicted to, something finally registered with me that I had not been paying attention to. Radice, as some of you might know, has long offered both Vulcanite and lucite stems. I was vaguely aware that the Vulcanite stems cost more. However...

    Dunhill whatever?

    WTF? Since they are a Forum sponsor, perhaps it is OK to post this. Presumably, this pipe was made intentionally. I have not seen another one, but that doesn't mean as much as it used to. Not sure why the contrast on my links is so weak, but the first line is a link.
