It's like the police, they don't catch all illegal activity. I wouldn't take it personal.- antbauers

PAD So Bad Someone Needs to Take My Cards (Pic Heavy)
That Von Erck was the first thing to catch my eye in the SP email. Such a gorgeous pipe. -
Starfire TR Before/After Refurb
Everyone pretty much stated on point about the great work and on the pipe itself. According to your info. it seems to be even more collectable than I thought. Although if it wasn't I'd still love it and I'd have to say it's one of my favorite refurbs you've done. As always great work and thanks...- antbauers

Is It Taboo For New Members To Post Critically Of Local Merchant experiences?
I forgot to mention either way, I think you could return to the shop without feeling awkward. Even if it's just to purchase tobacco. Although, I don't think I'd shop there anymore either. Hopefully they learned something from the situation as well. Now if you return to tell us that it was dry...- antbauers

Is It Taboo For New Members To Post Critically Of Local Merchant experiences?
In regarding to her saying it is not really an estate, I think she meant because it was unsmoked. You can have an estate pipe, which is not brand new that is unsmoked. I'm assuming that's why it was in the estate section and problably why the vulcanite stem oxidized so quick. Also it being...- antbauers

Wow those are great looking pipes Menuhin. I love the all black and also the white stem. I just wished they had the falcon logos. :wink: -
My Latest Brian Ruthenberg Estate Pipe Purchased From Pipestud.
Very nice lovat! Great smoker for sure, but I still hope it smokes even better than you expect. It's well deserved. :wink: -
Chicago pipe show loot
Nice haul! Love the Castello dublin. I can imagine they'd all be great performers. The thin bit and large button on the Novak looks like it's still be comfortable to clench despite the weight from the shank. -
Custom-Bilt. restoration
Thanks for the enlightenment snagstangl, that's interesting. I guess it's like signature dots for that filter system that also serves a purpose. Is there a cross section on how the filter system works? Couldn't find the patent to understand what makes this one different. @smoothsailing - I'm...- antbauers

This Is Why I love Mr. Snuff...
That's a good recommendation, the Wilsons rasberry is really good. I like to mix it with Red Bull snuff to punch it up. I love paring Hedges L260 with Condor. For me its a great combo. There was a thread in the past about paring pipes and snuff. Also even sprinkling it in the bowl, but I can't...- antbauers

Peck's Chicago Haul
And now matching dublin Cookes also, I'm in awe. lol That sounds like a great time. I didn't picture the show to be that way. Also not that anyone needs the alcohol to be persuaded but I can't imagine having any type of restraint while floating in alcohol. -
Peck's Chicago Haul
Wow, F*&$@&' awesome! Your prolly getting to it but is that also your first your Markel? I remember chatting with you a while ago about his engineering being top notch. I've checked out some of his work since then but never in person. If it is the first, glad to see you finally got one. -
Do pre-colored meerschaum pipes continue to color?
I'm not sure which of the two yours might be but I'm with flatticus that it's colored wax. I wouldn't worry about it fading, it's common to re-wax your meer every now and again, some chose not to because they like it. It's also possible that the wax will last. Pruss, a member here has one...- antbauers
