Pipe Shapes Outside Your Comfort Zone
Anthony--I feel exactly as you do. There's nothing about that bamboo pipe that I 'should' like considering the shapes I gravitate toward and enjoy. But the second I saw the acorn/pear/bamboo wonder, I knew I had to get it. And I still absolutely love it.- drydock

Camelia Canadian before and after
Great to know, thanks guys! When I get the pipe all done, I'll add a finished pic. I'm still so delighted/surprised that the plastic ring turned out to be silver. And it's a nice small/medium size.- drydock

Pipe Shapes Outside Your Comfort Zone
I also highly favor bent pipes. But when I saw this straight bamboo, acorn/pear shaped pipe, I fell in love. Since then, the acorn shape in general (yachtsman/tomahawk/acorn) has grown on me. It's odd how you can dislike a shape for years, and then one pipe can sort of lead to an entirely new...- drydock

Camelia Canadian before and after
I recently picked up this old Canadian estate pipe. It was pretty filthy, but I liked the rusticated exterior and the odd stem. I started to clean the old gal up: And what a surprise! I'm about half-way done with the restoration here, and discovered a silver band. I had thought it was plastic...- drydock

Please help ID this pipe shape?
Pagan: Found it by accident online while searching for one of Pipkin's "Preacher's Anses." (No luck). I was really taken by the round, rusticated, canted bowl. Feels great, looks great. Looking forward to seeing how she smokes.- drydock

Please help ID this pipe shape?
LOL! So it's a little bit of a grab bag then? I like all the above mentioned shapes, and that's clearly why this pipe zinged for me. Glad I'm on the right track. :) Thanks for the reply.- drydock

Please help ID this pipe shape?
Hey pipe friends, what would you call the above shape? Is it a fat belge? A long devil anse? A bent acorn/egg? A weird apple? The number was 0441--but I can't find a corresponding Ardor shape at their site. Please help. And thank you!- drydock

5 estate pipes, a mixed bag and some unknowns
The Jobey is a simple push tenon, so I think I'm lucky there. I do find its bent apple/prince shape(?) attractive. I wonder who the fellow was who owned these prior? His selection of shapes has grown on me. I shall restore them myself to a bit of their former glory. Won't be as classy as a... -
5 estate pipes, a mixed bag and some unknowns
I'll absolutely post some pictures after these old pipes are clean. All the stems appear in good shape: no big dents or cracks. I'm already picturing how pretty these stems will be shiny and black. kenbarnes, thanks for the info about the Charatan.! Now armed with a name and shape I can do more... -

5 estate pipes, a mixed bag and some unknowns
I recently picked up these 5 old pipes as a mixed-lot for a buck a pipe. All are pretty filthy and need some TLC. Some I've ID'd, some I've guessed about and one I've no idea. Maybe you guys can lend some knowledge and let me know if I'm wrong? First up is the much maligned Jobey. It marked... -
Jim's Heinrichs Grand Crue Reserve No. 2 Review.
To be honest, it's that I've got a bit of a backlog going on in terms of tobacco, and I need to get through a few others first. Not a bad problem to have, no complaints! :)- drydock

Jim's Heinrichs Grand Crue Reserve No. 2 Review.
This is one that I put immediately in the cellar, hoping to forget about it and let it age happily away. But your review has awakened the Devil on my shoulder who is telling me to GO OPEN IT!- drydock

Brown Sugar Flake: Review With Pictures.
You know, I've always read Brown Sugar Flake, not as brown sugar flake, but rather as brown sugar flake--indicating a sweet flake in the vast line-up of Samuel Gawith's many "brown" tobaccos. Brown No. 4, Brown Pigtail, Brown Rope, Brown Rope Rum, Brown Rope Whiskey, Brown Sugar Flake, Brown...- drydock

Brown Sugar Flake: Review With Pictures.
I'm excited to try this too. I ordered a couple tins from the Danish Pipe Shop in October, have them cellaring. Seems like something that will do well with a little time on their side.- drydock
