A reply to Burley Claus
My Secret Santa was Burley Claus and what he sent me was absolutely awesome. I therefore feel I need to respond to Burley Claus and the tobacco's he so kindly gave me.

Is there anything worse than murder?
I bought an auction lot of old estate pipes a couple of weeks ago and when I got them home I noticed the familiar glimmer of a metal mount from a Peterson's at the bottom of the box.

Is this a Peterson?
I just recently aquired some estate pipes on fleabay. One of them really intrigued me because it looks and feels like a Peterson, but doesn't have the name on it. The only clue is the "Made in London England" stamp in block letters on the shank. I've only come across English made Peterson's... -
To Sell or Not to Sell, that is the question?
I have been renovating pipes for a few months now and am constantly looking for new stock to renovate.
