    Yellow Twist Tobacco, My First Seeds!

    I ordered some yellow twist tobacco seeds today. A bit late but we have a long growing season. It is my first foray into growing tobacco. I was looking for an easy to grow and easy to cute tobacco for my first attempt. I am excited to see how it goes!

    Some New Pipe Racks.

    I have quickly run out of rack space with my restorations. I found a couple new racks at my local antique shop. Not particularly old but nice racks for a good price. Both racks are oak. The first rack is very blond and likely poly coated as stain would not take. A bit of black paint and some...

    Finally Cleaned up my Shop Finds.

    I posted last week of this Comoy Everyman, Barlings and Captain Browne I found at my local shop for cheap. I finally got some time to clean them up. I would not call it a full restore, just a good cleaning and fixing issues. I gave them all a good reeming and got the lava off the rim. A...

    Estate Pipe Finds- soon to be restored

    Hit my local shop where I recently found a Stanwell and an unmarked Lovat for cheap The seller put out a few more pipes. These looked worthy of a home restore and were all less than a cup of coffee. One is a Capt Brown Old English Favorite. Nice pipe with a nice slight curve to the stem. A...

    Shop Find, a Stanwell and a ?

    Stopped my a local shop, they must have just bought an estate with several “new” pipes. I found a Kaywoodie for a buddy. In another case I noticed a Dublin style pipe with an S and a crown! $5 so I was pretty excited . I also got a nice $5 Lovat with the same shell briar finish but all it...

    $2 Pipe Lot, 1866 Patent Date.

    I found a jar of pipe parts at a junk shop for $2. Most are junk but I saw one that just looked older to me, and another I think is salvageable. All the bowls and stems were loose so I am assuming I have them matched right, as they would not fit any other way. Could be original stems, could be...

    Rum Blend Recommendations

    I am looking for a good rum/molasses/navy style tobacco to try. I got a can of C&D Black Frigate as the reviews said it was very good, rum and molasses hints. I get a nasty copenhagen tin note and am undecided if I would buy it again (doubt I would). I find it a bit bitter and spicy and not...

    Carey “Magic Inch” Shop Find

    Stopped by my local antique shop on the way home. A mix of vintage and shabby chic. There was some pipe stuff but nothing I cared for or was willing to spend. I saw this little pipe and grabbed it for $6. A Carey Magic Inch. I was an impulse buy as it was cheap and looked nice enough, and I...

    I May Be A Lovat Pipe Convert

    I am pretty new to the site but have several pipe styles in my small collection; clay, hand carved, metal and reed, half bent dublin, half bent billiard, demi-churchwarden, Canadian, billiard and just reconditioned what may have opened my eyes. An older Kaywoodie 7740, which I believe is a...

    Whitehall Restore

    Just finished up this Whitehall. I found it in the shop for $6 and it has a beautiful piece of burl. It took a good clean, reem, soak and wax but came out nice. I will let it dry for a few days before smoking, but hoping it smokes as good as it looks!

    Kaywoodie Drinkless Clean-up

    I found this Kaywoodie in a local shop for $6. The burl looked nice and it was just in need of a deep cleaning. The stem was full of tar, I used my ultrasonic cleaner to help clean out all the small ports on the drinkless stem, then alcohol and pipe cleaners/Q tips on the stem and shank. I...

    A simple clean/restore

    I am pretty new to cleaning pipes but found this for $5 at the fleamart. A good deep cleaning and waxing and it came out pretty nice. Likely a basket pipe? The only marking is Hudson Bay Special and London Made

    Pipe ID help?

    I know its a long shot but I just got this bent dublin pipe. It seems like a nice quality pipe and I love the shape. Out of my own curiosity I have been trying to find a possible maker but looking at the marks am guessing it could be a custom pipe as the marks are not what I would consider...
