    Price Reductions FS/FT: 10 Estate Pipes (Lot 5): Muxiang, Big Ben, Road Town, Viking, Balandis, Alpha (10/25/2025)

    Been a few months since I have listed some more pipes from the estate collection, finally had some time to grab images. All are lightly smoked. I've tried to do my research on past sales prices and priced below them for the most part. Some I'm guessing, I'm not an expert by any means so am open...

    WTB: Sleepy Hollow (10-14-25)

    Hadn't realized it dropped this season yet, called today to place my order and was told it was all sold out. I'm on the wait list in case more becomes available, but if anyone bought too much I'd be happy to swap some greenbacks for it Edit: Please add date to your title/Corrected/Al

    Looking to Expand the Inventory...Taking Recommendations

    Been smoking a lot of different pipe tobaccos over the past year and have added a few to my rotation, but am looking to expand my horizons. Looking for recommendations based off the blends I found I liked: Peterson Nightcap GL Pease Quiet Nights Cornell & Diehl Pirate Kake Strauss Sleepy Hollow...

    WWII-era Tank Pipe Stand

    Found this on eBay last week, going to sit it on the corner of my desk at work with my pipe on the corner. Estimate it to be circa-WWII era.

    FS/FT: 10 Estate Pipes (Lot 4): Ice Age, Vuillard, Vanguard, Mr. Brog, >Antique< (7/5/2025)

    Fourth group of pipes from the recent collection I bought. All are lightly smoked. I've tried to do my research on past sales prices and priced below them for the most part. Some I'm guessing, I'm not an expert by any means so am open to discussions. I've priced those I found listed as new at...

    Rolando Negoita Bent Egg Oom Paul

    While I certainly appreciate the masterful craftsmanship of his work, more of Rolando's pieces are a bit too eclectic for my personal tastes. However, a couple weeks ago I stumbled upon this particular Oom Paul style pipe on eBay and, having finished my online degree program a few days prior...

    Peterson Bowl Cracked During Alcohol Cleaning

    Was trying to pull the old tar and remnants from an Estate Peterson. Did a cotton ball and alcohol for two days and then switched to salt. When I dropped to the alcohol onto the salt I felt a leak and saw that the bowl had cracked. While I'm sure this is beyond repair, I'm curious what may have...

    Increasing Cloudiness on Half of Amber Stem

    Here's an odd one. Bought an antique 1914 meer to restore and smoke a couple months ago. When I got it, the stem was pretty clear: I washed the pipe and stem in soap and water, and it got a little cloudy: Today, I cleaned with some Everclear to get the gunk out of it, and the cloudiness has...

    FS: Estate Lot 3 - 10 Pipes: Vauen, Peterson, Marso, Crown, Lloyds, More (27 Apr 2025)

    All are lightly smoked. I've tried to do my research on past sales prices for used and priced similarly. Some I'm guessing, I'm not an expert by any means so am open to discussions. I've priced those I found listed as new at about half price to account for the light smoking. I'm open to...

    Anyone Tried These Meerschaum Filters?

    Been seeing these things pop up on etsy lately...allegedly universal and fit in the bottom of most bowls. As I tend to smoke while I do yard work often, it can get a little...moist...at the bottom of the bowl and a good clump of tobacco tends to go unsmoked because of it. Was thinking of using...

    Pipe Stem Fade in Soap & Water?

    Have had this happen with a few pipes in the lot I bought...I soak them in soap and water with the rest and they dry super faded. Is this something that stem polish corrects? Or am I inadvertently bleaching them? It's just dawn and water

    Big Ben Jades

    Pulled these out of the recent estate lot. I haven't found any other Big Bens, but the previous owner seemed to really like the Jades since he had three of them. Only found a couple posts on the forum discussing them and they were closed to replies, but by all accounts they smoke beautifully...

    Savinelli Autograph...Did I Stumble on a Gem?

    Sifting slowly through the mountain of pipes I acquired today, mostly in search of keepers when I noticed this Oom Paul style marked Savinelli Autograph. Seems this line is pretty popular with unused pipes listing between $300 and $1500 pre-sale on Smoking Pipes...

    Shortening Pipes

    I am primarily a fan of shorter nose-warmer type pipes, largely because I have the opportunity often to smoke outside while I work and it frees up by hands, stays out of the way, and doesn't pull heavily on my mouth. That said, I've noticed a distinct lack of shorter pipes out there, but have...

    Antique House-Shaped Pipe

    Thought this pipe was way too cool not to pick up. Sadly there's a crack in the shank, so not sure it's smokeable, but just thought it was fun and I collect antique carved pipes. Only thing that would make it cooler is if there was a hole in the chimney so it could still be smoked with the roof...

    Stem Hallmark: *M or *W...

    Can anyone identify this Hallmark? On the stem of an unmarked pipe, appears to be an M or W over/under an asterisk

    Bought an Estate Worth of Pipes

    Had no idea how many pipes we're truly in this collection when offered to me, came home today to find a massive box filled with about 200+ pipes and 8 or 9 vintage pipe stands. Some broken, as expected when shipped in a giant box together. I really can't complain though because there was more...

    Refurbished an Antique Meer to Smoke

    Just picked up this nose warmer from 1914 and my intent is to smoke it, as I am particularly fond of short pipes. Breathes fine but a pipe cleaner won't run straight through the bowl, assuming it may be unaligned in the tenon over years. Stem twists a bit canted but I can tighten that up with...

    Best Figural Meerschaum Carvers Taking Commissions?

    I have a thing for antique carved figural meers, but alas it seems to be a fading artform. Even some of today's master carvers seem to struggle with carving good full-figured characters. I am toying with the idea of commissioning a meer commemorating my time in Scandinavia with a scene of...
