    Two Estate Finds at Antique Shop Today!

    I picked up these two rather uncared for pipes for a tenner at the antiques shop today, a Stanwell Royal Prince and a Carey Magic Inch - the latter of which I'd only read about a couple of days ago I think from @BurleyVonPuffington. Looking forward to getting these in better condition! I'll...

    Skiff Mixture vs Squadron Leader

    I've been trying to replace the STG blends I had in my rotation with Gawith Hoggarth blends, and I'm getting towards the end of my last tin of Early Morning Pipe. My question is which of these 2 English blends I should try replacing it with

    Help Identifying No-Name Prince

    I have this rusticated no-name prince pipe, it smokes extremely well and has quite a unique rustication but I know nothing about it - bought at an antique shop. It has symmetrical markings on the rim of the bowl but beyond that I can't see any identifying features - interestingly there's a part...

    New to Me B&M in Scotland

    This morning I went to Perth to visit B.A. Kerrigan's, which I knew as an old fashioned sweet shop as a child and never realised was also an old fashioned tobacconists! Bought myself a basket pipe from their selection as well as some Black Irish X Twist, some American Delite, and some Kentucky...

    Finely Aged?

    The other weekend I was up at the big fancy (read: overpriced) antique shop at Abernyte, which is a lot more curated than the one nearby I usually go to (no fun heaps of stuff on the floor to look through) and I found some old tobacco tins. To my surprise, a couple of the tins were still full...

    Estate Kaywoodie Churchwarden

    I was given an early xmas present today of an old kaywoodie churchwarden! The vulcanite stem needs a little cleaning, the metal a polish, the stummel a wax and the bowl a ream, but it's beautiful! A London made kaywoodie apparently, will post photos later this evening

    Burley Blends Available in UK?

    Have enjoyed Amphora Original and Solani Aged Burley Flake more than most other blends I've tried and was wondering if anyone can recommend more burley blends available in the UK? Searching on here has got me a load of US recommendations that I can't find

    Old Tobacco Tin - Will's Golden Bar

    Picked up an old pipe tobacco tin today so that I can carry my baccy in something that doesn't have a garish health warning plastered over half the tin - any of you old codgers ever smoked this blend before? puffy

    Not a Smoking Pipe Question

    @bullet08 I understand you're a fellow piper (not the kind that call themselves pipers on here, but the piobaireachd kind) :P Ever heard of or played an elfsong enchantress? They're not expensive and I'm sorely tempted to buy one, essentially a penny whistle with bagpipe fingering, I live in a...

    Old Pipe? Weird Shape

    Is this an old pipe and if so what's the name of this shape? Never seen one like it before, a friend spotted it at a museum of living history and asked me about it, I'm not even sure it is a tobacco pipe

    Antique Shop Find - Cutty

    I need to stop nipping into the antique shop on my lunch break 😅 just spent 20 quid on this meerschaum cutty, it looks to have been barely smoked, no makers marks on it or the case. There were a couple of others in worse shape, one with some nice silverwork but no stem for £15 but I kept my PAD...

    Haunted Bookshop in the UK?

    Keep seeing you yanks talking about Haunted Bookshop like it's a staple and can't help but feel a little left out, does anyone know whether any UK retailers stock it? I've had a wee nosey but haven't been able to find any

    Britain's Best Briar Pipe Found in Antique Shop - Should I Buy?

    Found this lovely looking pipe in an antique shop yesterday on my lunch break, really tempted to go back and buy it today - what do you lot think? Anyone know what the stampings mean?

    Help Identifying Ben Wade Pipe

    I picked this up at an antiques shop for just under a tenner, you can very faintly see "Ben Wade" and "Colindale" in cursive on the bottom of the shank, but it's almost rubbed off. Sorry for the bad quality photo, it's damned hard to get the light right to catch it it's so worn smooth. I can't...

    Help Identifying Basket Pipes and an Antique Find

    The first 3 are basket pipes I picked up from a local newsagents (the reddish one was my first pipe and I had no idea what I was looking for). I asked the shopkeeper where he gets them from and he said Peterson's, so I assumed they were Peterson seconds - but none of them have any marking...
