    Found A Comoy's Over The Weekend

    Hello everyone. I had some time to kill last Friday so I dropped into an antique shop and found this Comoy's. I was very inexpensive. Looks like a painted on C. Nice prince shape and it looks like it was smoked only a few times. Here's all the stamping: There is also this "E" stamped on...

    Pipe Box Brand Identification Help

    I came across an image of an old pipe in a box that I haven't seen before. The image is grainy and the brand in the box is blurry. It's a low quality photo. Maybe someone has seen one of these and can help identify the brand of pipe that might be in the box? Any help would be appreciated...

    Unsmoking A Vintage Pipe

    How do you do it? I get stuck on semantics sometimes. When the months get cold and I don't feel like jumping into my car to go on pipe hunts as often as usual, EBay starts to fill my PAD void. I keep seeing the words "vintage" regarding used and "unsmoked" to explain the pipe has not been used...

    A Few Antique Store Scores

    My lady friend and I were returning home yesterday from a road trip to Niagara Falls. We hit a few antique stores on the way back and she managed to nose these out for me; A Longchamp cased set that has never been smoked, an old Ben Wade Danish Pride that needs some tlc but is in very nice shape...

    Stuginario - Pipe Maker

    I think that's what the name says. Stuginario. I am 90% sure that this one was purchased by the original owner in one of the old shops in NYC. Barclay Rex or Pipeworks & Wilke is my guess. It's a freehand with some beautiful old wood looking type grain. Has anyone ever seen a pipe with...

    Niemyer Royal Irish Blend

    Has anyone ever tried this stuff? I was lucky enough to grab an old tin of this off of pipestud's website (Boy, you have to be quick on there!). The only info I could gather about the tobacco is that it has no topping and is a plug made up of Virginias and unknown. Packs a nic punch too. Has...

    Help Please Stanwell Selected Briar

    I've seen a lot of you on here do some rim repairs that are not to invasive on old pipes. I have this Stanwell Selected Briar on the bench right now. This thing has some nice grain on it. It's almost a chimney stack. The first issue I came across is some rim char that extends into the briar...

    Found Some Nice Old Smokers

    Hello all. I haven't ever really been active on the forums here. I'm quite the lurker though. I found some pipes this weekend. I'm always looking for them. I thought I'd share this batch with you folks on here because I got pretty excited about some of them and maybe some of you are like minded...

    Question About The Older Ben Wade Freehands

    Question About The Older Ben Wade Freehands. They are my weekness. I stumbled upon a website based out of Denmark years ago that sells estate pipes. I figured, what better place to get what I'm looking for? On the site this week, I found some London made Ben Wades. What confused me is a London...

    Any Suggestions For A Good Driving Tobacco?

    I'll be on the road tonight for a good 600 to 700 miles and I'm looking for suggestions on an easy smoking, cool burning, high end of medium nic hit baccy that I can easily load into my cobs. Something I can smoke and not think about to much. I'm not really into aros or anything flavored. What...

    Opening Draw On A Bent Pipe. How?

    I've tried to open up an airway on a bent pipe before and failed miserably. Straightening out a bent stem made out of vulcanite, ebonite or the like is simple enough. I've used a heat gun to make the stem material pliable and the memory in the material helps to straighten itself out. Simple...

    The Pipe, Venturi, The Smoke

    All three names in the title are basically the same pipe that was given different names throughout decades. I'm sure some have heard of it. I've found a lot of information on these things because I got into a conversation about Venturi pipes with someone while I was in a tobacco shop. Inquiring...

    Can Anyone Identify This Pipe?

    Hello to all. I picked up this chunky old pipe a while back. I put it in my pile and forgot about it for over a year. The stamp on the briar looks like it says E. Geling or E. Jeling. It's difficult to make out. It's a big and solid looking pipe. I bet it would smoke the hell out of a flake or...

    Pipe Related Stuff and a Glass Pig

    I'm not the biggest contributor to this site but over the last few months I've picked up some things that are interesting. I couldn't find the time to post. I've had leaks in my house, problems with the car, papers to sign, promises to make and issues with my head. Now that things are sorted...

    GBD Prehistoric

    Hello to all A very good friend of mine recently won this GBD Prehistoric on ebay for about $20. I'm not crazy about GBD pipes but that's probably just because I don't own one... yet. He was wondering about the particulars of the pipe. I haven't really brushed up on GBD nomenclature or their...

    Estate Pipe Cleaning - When Is Enough Enough?

    This question is for those of us who look for, smoke, purchase and receive estate pipes. Personally, I love them. I have a few nice old pipes I've collected, some mid grade smokers and even some no names. I enjoy cleaning them up so others and I can enjoy the quality of an old smoker. Lots of...

    Kaywoodie Super Grain Pot Shaped X

    I finished up the stem on this little thing. The shape number looks like 08 or 09 X. The stamping is very faint. Does anyone know about the X on this pipe? I've never come across a Kaywoodie stamped with an X. [/URL][/img] [/url][/img] The rim was black and a little miffed up. I didn't do...

    J.M. estate pipe clean up

    I picked up this little thing because I saw the potential for a nice smoker for myself. The only stamping on the briar is "J.M." inside an oval. [/url][/img] The stamp might be visible in this photo. I thought it might be an old Boswell but I can't say for sure. [/url][/img] I cleaned the...

    E. Wilke Pipes - What Do I Have Here? (Pic heavy)

    So I've had this pipe for a few years and I could never figure out what the nomenclature said. Today, I took a zoomed in pic and it says E. Wilke N.Y.C. I started googling around for pics of E. Wilkes pipes, stamping and such but I didn't see a shape like this one. The only lead I have is from a...

    Kaywoodie stem with no stamping on briar?

    Now this confused me. I've seen a lot of Kaywoodies but never one like this. No Nomenclature. I was thinking that maybe someone sanded and refinished it but everything seems to line up. There is no step down between the metal in the shank and the wood. I figured that if some material were...
