    Genod Commemorative Pipe ID Help

    Don’t really need much help Identifying the pipe, it’s pretty straightforward. It’s a a Genod. But it was made to commemorate an event of some sort, I’m hoping someone might be able to tell me what was. It’s stamped: CFPQ 1982-1992 21 My guess is Chickens For Performance Quality

    Building Large Pipe Racks For Large Pipes.

    My pipe collection has gotten to a point where I needed to do something different with my pipe rack situation. My cabinet has far more pipes in it than it has rack space and many of my pipes are just too big for the the racks I currently have. I also wanted to be able to put cased pipes in...

    Replacing a Kaywoodie Stem With Logo and Stinger.

    A friend asked me to make a new stem for this 1930’s Thorn. Here’s some pictures of the logo transfer process. The new stem is black acrylic hand cut from rod stock. The original stinger was used on the new stem. Here’s the new stem roughed out. Removing the logo from the old stem with a very...

    Seeking Info on French Pipe Company

    If anyone has any Info on a company called Chavet Freres or possibly Chauvet Freres, I've come up empty handed. They used the stamp C.F and that's about all I know. I'm not even sure if they were a tobacconist or a manufacturer, or maybe both.

    Resto of a C.P.F. Chesterfield

    I thought I’d do a little write up of a light resto I did on a turn of the century C.P.F./KB&B Chesterfield oval shank billiard I did. I got this pipe for a song on eBay. C.P.F. Are somewhat uncommon and this one was made sometime between 1898 and 1920ish. The before…

    Repairing a Broken Pipe Case.

    A while back @Ahi Ka gifted me a very cool pipe that needed some love (more on the pipe later). One of the things it was in need off was some case repair. The tip of the case around the button had been broken off one side of the clamshell. The repair is not a restoration, more of functional...

    Chamber Repair Mud Vs. Waterglass

    There seems to be some confusion about the different methods of bowl repair, so let me try shed some light on this. There are two primary methods of interior chamber repair and they accomplish different things. They are for the most part not interchangeable. Pipe Mud- a thick mixture of ash...

    Tiny Meerschaum Cutty With History

    I recently acquired this very small meerschaum cutty, the pipe if it can even be called that is fairly unremarkable. I suspect it's actually a cigarette holder or small cheroot holder. It's what's stamped on the case that makes it remarkable. Now I know that @condorlover1 and @sablebrush52 both...

    Peterson NAP Stem 2.0

    Some of you may recall my attempt to make a NAP stem a while back turned out kinda bulky. Well, I decided to give it another. I recently acquired a pretty rough pre-republic system (3) 12/312 from @bayareabriar thought it would be a good candidate for an amber acrylic NAP stem. So here ya go…...

    A Mysterious Bulldog

    I spotted this pipe on eBay a while back and was immediately intrigued by it, I find the shape very appealing. But it’s a little strange in the sense that there is nearly zero indication who made it. There are some clues in what little stamping it has, but not many. It’s what I would describe...

    Presbyterian Reformation, Bulk Equivalent?

    Rosebery Extra Meerschaum

    This Rosebery meerschaum apple looks to have come by its color the hard way, by being smoked.. It was a little ashy when I got it and missing it stem. I cleaned it up and made a new stem for it from red amber acrylic rod stock. It’s worth noting that is an actual army mount and note a...
