1923 Dunhill P10 --- Sandblast From Another World (Restored & Re-Stemmed)
Really, really nice. I have had a few blocks sandblast with that kind of crazy swirling grain, but never that depth or detail as you said. Stunning piece.- ricebiscuit

Fishtanks Anyone?
I used to have a saltwater fish tank during college and for a few years after. Clowns, Anthias, Damsels for fish and lots of different corals. Always seemed to be more interested in the corals for some reason. Would love to get back into it, but jeez its expensive.- ricebiscuit

What are the Benefits to a Lovat Shape
"While true, the differential is infinitessimly small." Agree, but better none the less. For some, it doesnt matter if the change is discernible. Mentally it makes it better and thats all that matters. "Different physics. The inner tube starts off cold, and moisture condenses inside the tube."...- ricebiscuit

What are the Benefits to a Lovat Shape
I guess longer time in the briar is a poor way to phrase it. A greater briar to ebonite ratio would be beneficial. Smoke travelling through briar is better than smoke travelling through ebonite or metal tubing. The briar will absorb the moisture in the smoke better that ebonite will. Same...- ricebiscuit

What are the Benefits to a Lovat Shape
I had always heard one of the benefits to the Lovat shape was that the smoke stayed in contact with the briar for a longer amount of time. Whether that is actually detectable is a different animal, but in principle it makes sense. Now the ultimate exercise is shape fluidity is the difference...- ricebiscuit

Dunhill Pipes Are Overrated
I was able to find a patent era dunhill (1953 shape 137 to be exact) earlier this year on ebay for about $120. Took a shot on it to see what all the fuss was about. It is now one of my favorite pipes. Amazing smoker. I would vouch for older dunhills being worth their price. Plus they are fun to...- ricebiscuit

Pipe price
Per Toms website- the stems are hand finished acrylic. That’s a pretty big difference in time. I would say that alone is a large part of the price difference. At least for me, making a stem is about half the total time to make a traditional shaped pipe.- ricebiscuit

What is the Most Polarizing Pipe Shape?
I would throw the Castello 55 shape into the mix of polarizing shapes. In the same vein as a hawkbill. Funny thing is I love 55's but cant stand a hawkbill.- ricebiscuit
