    Opening A Tin? Show Us!

    No. From 2003. My bowl is still drying out, but the smell is pretty nice.

    Chasing Grain

    Have an example of the block pre-cut? I see what you mean with the grain rounding in, so that is why you went ballish shape? I’m curious what that looks like to your eye when you had the block. Or if it was “upside down” and cut, would it not round in, or is that not doable? Know very little...

    Possibly My First Dunhill Pipe

    Man, it’s always a tough one. I’d say sell it so you can buy more. She is a beauty!

    New (To Me) Stand

    lol. I have some nice Brit wood in her. And several pieces on top of it. I only finished cleaning 2 of the 7 day set of Pete’s. I figured if I see them in there it will motivate me to clean the rest.

    New (To Me) Stand

    Mrs already told me it has to go! Ahaha. I’ll try to see if it grows on her. I’ll enjoy it while I can.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    Do you think it was just a random photo that got inserted? It would have definitely stopped me from bidding if I saw that discrepancy. Good eye

    Charatan Question

    This one is pretty large. Were your #3’s smaller than your #4?

    Correct Way to Measure Bent Billiard Length?

    Is the length of a bent billiard or oom paul taken from the front of the bowl to the rear of the stem staying parallel to the rim? Or is the length a diagonal measurement from the heal of the bowl to the rear of stem? Or both?

    Charatan Question

    I’ve been really trying to understand Charatan Dating the last few years and this thread has really helped a lot. I really appreciate the knowledge you guys share. I also learned a thing or 2 about the Sasieni town name dating. This one I’m guessing is a 1955-1962?

    Spritzing Hydrogen Peroxide on Whole Leaf

    I think Home Blenders need to be more aligned with Alchemy. Maybe there is some play on words more clever and wittier folks than me can think of. Nicotiana tabacum Transmuteria

    Charatan Question

    You seem to know quite a bit. I like your references. Agreed about the observation of freehand reliefs; you can always tell “later model ones” apart. Do you consider Lane Era from when they bought the company, or from 1955 on? Just curious what the consensus is.

    GBD Prehistoric Bent Billiard Restored

    That’s a good’in. I like seeing the color pop after you cleaned her up. Also… someone get this guy a new ruler from a more local establishment. lol.
