Bad Idea To Strip Finish On A Cheaper Pipe And Leave It That Way
I actually regret staining the crummy one I had that I had got back to natural. The dye was darker than I had hoped and now it looks pretty ugly. Hey-it smokes though.- cosgringo

Bad Idea To Strip Finish On A Cheaper Pipe And Leave It That Way
That's a good job! Well at this point, I am hoping the pro I am friendly with (bought a few pipes from him) will fix that and another I sent (Butz Choq that bleeds bad even though it's a NOS). He's very generous with me and he's and expert. Shoot- restoring violins is his first love. Love love...- cosgringo

Unnamed Briar Pipe FULL Restore ; Good Seller So Should I
Shall do if it's there in the morning (well it is but I've not slept yet). So in the late morning? He's a good guy. Thanks for edging me over to the dark side or the force in this case. -
Unnamed Briar Pipe FULL Restore ; Good Seller So Should I
So I don't need another pipe but I am upset the Nording I just got has a pipe whistle for a stem that I have need replaced or- well let's see what they do via Amazon/Tobacco Pipes. I am set but this person has sold me my 2nd best pipe and it's in great shape and I converse with him. Good guy... -
Pipe Tobacco For A Cigarette Smoker - Not For Me
Thanks all- I will pass this along. I've never rolled cigar tobacco and well no need to since I've spent a lot of time and money on my pipes. Well- and I don't inhale (I did not steal that line darn it). I am sure my buddy will appreciate it a ton.- cosgringo

Pipe Tobacco For A Cigarette Smoker - Not For Me
Hey- so I detest cigarettes honestly but I have an old high school pal that I am sure will never kick or change. Is there a certain type of pipe tobacco that makes for a decent cigarette smoker similar to the junk he smokes such as those generic Indian Tobac's I think they are called? Just...- cosgringo

Favorite Large Bowl Cool Smoking Bent Pipe New Approx $200
Thanks- it makes sense. I feel overwhelmed by all the models / shapes to be honest. I have a lot going on besides pipes- the horror! So I really am suddenly attracted (well online pics) to the Sherlock series like Watson. I have heard some smoke hot. I would like to avoid that though realizing... -
Favorite Large Bowl Cool Smoking Bent Pipe New Approx $200
Thanks- I am betting I got something from him on Amazon. I really want to get a NICE pipe with what I have to burn. I am stocking up on ones that need attention and that's fine. I have a handful of quite serviceable ones now, also. I don't see a day too soon for the magic say $500 pipe. Shoot-... -
Favorite Large Bowl Cool Smoking Bent Pipe New Approx $200
So can you point one out on this page? I ask because as mentioned- I really only have Amazon $ lol. Credits and a gift card. I tried searching on "Qandale" and no luck. I did see a reference to "626". Now I do have a 320KS and I like it. It has a couple growing pains but it's young and smokes... -

Apparently $200 must be a "pipe dream"- ha, or everyone is out buying bleach and hazmat suits. -
Health Concerns.
Well I'm screwed I guess. The filters kill it for me and my whole ritual is typically at a late hour when I find it proper for an adult beverage. I am going green though and will not taking up precious land with tongueless body. Burn me along with a nice esoterica mix.- cosgringo

Favorite Large Bowl Cool Smoking Bent Pipe New Approx $200
So any suggestions? I was got a gift card so sadly I have to use Amazon but I have rewards also. So I have heard the Sav Miele Honey's are wonderful but I also feel drawn to Peterson Holmes types. I have a handful of estates right now. I may like the estate Nording handmade older well restored... -
Health Concerns.
I think the balsa in some Savinelli's are decent. I just seem to need that full flavor and moisture profile. I've yet to slow my cadence and doubt I will ever do so. I am the pipe monster I am...- cosgringo

Any Thoughts On This Pipe And The Buy Now Price? I Like This Sort Of Design. Looks Good.
One day I shall read before I post since I seem to have horrific spelling as of late. Only way I can think of dating that pipe is "carbon dating"- anyone know an affordable university lab perhaps, lol? -
Any Thoughts On This Pipe And The Buy Now Price? I Like This Sort Of Design. Looks Good.
I am not unhappy I lost. I immune to the effects now. I seem to win when I forget I even bid on something and walk away. I am nearing an comfortable amount of good pipes so I won't need to keep growing my collection. I have about 3 good ones heading my way (I believe). I am guessing this is not... -

Any Thoughts On This Pipe And The Buy Now Price? I Like This Sort Of Design. Looks Good.
So of course I lost that bid. I did get an awesome hand Nording (see my other post under pipes). I also won a bid for a Butz Choquin more for looks than anything (See below). The Nording is an amazing pipe so far frankly. Completely restored and not a smudge on it- ready to go. My Nording I've... -
Finally Got A Deal Nording
Sorry folks. Been in Ouray, CO. Brought that pipe. It does smoke quite well- and it's not that heavy surprisingly. The seller did an awesome restore and it was ready to some on day one. I think that was an awesome price and he's a good guy who takes what he does seriously (violins and pipe...
