Birth year Dunhills?
Truth be told I don't smoke much anymore, I just enjoy collecting. I'll smoke any one of them from time to time, I don't have a set rotation. I've been drastically pairing down my collection to fund my fishing boat and a house renovation.- recoilrob

That stem doesn't look bad at all. Fill the cloverleaf with white epoxy then sand down to surface level. Give the entire thing a polish.- recoilrob

Question about shipping insurance using Tinbids.
"What happens beyond that isn't your problem if you are the buyer." I'm not a buyer. It's the seller who loses out if it never arrives.- recoilrob

Tinbids Experiences?
I posted elsewhere about questions I had for Tinbid relating to selling items, who insures it, what happens if it goes lost. I did not get satisfactory answers, they were very evasive and then changed their position. Question about shipping insurance using Tinbids. :: Pipe Tobacco Discussion...- recoilrob

Pressed Virginias often show some sugar crystals when aged. I wouldn't worry too much.- recoilrob

Question about shipping insurance using Tinbids.
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. They make you use their shipping and then you have no recourse. And emailing them gets sketchy answers..... My original question.... "Since you arrange the shipping how is the shipment insured? What happens if it's a very expensive tin, say $500, and the...- recoilrob

Question about shipping insurance using Tinbids.
Has anyone here ever sold a tin through Tinbids, used their label, and had the USPS lose the shipment? What was the outcome? Tinbids has told me that as long as I use their shipping label I will get the full sale price, less commission, if the shipment is lost. They use priority mail which...- recoilrob

Show Us Your Comoy's (Collectors Thread)
I had a bunch of Comoy's at one point including a set of 5 of the 800 series magnum sized pipes. Some very beautiful pipes, I'm down to the last two because I loved the shapes. The Oom Paul is an Extraordinaire 235 that sits in a vintage Comoy's ceramic rack made in Italy with a Sasieni and...- recoilrob
