    Savinelli Cumberland pipes?

    I took a trip to Iwan Ries Friday on a rain out from work. I dug through alot of estates with a very nice salesman. I scored a Tim West, an Ascorti and an old Calabash Aldo Velani. But I look over at the new rack and there is an odd savinelli. I tell him to grab it for me and check it out. It...

    Will Meerschaum End one Day?

    I have no expertise whatsoever in meerschaum mining but from all the carvers I talk to in eskisehir they all hint at good meerschaum disappearing. But the date predictions vary wildly. I've been told 5 years to 50 years. So I wonder are older meerschaums possibly higher quality then new...

    Meerschaum Paint?

    Hello, what is the opinion of those colored meerschaums? I bought one that is blue but had someone tell me the chemicals in the paint are harmful? The paint is not applied in the chamber or inside the shank. I can detect no smell of chemicals. I mainly bought it to look at but was curious. I...

    Hello all, my wife bought me a set of the MM MacArthur pipes as a surprise.

    Lorenzo and Bigben Case Set?

    Found these recently. Some were picked over before I got there but still a pretty cool. I'm a newbie so I've read the pipedia but was looking for real world experience with these. The lorenzo seem higher quality and better drafts than the big bens but other than that don't know much.

    Nimrod and Estate Lighter?

    Came across these lighters. Don't know anything about them but if anyone is familiar with them I'd appreciate a lesson. Also are flints similar to the modern pipe lighter? The nimrod lighters look like zippo derivatives so would I assume correctly zippo flints will work?

    Is this Stem Butterscotch?

    Is this the Butterscotch bakelite stem or just acrylic? It's a no name estate meer I got yesterday but it was NOS. Doesn't smoke bad but the side walls are a touch thin and the draft hole isn't perfectly lined up. Has a yellowish chalky look to it compared to the pure white ones I have bought.
