    Peterson Shell-Meer X86 Republic Era

    About to clean up this cool Peterson and thought I’d share with you guys. It’s a Republic era (1950’s) Peterson Shell-Meer X86 apple with long, straight P-lip vulcanite stem. It’s in really good shape, just needs some stem work and sanitizing. Can’t find anything online about them. If you...

    What a find!! - 1942 Dunhill Sliced Rolls Sealed Tin

    Hello All, a good friend came by yesterday to enjoy the early spring here in Toronto with a pipe on my back deck. He surprised me with the most amazing find from a local antique dealer. It's a WWII era sealed 2oz tin of Dunhill Sliced Rolls! The lid's popped off due to the swelling, but the...

    Antique Mac Baren Scottish Mixture

    Hi All, I just picked up a large lot of pipes, racks, tools, and a really cool wall mount cabinet. In the pictures they posted, there was an old tin of Mac Baren Scottish Mixture. Price tag on it is $4.50 for a 100g tin, so must be really old. I figured it would be empty, but was pleasantly...

    Metal Pipe Find

    Check out this collection I nabbed. Two Spiral-Kools, unsmoked with an extra bowl!!! 1 Kirsten and 1 Falcon. Came with 3 Sprial boxes and one old Blatter box. Warranties and extra gasket in each box. I’ve already cleaned the bowl of the falcon. It was a disaster. I’ve never smoked one of...

    Do I Need a Little Break?

    Title Edited to add upper case. Rule 9 I’m wondering if you old timers ever find yourselves taking a little break from the pipe? I‘m no @JimInks, but I’ve been smoking at least one, sometimes two bowls a day lately and finding that the last several bowls I’ve smoked have been rather...

    Old Port stamped Bringhams

    Here are another 4 pipes from my recently acquired collection. These are really interesting as they are stamped 'Old Port' with the obvious Bringham 'Made in Canada' nomenclature from the 50's into the late 60's. Just like the Amphora's, this gentleman seemed to only smoke one and kept the...

    Amphora Lot Unsmoked

    Hello All, I just acquired a nice collection from the son of a man in his 90's who was begrudgingly selling them off. Here's a group of 5 Amphora X-tras, 4 of them unsmoked. 3 of them have boxes and socks. They need a quick shine and then I'll either sell them or maybe keep one or two. Take...

    Royal Copenhagen Blue Flowers Porcelain

    Just picked up this Royal Copenhagen porcelain pipe at an auction. Good info on Pipedia about these. https://pipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Copenhagen They only made them from 1970 - 1985. This one is in excellent shape and will be even better once I clean up the stem etc. Question is, has anyone...

    More Bad News for Canadians

    The war on tobacco and adult's freedom to make choices for themselves continues unabated in the Great White North. Under Turdo, we have seen the rise of big government continue to grow and grow with no end in sight as threats underscore the devious plans they are concocting in their star...

    Guild Master Bulldog w/12k gold band

    Hello All, just picked up a collection and there's a really interesting pipe that I can't find any info on. It's incredibly well made stamped 'Guild Master' on the one side, with 'Algerian Briar' over 'France' on the other. It also has a stamped 12k gold band. The vulcanite stem is screwed on...

    Pipe Sterilization - Salt Turning Blue?!?

    Title edited for capitalization. Note: This will not sterilize the pipe or stem. It may clean them just fine, and remove the ghost. Is there a ghost? A hot water flush will remove all salt and perhaps other crud. Hi All. I just picked up a 16 pipe collection from a guy who was selling his...

    Belgian Meer Lined Acrylic Pipes

    Hoping for some help from Y'all.. I bought these two pipes off Marketplace for $40 CAD including a pipe stand. From the pictures, they looked like meer lined briars from Belgium. I met a lady in a dark parking lot and did the transaction. It wasn't until I got home that I realized they were...

    Bringham Help - Anyone seen a 4 Dot with this stem?

    Hi All, my ATPA (All Things Pipe Addiction) has reached new heights. I’ve now started buying up all the estate pipes I can find and begun a little restoration hobby. So much to learn, but I‘m getting pretty good at basic restoration. I came across this nice little Bringham and was wondering...

    Edgeworth Ready Rub - Pipe/Tobacco Event

    For those living close to Toronto, my local B&M is having an event this Sunday October 30th @1:00pm., where everyone who attends gets to sample a bowl of this ~70 year old tobacco for free. He's having a pipe sale as well, but no pressure to buy. I will be there for a couple hours so please...

    The Slap

    Sorry Mods to re-open a can of worms, and feel free to shut this down immediately, but I missed the Mr Rock/Smith Oscar thread when it was open. Just want to say, that reading a bunch of pipe smokin dudes unexpectedly weigh in on this was one of the expectedly funny things I’ve read in a long...

    Warm Weather Issues

    Hello Friends. For those who don't know me, I've only been smoking a pipe seriously for about 5 months. I've learned a lot in that time, still recognizing I have a long way to go. This was made abundantly clear last week when I took my kids from Toronto down to Miami for a week. Despite...

    Miami Pipe Shop

    Hi All, can someone help me out on a good B&M pipe shop in Miami? I’m in town for a few days and want to pick up a new pipe and some tobacco. It’s all about cigars down here, but I’m sure one of these places has a good selection of pipes as well. I don’t have a car so I’m Ubering and it’s...

    If you were me......

    Hi Friends. I've been on a bit of a buying spree lately, trying to pick up as much aged tobacco as I can, while binging on their fresh counterparts as much as possible. Having experience in wine cellaring, I'm applying my process on that front to tobacco, with my ultimate goal of being able to...

    More on Cellaring - Tin Seal Question

    Looking for your experience and wisdom around laying tins down for a long period of time. I saw someone on YT was vacuum sealing his tins in plastic vacuum bags, leaving me to wonder if anyone has ever had an issue with their tins not holding their seal after several years??? I like displaying...

    Cobs - Protruding Stem Issue!

    So let me start off by saying I love my little cob that was gifted by @ben88 ! I’ve been using it 90% of the time because it’s small and a perfect size for smoking a quick bowl. Also, I don’t mind clamping down on the stem when for the most part it’s essential to keep my hands in my jacket...
