    ***What Are You Smoking, March 2023?***

    Continuing my journey with Pirate Cake in a Stanwell 242 Featherweight. So far, really enjoying this blend. What an adventure this hobby provides. Cheers!

    Minature War Gaming?

    Tried 40k (painted up a large death guard army) but didn’t care for it. I think it was more to do with the model count and scale of game itself. I do, however, like skirmish games like Frostgrave, Forbidden Psalms, etc. Also play DnD. Still, painting miniatures is something I probably do more...

    Todays treasure hoard!

    Yes. Lots of pipe cleaners, stem/chamber maintenance, and elbow grease :). I have enjoyed learning how to get them back into use for who ever their new owners will be.

    Is this a Re-stemmed and Banded Savinelli?

    Appreciate the insight!

    Is this a Re-stemmed and Banded Savinelli?

    May just be the picture I took. Here is one of similar angle to the one you provided

    Is this a Re-stemmed and Banded Savinelli?

    Oh and the button is not funneled. I’m learning so much and am grateful.

    Is this a Re-stemmed and Banded Savinelli?

    Thank you! The stem on mine does not have Savinelli. This has been an interesting and educational exercise. I really appreciate the heck out of everyone’s willingness to help. The “Salvagenelli” may stay in my collection but if not I feel much better prepared to disclose the things I’ve...

    Is this a Re-stemmed and Banded Savinelli?

    I will do the shank test to see if a line appears. Thank you for that tip. Using a jewelers loupe and Inspecting it with the stem off prior to posting this there didn’t appear to be a crack. Would almost expect there to be one to motivate someone to do this. Perhaps a crack occurred further...

    Is this a Re-stemmed and Banded Savinelli?

    Henceforth, the "Salvagenelli" is what it will now be known as LOL. I knew I liked you all.

    Is this a Re-stemmed and Banded Savinelli?

    thanks! I wondered if it hadn't been because the stamping was covered by part by it. The band was pretty gunked up so was hoping after polishing there would be some mystery revealed...there wasn't other than a nice reflection haha.

    Is this a Re-stemmed and Banded Savinelli?

    In part of my recent lot purchase is this pipe. It has me a bit baffled as to what is going on with it. Initially I thought it was a Savinelli Autograph 4 (which I still think it may be) but the band and stem have me perplexed if it wasn’t re-stemmed/silver banded. I tried the ol Google-Fu but...
