And I concur; best forget it. This is not an easy fix.
I own two unsmoked Perfection graded ones in their original box, UK price tag still attached to a little twine etc. Purchased them from a retired lady tobacconist.
These show wonderful "granite"grain.
I've seen many Belvedere graded showing...
Thank you Pickles, appreciated you sending me some tins :)
There are more blends they produce for SP only, why is that you reckon ?
Because they are a bigger player in the market than for instance 4noggins, or thecountrysquire ?
Please forgive my ignorance, but it seems C&D produces some blends exclusively for
smokingpipes !? I'm much interested, but unfortunately they do not ship abroad.
A wonderful Harrod's straight grained 7 day etc. Most likely carved by Charatan. Won it on Feebay for a song and then it got nicked by Pitney Bowes. Total shambles and sadness.
Not a commission from Ken, but some pipes I was to buy from his personal collection.
Wonderful conversations by mail ( as we more often did ), pictures sent and all.
And then a brave heart stopped...
Wonderful George, it is a lovely film and watching it always makes me feel melancholic.
I believe the stummels were polished with linseed oil with drop of orange stain added.
