As the dawn breaks this morning I feel blessed and privileged to own these two extremely high finished pipes. The top one is a B Grade James Upshall and the bottom an Eric Nording 501 Spigot.
Second hand luxuries don’t have to be expensive. The Upshall cost $175 and the Nording $85.
Both are small pipes, but maybe because they are so beautiful I think they smoke as well as any I own.
Pipes like this require the best briar and most skilled hands to fashion.
Neither had been smoked much at all. Why did somebody spend what luxury like this costs and leave them nearly unsmoked?
I can and will fix that.
