My First Estate Pipes

[seamusjft]

So ive not been on the forum the last two days as I've been fueling my pad! And what a buzz. Ive not used ebay before and I've aquired 10 or so pipes.

Two came this morning. Very nice peterson pipes n great condition. So grest I was gonna give one a quick vlean and smoke in my excitement but aftet a quick clean of the stem I discovered an awful stench! So theyre getting a good disinfect and clean first.

Here's some photos

Vaboatbuilder is it kinda like a sour fruity smell?
Any tips would be received greatly guys. I've never refurbished a pipe. Christ I've only been smoking 6 weeks lil

Hey Seamus, great pipes! When I get a pipe from eBay, I always give it a good cleaning no matter what. Puts my mind at ease, and even if it looks clean I can usually get something out of it...

Nice indeed. That bulldog is unusual to me, shapewise. I really like it. What's the model and shape number on the shank?
