PAD: GBD Pot

[craig61a]

It spoke to me… GBD Perspex Prestige Smokers Haven Limited Edition.

Just a muscular old school pot.

Some additional cleaning. Will I smoke it?

looks good,one of the cleanest perspex stems I have seen.I never could seem to get the perspex totally clear when restoring an estate

Great example!

9437?



or 9442?




A bristle cleaner, dipped in alcohol, ran thru, followed by one dipped in water will keep it clear and not haze the plastic.

9437 appears to have a somewhat squared shank; 9442 is a close match. The bevel on the rim of the pipe I have is sharp on both edges. There does seem to be a slight radius to the bevel. The photo of the 9442 may show a worn rim.

As for Perspex stems, I run a cleaner soaked with lacquer thinner through, even leave it sit for several minutes. Then a cleaner with water, and a dry cleaner. Rinse with cold water, and dry.

Polish the airway with a cleaner wet with mineral oil and Rottenstone chucked in a drill. Slow speed and move in and out. Then a dry cleaner.

I’ve done this over several years and never had an issue with it crazing, or clouding.

I make the chamber diameter at 15/16”, 1-5/16” deep.

I smoked this pipe today, and it smokes very nice. I picked Wilke Peanut Butter and Chocolate as my tobacco, since the chamber is rather large.
