Week before last I stopped by Pipes by George to smoke a bowl, chit chat and look around. George had some pipes in a box and I asked him if he was interested in selling them. The pipes are in various states of disrepair for lack of better words. So when I stopped by this week he let me pick out two Sasieni 4 dots, a ruff root and a natural, at a very reasonable price. He made me promise to bring them back by when I got them cleaned up. The pictures don't do them justice. The stems were pure green. They were well loved and crusty but the gentleman who owned them didn't char the rim which made this clean up a cinch. I hope George likes what I've done with them.

Thank you gentlemen. I know these are not sought after examples of the Sasieni line but I saw potential in these pipes. I get a lot of enjoyment giving these old pipes a new lease on life. I will say, I love saddle bits, but they are a pain to clean up.
