The number of unfound pipes that are out there in the wild is amazing to me. The ones sitting in shops, or the ones sitting in a box in someones cabinet long forgotten.
Yeah like the 2017 POTYs that were sitting in that British shop and then all listed at once on eBay. I think there are still 3 up there but maybe 5 total were available.

Haven't seen the 2017s, but there are still 2016s and 2018s around. I think English pipe smokers are a bit more staid than our US counterparts! Special edition or small batch tobaccos never seem to do very well here as far as I can tell.

Here's an 1896 Patent shape 18 that is almost finished - still need to touch up the rim. I figured I would have a stem that fit it, but was pleasantly surprised that my 1902 amber p-lip worked - not the perfect diameter and p-lips weren't patented until 1898, but it's still getting smoked this way for now.
