Photos of your pipes

[IHT]

lets see what ya got?

here's a few of mine, cuz i can only find a few photos right now.

first one is a Savinelli sandblasted poker with a clear stem.
next is the Mastro de Paja semi-rusticated horn i talked about in a previous post.
another photo of the same mastro de paja horn, while raking leaves.
last one is a Stanwell, sandblasted, straight stem, tiny little nose-warmer. i bought it for my dad, along with another stanwell i have someplace, but have since brought it back home after he died (he only used it a couple of times - and we had the same tobacco).

[IHT]

my wife and her "organization skills" with this computer, i can't find any photos i know i've taken... jeez.

heres one that has my son blowing into it.
it is another Mastro de Paja horn, smooth, with a cumberland stem.
in the background of the photo, you can see another Stanwell, and the other Mastro de Paja on the table, about to be cleaned.

found another of this pipe. while i was smoking it on a break in germany.

[LasciviousXXX]

Let's hope he takes after his mama though or else he'll be bald before he hits high school. Although the glowing red eyes would be a cool thing to have though LOL


Great pics Greg!

[croatan]

Cool idea, IHT. I have a bunch of pipes, most of which I don't have pictures of (yet). Here are a few of my Petersons:

I'll take pictures of some of my others and post there here later.

[IHT]

i just took a few other photos, will try to upload them later. i have about 4 different meerschaums as well, and i have 2 Stanwells at work (the ones i bought for my dad) that i need to bring home.

[madurofan]

A few from the american carvers. More to come.....

[Nely]

Just an ignorant question from someone who knows nothing about pipes: Why do you need so many pipes? Or is it just because they are cool and beautiful and you want to have different pretty pipes?
I'll be watching these forum closely, I have been thinking of something to do with my cuban cigar scraps.

It's a good practice to rotate pipes so that they don't get too hot and often people will designate certain pipes for certain types of tobacco, that way the flavors don't meld.

Plus, like anything else, it's a fun hobby and they're great to collect.

[LasciviousXXX]

Also, from someone who has never smoked a pipe before..... do Cuban Cigar clippings and ends and stuff taste any good in a pipe? Do you inhale?

Sorry, I know it sounds dumb but I know absolutely zilch about pipes.

Where should I start if I was wanting to get into pipes?

Sorry for the FAQ lol

XXX

[THE OX]

Well I dont inhale and I think most ppl do not. I have a buddy that does cut cigars up and smoke them. McClellans makes a cigar blend for pipes. I would start out with a simple Dr.Grabow. They are pre smoked and do not need breaking in. And they are easy on your wallet.(I bought them for as little as 14 bucks before.) I now smoke a Savinelli second I picked up for 30 bucks at my local shop. Pipe smoking does take practice as far as packing and dealing with the occasional re-light. So dont get frustrated at first. You can find all sorts of pipe and pipe tobacco deals online so good luck. :u

[floydp]

Oh great another obsession, gee thanks just what I need.

I've smoked a pipe for years off and on. I'd guess my elcheapo Dr. Grabow is probably 20 years old. I've been looking at seconds for some time now. If I can stop either me or Anita from buying cigars I'd get another. LOL

Geeze almost forgot, great pics guys.

[Syvman]

Oh great another obsession, gee thanks just what I need...
That's exactly what I was thinking. Is there some way I can make sure I NEVER read this thread again? My wallet can't handle another hobby/habit/obsession/compulsion! :D

[DrStrangelove]

I'd like to post a picture of my pipe but I seem to have lost it along with my tobacco and pipe tool?!? Oh well... these things happen :al

I'm hoping to get a peterson irish army model so maybe I'll be able to post a picture sooner than later.

[celticgent]

here's a picture of a meerschaum i recently bought.

some people probably find it 'hokey' or 'cheesy', but i think it's cool.

my wife tells me i look like a pirate when i'm smoking it.

ah, some others
this is my Karl Erik.

another Mastro de Paja horn (with a cumberland stem).

[madurofan]

another Mastro de Paja horn (with a cumberland stem).
Nice looking pipes IHT. Love the looks of cumberland stems.

[IHT]

then a few more, although these stems could use replacing.

MY FIRST PIPE!!! a Savinelli (hercules)... smokes great though...

[IHT]

and... a stanwell that i got from "joepipe". i met the guy while i was on a business trip to Waikiki... i won the auction on ebay, missed out on a sweet unsmoked Mastro de Paja he had going, and he met up with me at the hotel i was staying at... great guy, i suggest you all check out his website and his auctions.
http://www.joepipe.com <-- damn, it had been a while since i've been to his site. he's got some very nice pipes, especially in the italian section.

this stanwell i got for under $20, used, but it smokes so well... i love it.

i need to get the photos of the stanwells i got my dad (and now own again after he died last year).

I inherited these two pipes from my Grandfather. He was an avid pipe smoker for a while when I was very young. Don't know the manufacturer, but the little one works very well.

It got me, I picked up another hobby while still trying to learn the cigar.

[Nooner]

been meaning to post these for a while, none of my other pipes are really worth showing off:

please excuse the crummy pics, maybe someday I'll smoke it with one of you guys in person!

[mmblz]

I had a couple people tell me these were cheap pipes and I should look elsewhere, but I bought a few anyways for a few reasons:
* It remains to be seen whether pipes will take away any of my cigar time
* I actually wanted something cheap so I wouldn't have to worry about messing it up.
* I have over 20 tobaccos to try, so I thought it would be good to have a few pipes..

Anyways, top one is covered in leather. Second is white briar, not meerschum. Third is small and lightweight and has a much prettier grain than you can see in the picture.

[knuckles]

My grandfather smoked a pipe(s) for the majority of his adult life. He also colleted pipes as a hobby. That collection was willed to me, although it still sits in my parents house in Pennsylvania. I believe there are over 300 pipes in the collection, some dating to over one hundred years old. He has pipes that were donated to him that were smoked by some 'famous' people (one of them that I remember belonged to the governor of Pennsylvania at that time). There are some very unusual pipes in the collection as well... made from all types of materials and in various shapes. I remember that there is a very unusual water pipe that stands out in my memory.

Anyway, I am hoping to get up to State Collage (PA) after the fall school semester and pick up these pipes as well as a few other items that my grandfather left me. If i remember I'll take a few pictures of some of the more unusual pipes and post them here, along with any information i can find out about them.

[croatan]

Here are a couple Dunhills and a Savinelli. The first Dunhill is one I bought in the London store. The other is a limited run pipe with the Harvard crest on the band.

Can't wait to fire this up.

[FunkyPorcini]

first one is a Savinelli sandblasted poker with a clear stem.
I really dig this pipe. How does it smoke? Can you tell me a little more about it?

Wiley, Preben Holm, Willmer, Cristiano, Brebbia

[IHT]

I really dig this pipe. How does it smoke? Can you tell me a little more about it?
it still needs broken in.. i've smoked it maybe 8 times so far. it's a small pipe though, smaller than it looks in the photo. good for a quick smoke, and i use it for an aromatic i like... but, for some reason, i get a good amount of "juice" coming up the tenon to my mouth....

yeah those aromatics are usually more moist than straight tobacco and since they burn hotter, they produce more condensation/gurgle.

[LSU_Stogie]

I was thinking the same thing..

The black really contrasts the clear stem and just looks awesome, any link to where we can purchase one IHT?

[IHT]

i got it off ebay, brand new...

do a search for Savinelli poker

[IHT]

for those guys that just asked, here's a STANWELL POKER (http://www.knoxcigar.com/stva207.html) shaped pipe, although without a clear stem. still, fairly cheap considering some pipes cost in the thousands.

[IHT]

this is nearly identical to the one i have now - that i bought my dad a few years back. same style, only mine is a darker sandblast, damn near black, not dark brown like this one.

ooooo, radice with a clear stem.

no, not buying that Stanwell, i have one just like it, just no photo of it, so i posted the one that looks nearly identical.

[IHT]

here's my new Sasieni 1 Dot skater i just got, made before '79, and i just smoked it tonight (with my new Dunhill Royal Yacht).

and, here's a photo of a Stanwell sandblasted horn... i have one that's the exact same shape, only all smooth... matter of fact, the ebay auction was wrong, but i like the pipe i got more than the pipe they represented as being (which is a "legend #19").

i got my Leonardo Da Vinci in the mail today. it's BIGGER than i expected. needs a good cleaning. this is probably my largest/heaviest pipe now.

the photos in the ebay auction (which i will link below) did NOT do it justice. when i get it back after it gets professionally cleaned, i'll take/post better photos. the grain is nice around the bowl, and birds eye on the top/bottom.

It's actually a kitchen island countertop, but thanks for the compliment. I am only a neat freak in the kitchen.

I know it is too early to ask, only been smoking it for a month, but how many years before I start seeing some color?

shoot, not very long at all. not years or months, but it should be coloring up little by little every week or two, depending on how often you smoke it.

I got gifted a pipe and two packs of holland house aromatic last september on my birthday. I simply love the look of a pipe but ive never quite grown accustomed to it. The smoke just doesn´t seem as full bodied as a cigar does. I really enjoy having smoke billow from my mouth. Could someone reccomend me a nice, intense aromatic to sweet tobacco I could try out and is there a right way to pack the pipe?
I pack it not too tight yet not too loose but I always have to re-light when I smoke... is that normal? Is there a break-in phase for a pipe?
Sorry for all the questions, I just have a gifted pipe that i never use and I find that a shame.

I´ll post a pic A.S.A.P

[Scott M]

.... The smoke just doesn´t seem as full bodied as a cigar does. Try a good Balkan, (GLPs Odessey or Abingdon, Schurchs Torina, Balkan Sasieni), or anything that's heavy latakia, (Esotericas Penzance). ... Could someone reccomend me a nice, intense aromatic to sweet tobacco I could try out, GAWITH HOGGARTH Bobs Chocolate Flake, Mac Barens Vanilla Creme Flake are two good ones to try starting out. Sadly, most aromatics don't taste as good as they smell, and is there a right way to pack the pipe? Here's a Google Search (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=pipe+packing) on pipe packing. You can pack your pipe in thirds, halves, the Frank method, the stuff-it-in-your-pipe-and-smoke-it method, the FOLD-it-and-stuff-it-in-your-pipe-and-smoke-it method...you get the idea. There's no one absolute way to do this, and once you get the hang of one method, you'll need one or two more to deal with things like flake, or cubes, or shag cut....
I pack it not too tight yet not too loose but I always have to re-light when I smoke... is that normal? Yes. In fact, it's preferable to smoking your pipe too hot, burning both your tounge AND the pipe. Is there a break-in phase for a pipe? Yes, generally until you've built up a coating of carbon in your bowl, your pipe will smoke a little hotter. ...

I found the fills, three of them - not bad. From what I've read, Charatan would sell the pipes that weren't good enough to be a Charatan under the Ben Wade name - but I can't see where this pipe is any worse than a Belvedere... and the light stain is fantastic!!! pretty interesting, I'm gonna keep my eyes peeled for a few more!

[Da Klugs]

pretty sweet, but i wouldn't keep the pipe baccy at 70%, that's too moist.

ps - the Dunhill London Mixture (red tin on the left) is one that i got from SPS (croatan) and i've got it at work to smoke in my new Nording canadian on the drive home from work... nice (had a bowl today).

Thanks. New slope. New dope. (That would be me.) :)

[Scott M]

I've been keeping the majority of my opened tinned pipe tobacco in an unused cooler. No escaping aromas to deal with, (sadly), and they're protected to a degree from the winter heating environment. Some of the open tins, and especailly the open pouches, get transfered to canning jars, which are also fairly air-tight with no residual aroma to speak of. (They can pass the Penzance test, which oughta account for something.)

You're probably OK with your set up, Dave, but I'd remove the humidification as well. Greg's pretty much spot on with the ranges.

YMMV


Mmmm... Nightcap.....mmmmm

[IHT]

yep, i have my "loose" tobacco in ceramic jars...

[croatan]

I don't know what the "correct" humidity range is for pipe tobacco, but I've found that if I store it in something that's pretty much air tight, it doesn't need any extra humidification elements (I currently use tupperware type things). I'd definitely remove the tubes, Dave.

Also, glad you're liking some of what I sent you, IHT.

[IHT]

Also, glad you're liking some of what I sent you, IHT.
so far, everything has been great. have yet to try the I.R. "kings oriental" though... have to find a pipe for that one. almost had the Penzance again last night, but went for some C&D Morleys Best in my 1 dot Sasieni.

[croatan]

went for some C&D Morleys Best in my 1 dot Sasieni.
I think that's some pretty good stuff. What did you think of it?

i like it. it's got a smokey flavor, seems hard to keep lit though, maybe just that my pipe is still being broken in. the large clumps of burley sometimes stop the pipe from smoking good, i don't know why...

it's not as "in your face" as the orientals and things with heavy latakia, but i love the "smokey" flavor of it.

i will get a tin of it here soon.

I'm breaking into the pipe scene on a $4 cob that is so ugly you'd all cry if I posted a photo.

I'm trying to learn my traditional pipe shapes a little bit better... but I think that one might be a 'Lovat'

Does it have a round or oval shank?

[joed]

So, I've been enjoying this pipe stuff so much that I bought two new pipes - not to mention more that a good start on estate pipes.

But here are pictures of the two new ones that I am enjoying.

One is a Karl Erik Ekstravagant - Freehand Sitter
One is a Tim West

I am breaking in the Karl Eric with MacBaren Navy Flake - the Tim West is being used with a Dan Tobacco Blend called DaVinci

nice karl eriks. i posted the photo of mine... i have that identical tamper/tool as well, with the "wood" on the sides. pretty sturdy once i super-glued the tamper back on.

F - ME! Had this pipe on my watch list, was all set to steal it, got busy at work and missed it :c Man I really liked it, Im really cheesed. :c

WOO HOO, got it on the first try!!

These are my pipe, a Wally Frank LTD. (no idea how old or anything, got it as an estate last week)
and a Missouri Meerschaum Cob.
Ive just started this pipe thing, and am hoping it works well for me.
I just gotta get over feeling like a goober being 23 yrs old with a pipe:D

alright bastages. in honor of FINALLY getting my Mastro de Paja and Da Vinci's back from the B&M after being thoroughly cleaned, i decided to take some photos. i know some will be duplicates of others i've already taken, but you can just skip over those... wankers.

lets get a group photo on here first (minus a couple that were in my truck at the time)
http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/3285/pipes7ey.jpg

here is the big bad Da Vinci that i have yet to smoke. it's friggin HUGE!! biggest pipe i have. it's the one on the bottom of the photo before this.

and here's a photo of the grain all around the bowl.

NEXT UP IS MY KARL ERIK EXTRAVAGANT. sandblasted, with tons o' birdseye on the bowl.

and HERE IS THE ONE MY STEP-SON JACKED UP that i just got back today... amen. <--- was my first fathers day gift.

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/482/mdprust2qd.jpg

[IHT]

here is a Meerschaum that i've never showed anyone, and rarely smoke. it has a DEEEEEEP bowl. i use it to test new tobaccos from time to time.

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/9523/meer9fc.jpg

here's a shot of the top o' the bowl.

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5461/meertop5wt.jpg

[IHT]

alright, first here is a Nording "Signature" pipe... it's an "alright" pipe, big, thick walls... not the best for aromatics, and when it was given to me, that's what i smoked. i think i need to get a new stem (i don't like the current stem) and it would be pretty darn good.

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/2936/nordingsignature9nf.jpg

here is my little SMS Meerschaum banker shaped pipe. tiny, tiny bowl, but an excellent smoker. i have no clue why i dont smoke my meers more often. this one i scratched the bottom of when i was new to meer's... whooopsy.

http://img384.imageshack.us/img384/6287/smsbanker3ei.jpg

[IHT]

another Nording. this one is considerably smaller in length and bowl diameter, but i like the shape (canadian), solid pipe, strong bit, etc. it might be a "gift" for someone soon. :cool:

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/2836/nordingsilvercanadian4ew.jpg

here's the "silver" portion of the band with the Nording name on it.

http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/7646/nordingsilver0es.jpg

[IHT]

yet another Nording?? dang, i didn't think i had that many of them. :confused: ah well, this one is brand new (second hand) to me, and i have yet to smoke it. it was cleaned by the seller, but i have to do it once myself to feel good.
this is a freehand sitter, looks just like a large hunk o' burl, doesn't it?

http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/3629/nordingsitter6vi.jpg

another angle of the same pipe.

http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/298/nordingsitter29ho.jpg

[IHT]

this is how my Sasieni 1 Dot Skater looks now. i like the baby-blue colored dot and band on the stem. i know 1 dots aren't their top o' the line, but this bastage has a HUGE bowl, and smoke really nice, and it's still not broken in.

http://img302.imageshack.us/img302/8416/sasieni1dot3vd.jpg

and another photo of that small Savinelli Poker w/ clear stem so many loved. i haven't smoked that in a while, need to clean it and dedicate it to a different tobacco.

http://img380.imageshack.us/img380/6848/savpoker0go.jpg

[IHT]

now, the big ol' bowled cheapy Savinelli Hercules that smokes so well... this is the pipe i have dedicated to my MacBarens Vanilla Cream. i'd love to get a lucite stem put on it though, that's about the ONLY thing wrong with this bugger.

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/6734/savhercules9ea.jpg

flame grain on the bottom corner, and the opposite side and shank is nothing but birdseye, which is pictured below.

http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/363/savherculesbirdseye1tk.jpg

[IHT]

on to the stanwells. i have 4 of them.

these two are the stanwells that i bought my dad about a year or two before he died. they weren't smoked that often.
this one is a dark sandblasted freehand "brazilia" line.

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/5091/stanfreehand7fw.jpg

this one is very small. it's a nose warmer for sure. when i bought it (online), i thought it was a longer canadian style... well, it's the shortest pipe i have now. smokes alright, but obviously the smoke can get hot due to the short length.
i do believe this is from the "golden danish" line.

http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/318/stanstubby1av.jpg

[IHT]

this is my Stanwell Horn, i think its from the "legends" line, shape #204 i do believe. and to be honest, i may send it off to get it bored out so it'll smoke better. right now, it sounds like i have a flute in my mouth, it whistles a little bit.

http://img411.imageshack.us/img411/288/stanhorn6jx.jpg

this one I got from "JoePipe". its from their Buffalo line... the "Stanwell" logo has been buffed off. this is a Lovat shape, and what i smoke Penzance in, and a few others. very, very good smoker. mr. joepipe gave me the pipe in person, as i happened to be on a business trip to hawaii when i won it. so, we sat in the parking lot by my hotel shooting the breeze. great guy, check out his website, he's got excellent pipes to choose from.

http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/9541/stanlovat7ws.jpg

[IHT]

i think these next photos are the last ones i have to upload. they are of my 2 Tim Wests. one i'm not a fan of. HUGE bowl, as you'll see in the photo.

http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/6595/timwestbig5lv.jpg

here's how big the bowl is. i stuck a quarter in there and it went about halfway down inside.

http://img459.imageshack.us/img459/3494/timwestbigbowl1co.jpg

[IHT]

and, this is the tim west that i smoke most of my Virginias in, which was only Rattrays Hal o' the Wynd until today. this bugger smokes awesome. my neighbor bought it off my buddy that i got into pipes, but he lost it in a box and then found it a few years later. you can't see in the photo, but its a lucite stem that is a smokey/hazy/brownish/silver color.

I love the shape. The fills don't really bother me.

Frenchy is a great a guy. I originally asked for him to hold on to it for a week for me, until I get paid, but he said he would just send it over anyways as he trusted me to pay. What a guy!

The first pipe is from Mark tinskey I designed the shape and he carved it.

The 2'nd is a Brian Ruthenberg its the 3'rd pipe he ever carved.

[sgresso]

I am collecting one from each year he has carved.

[mr.c]

very nice sgresso!

[Neuromancer]

...and here's a couple of my new acquisitions...the first is a Butz-Choquin, and the second is a Stanwell Hans Christian Anderson that comes with a bent stem and a churchwarden stem...both smoke great with very little bite seeing as I'm just breaking them in...

[Alpedhuez55]

Here are the first three. The are all made by Arlington:
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/Alpedhuez55/bomb022.jpg

These ones I picked up this evening. They needed a little cleaning up, but are all new and will need to be broken in:

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/Alpedhuez55/bomb025.jpg

THe top one says Imported Briat Italy and has a deep but narrow bowl. There is no brand, but the is a marking on the stem with a circle inside a smaller circle.
The middle one says De Maine Classic and is made in London England.It has a huge bowl that is about the size of a quarter and very deep
THe bottom one is not branded and is just listed as Algerian Briar / Made in France.

THe grain on all three is very nice. They were $8 each!!! THere is a smoke shop that was recently bought out by a Pakastani near my house. THe pipes are old and dusty. I have been going through them looking for the best ones.

[tecnorobo]

I got it at diebels at hawthornes on 119th and nall.
Their location on the plaza has a much larger pipe selection.

I paid 75 for it, and i'm hoping that wasn't too much.. but I don't really care if it was. I love the way it looks and so far (for not being broken in) it smokes pretty dang good.

75 bucks for a karl erick is a good deal. i payed more than double that, if i remember correctly, for mine.

Your other pipes are nice as well!

[IHT]

i still have yet to smoke that pipe... :confused:
i don't trust other ppl so much, so i'm going to clean it myself...
i've scraped some more out of the inside, but i need to try out my new pipe retort kit on it (just need a non-scented candle).

that's actually a bad photo of the sandblast. it mostly shows the plateau top more tha anything.

here is my little SMS Meerschaum banker shaped pipe. tiny, tiny bowl, but an excellent smoker. i have no clue why i dont smoke my meers more often. this one i scratched the bottom of when i was new to meer's... whooopsy.

UPDATE:
as some of you recall, my stupid frucking 17 yr old step-son jacked my Mastro de Paja a year ago and smoked some "sticky icky" in it...
that has since been found and professionally cleaned - smokes great still.

now, fast forward to this past weekend.
i'm going to smoke the pipe in the above photo because it has a small bowl....
so, i start digging around on my chest of drawers (which is damn near 5' tall), and i can't find it (or its case). i continue digging around as my wife has some basket she throws all my chit in without letting me know she's doing so...
still cant' find it...

i did notice that some of my tins had been moved around, some of my pipe cleaners were moved, just a general moving of my sh*t had occured, and now no SMS Meerschaum could be found?

asked the wife if she dug through it all... nope.

finally started to get pissed, called the dipchit, asked him, he denied it.
what he did fess up to was..... "i was looking for some change." :confused:

looking for some fugging change??? now, picture this, ppl. big chest of drawers, pipe rack that holds 8 pipes, pipes and tins kinda laying there, a few mason jars, and a looong/skinny basket with other pipe stuff (lighters, tins, pocket knives, pipe box holding pipe cleaners, zip-loc of some tobacco), but zero "change". approximately a whopping 6" <-- yes, six inches - away from the basket he rumbled through was a clear glass vase that is roughly FIVE (5) INCHES DEEP FULL OF CHANGE has gone undisturbed??!!
so he was looking for some change???

my mom use to tell me, "abortion should be legal until your 18th birthday." i think she has my support now that i'm in the clear.

[Mr. Pink]

Not sure why that rant - albeit interesting - is in a photos thread, but whatever. Tough love, baby. Kick 'im out and give him a re-entry plan. Saved my younger brother, I swear...

edit by IHT - was just showing the pipe that i now can't find... we did find visene in his car, and a half empty bottle of vodka in the back seat (plain view)... he's not doing too bad for a 17 yr old, huh?

http://millowk.crymore.org/uploads/pipes.jpg

Those are my pipes.

The Ehrlich author I bought from Frenchyspipes.com for $28. It smokes good and looks good. I got the corncob free from Frenchy.

The little cheap briar i got on ebay for about $5, and it doesn't smoke too great. I use it for aromatics. It was alot bigger in the ebay picture!

The Arlington Supreme I got from Alpedhuez55. It smokes and looks great and really changed the way I though about straights.

[Alpedhuez55]

This was waiting for me when I got home. The pictures do not do it Justice!!! This s my first nice pipe. So I cannot wait to smoke it!!!

They sent me a sample of Sweet Tea. It smells great!!! I will try it out this weekend. Have not decided on what the first blend in the pipe will be. The DaVinci has been one of my favorites as of late.

I am heading down to the Carolinas in the end of April. Boswell's shop is right off of Route 81. It looks like it will have to be a stop on my way down now!!! I will also be in Morganton, NC for a few days. That is where Cornell and Diehl is headquartered. Should be a fun trip!!!

I've been fooling with this idea of a set of pipes for a day - a morning, afternoon and evening pipe - 3 pipes - I'm trying to find 7 carvers I like and commission a set from each - the first custom made set that I commissioned in finished and on it's way to NJ. The artist is a gentleman named Rad Davis. He's an American Carver and you can find his stuff at www.Raddavispipes.com

He is a real gentleman and - in my opinion - a talented pipe carver - it was fun working with him to come up with the shapes, themes and sizes of the 3 pipes - we have agreed to rename Saturday as DavisDay at my house.

Here is a picture of my first custom made 3 pipe set.

Those are quite nice. How much did the whole process cost, if you don't mind me asking?

[joed]

Figured it out - here are a couple of pictures where you can see the shape of the first two pipes in the set that I posted earlier -

If you can't tell - I'm sort of excited about the project and anxious to get these pipes.

[hollywood]

My first poker; courtesy of Ian(drevim)!! Took a lot of elbow grease to get this one clean, but it turned out very nice I think. Looks like it should be a good smoker, too!!

horrible oxidation on the stem when I started:
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/ashlea30/100_3026.jpg

mid-cleaning of the stem with a brillo pad, and then a magic eraser. Thought it may scratch it up, but the pad was a very fine steel wool, so I was pretty happy with it:
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/ashlea30/100_3027.jpg

the bowl was not too bad, just dull and a bit dirty. cleaned it with soapy water, and waxed it right up. finished product is definately better than expected and a welcome addition to my collection!
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e10/ashlea30/100_3029.jpg

[Hookem187]

wow that came out great! what did you use to wax it? briar wipe or something else?

i have a stem that is not that bad maybe this is worth a try!

[Scott M]

Nice job, Hollywood! Sweet looking pipe!

[joed]

NIce job there Hollywood - looks like a new pipe

[hollywood]

Thanks guys. Not quite brand new, but pretty close. I definately need a Dremel tool to work the stems a bit better. Get a more fine sand and buff. Would also help polishing the briar. Lots of elbow grease without power tools.:rolleyes:

what did you use to wax it? briar wipe or something else?
Used neutral showpolish on the briar. Very very minute amount of it, too! On the stem, it was plain old olive oil from the kitchen. Rubbed it down a few times to get it really soaked in. Thanks to ScottM for that great tip!!

[Scott M]

/// On the stem, it was plain old olive oil from the kitchen. Rubbed it down a few times to get it really soaked in. Thanks to ScottM for that great tip!!



oops.

Uhhmmm... I kinda found that it didn't last as long as I'd hoped, nor gave as much / long of a shine. Might be different for you since you rubbed it in whereas I just slathered it on and wiped it off.

I've been going over my pipes with varying grades of sandpaper and noticing that there's still alot of unercognizable brown gunk that comes off when I wet sand them, so I'm almost convinced there was some residual oxidation. I try to get as much as possible off with 600 grit, then I've been using 1500 -> 3200 -> 6000 -> 12000 -> neutral kiwi shoe polish, and end up with a glass finish. I like the idea that the polish could protect the stem material. I guess I'll find out if this method's better than the olive oil sooner or later, since it sounded really good when I read it somewhere.

Cheers!

[Alpedhuez55]

Here are my two new arrivals. This is the Charatan I won on Ebay on Monday:
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/Alpedhuez55/charatan.jpg
It cleaned up pretty nicely, though I may go over the stem again. It looks better in person though. There are some nice reddish highlights that are do not show up well in the picture. It is cleaned up pretty well but will want to give it a few days before I smoke it. I think it will be well worth the $21 it cost me.

The next picture is a new Big Ben Bent Bulldog.
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/Alpedhuez55/bigben.jpg

The bowl is very deep on it!!! The grain is fantastic. I cannot wait to smoke it. Another steal at $40.

cheers!

i had noticed that it did not really give them a "new" gloss shine, and that if wiped off too quickly, it really didn't shine much at all. I really rub it in and do it probably 3 or 4 times and let it sit for an hour before wiping off. seemed to make a bit of difference.

that said, i am going to have to try the waxing method now as well, to compare. i need a Dremel with sanding and buffing attachments so this would be a lot easier!!

once again, thanks for the advice and sharing of experiences.

Been using a kit from Micro Surface Products (https://www.micro-surface.com/default.cfm?page_id=90&id=3kcraft&storeid=1) for stems. Cheaper than a Dremel, more control so I don't sand off edges or emblems, and it goes down to a VERY fine grit.

Still need to think about how I'll go about polishing bowls.

I picked upi this Ashton XXX from ebay - I was the only bidder - new, unsmoked seems nice enough and for $70 - I fairly good deal I think.
It's a lousy picture, but a pretty nice pipe.

[fitzsmoke]

" Why do you need so many pipes?"
One word: Ebay
:u

[fitzsmoke]

Before you all run out and buy buffing wheels and trying to outshine each other a word of advice:

Anthing you do to erase the nomenclature (stamped in i.d. words and numbers) or lose any logo it has will devalue your pipe. So if you are sanding, buffing, or rubbing your pipe stay away from the letters and logos with abrasives.

The best shine enhancer to use on a pipe is pure Carnuba wax. Using shoe polish of any kind is not recommended due to petroleum byproducts. Some pipers feel that nothing should be applied to a pipe as it will contaminate the smoke. However, if it is a $5-10 ebay or garage sale special, and has no real value, buff and spray to your hearts content. :2

[Neuromancer]

Well, you guys really did a good job of kicking me down another slope, reading all this stuff and seeing all these great pipes, so it seems, that besides CAD, I am now suffering from PAD...here's a few more of mine...the first two pipes were great ebay finds as they were new but NOS and both had badly oxidized stems which I dealt with using 50-50 bleach/water, pipe stem polish, and 4000-12000 grit sandpaper...the next two were nice ebay finds (good deals on them) and the last came from Pipesandcigars.com (http://www.pipesandcigars.com/), a site that has great customer service as I will enumerate below:

The two ebay buys with restored stems...the first is an Italian Briar called a Savoy, don't know much about it, and the second is a Ben Wade Danish Freehand...

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-3/1155412/100_0881.JPG

These were the two new ebay buys, got decent price on each...the first is a Bjarne Viking, and the second is a Butz-Choquin...

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-3/1155412/100_0882.JPG

http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2006-3/1155412/100_0883.JPG

Can you tell I favor bents? Last but not least is a Nording dual stem with the churchwarden stem attached...got it from the afore-mentioned Pipesandcigars.com (http://www.pipesandcigars.com/) and here's why I recommend them...I bought two pipes from them last week off their website...a Nording dual stem (but not this one) and a Savinelli Rusticated churchwarden for my son...I placed the order and got an email from them the next day stating they didn't have stock on the two pipes I wanted and they would see what they could do for me if I wanted anything else...so I called them and talked to Scott (I think he's the owner)....to make a long story shorter than this has been, he offered me a Savinelli Smooth churchwarden for the same price as the rusticated one (a 25% savings) and also told me about this Nording he had that he'd let go for the price of the one I bought (a $5 savings)...since it sounded as nice and perhaps even better than the one I wanted I took it and I'm glad I did...and, the savings on the two pipes added up to enough to buy several tims of tobacco...like I said, great customer service...

Tell me how those chocolate flakes are... been looking for a good chocolate aromatic.
I like them both, but for me the Bob's Chocolate Flake takes first place...my GF says the room note smells like a chocolate cake being baked...tastewise it has a slight chocolate/floral taste, very pleasant, pretty cool and with very little noticeable bite...

[Hookem187]

mmm chocolate flake...man that sounds good. I'm gonna have to put that one on my list!

[Alpedhuez55]

I got my Jobey Estate pipe I picked up last week on Ebay. It was about $24 shipped. When I openned the box I was suprised by the size of it. It has a big deep bowl. And the briar and detail are just beautiful!!! The pictures to not do it justice.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/Alpedhuez55/Picture002.jpg

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/Alpedhuez55/87c84286.jpg

The condition was fantastic. I sanitized and polished the stem. The bowl was in great shape. It was well cared for and really did not need much compared to the Charatan I got last week. The original box and paperwork are a nice touch too!!! It is almost to prety to smoke!!!

But I said almost!!! I cannot wait to try this baby out!!!

[IHT]

my new ser jacapo rusticated poker came in the mail today. already had a bowl of GLP Abingdon in it. smoked pretty well... this thing has barely been smoked (or so it seems). it's 7 1/2" looooong!!
http://i3.tinypic.com/wqsoc8.jpg

some of the nomenclature. i wonder what these are worth retail? well more than what i paid, i'm sure.

THis is my latest Ebay Estate aquisition:

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/Alpedhuez55/e596656f.jpg

It is a Kriswill Golden Clipper. I had buyers remourse at first. It was only $10 but the shipping charge was a rip off of over $9. I did not feel as bad when I saw an identical one that had been restored go for over $45.

It came in with a fairly oxidized stem and a lot of crud on the briar, but the bowl seemed to be in good shape. It just took a lot of spit, polish, pipe cleaners and elbow grease to get it into shape. After that effort I was rewarded with a sweet little pipe. The picture is not the best but I can assure you that the grain is beautful on this one. THe only flaws are a couple of bitemarks on the stem. It passes a cleaner from stem to bowl without a problem.

The bowl is narrow but deep. I broke it in tonight with a bowl of Rattray's Hal O' the Wynd. Despite the thin walls, it smoked suprisingly cool. I think this may be my new pipe for Virginians!!!

I finally got around to shooting a few pics. The first is my humble pipe center down in my smoking room. The second is a close-up of my two best smoking pipes. I bought both of these brand new when I worked in a pipe shop back in my college days. They are now 30 years old and smoke really sweet!

The meer is more colored then the pictures make it appeared, but still has a ways to go. I didn't ever smoke it much back in the day and it only gets fired up once a week or so now since I pulled it from storage about 2 months ago. I smoke Virginia Flake blends in it almost exclusively.

The Karl Erik is my favorite. I use it only for english blends. It could use a quick polish on the bowl, but I smoke it every other day or so and never seem to get around to taking the wheel to it.

Most of the other pipes in the rack are eBay deals as of late; a Comoy, Kaywoodie, Savenelli and some other lesser known brands.

The table everything sits on was on old birch wood kitchen table that came from my wife's grandmother's estate. I shortened the legs to coffee table height and painted it. My wife added all the cigar bands from my early days collection. Funky!

[fitzsmoke]

it still needs broken in.. i've smoked it maybe 8 times so far. it's a small pipe though, smaller than it looks in the photo. good for a quick smoke, and i use it for an aromatic i like... but, for some reason, i get a good amount of "juice" coming up the tenon to my mouth....

Most of the "juice" is your saliva going down the stem and then being sucked up along with burned tobacco residue. No problem...new pipers usually produce excess saliva. Try taking the pipe out of your mouth between puffs, don't worry about the pipe going out, just relight. Make an effort to have your mouth somewhat free of saliva before taking the next puff.

[akatora]

This was waiting for me when I got home. The pictures do not do it Justice!!! This s my first nice pipe. So I cannot wait to smoke it!!!

... Can I ask you how much and what model it was?

Boswells (http://www.boswellpipes.com/) are usually pretty inexpensive... ~$50 - 200 for a handmade pipe, (with very good to excellent smoking qualities).

Give them a shout, they can probably hook you up with something similar if you're interested. They also have some well renowned tobacco blends.

well, it's not saliva. i don't leave the pipe in my mouth, i hold the tip of it to my lips and that's as far as it goes (for the most part).

oh man, how i would've loved being at socal.

I'm a poor student though and it will be another 4-5 years before I ever get out to a big herf such as that one.

This Hardcastle is the newest in my rotation. It is a true estate pipe, as it was my dads though he never smoked it (lucky for me, no capt. black ghost). It was missing a stem so i had a lucite one made for it and i think it turned out well. It smokes like a dream.

That is a very nice looking pipe. :)
