. Best to display that behind glass to protect it from drools! Steve

. I had been watching Ebay for my birth year in a Dunhill for quite some time (1953). It finally came along and I had to pass it up because of financial constraints that I know will not last. Darn, its a nice one too! http://www.ebay.com/itm/180783929987 Steve

. A jewel of a cabinet for any purpose, and a great find! Thanks for sharing it. Steve

Perfect for Siamese twins!

That same photo-ineptitude can work in your favor if you're bidding on a model of pipe that you know to be high quality but is not well known to most other bidders, as long as at minimum you can see the pipe isn't damaged. I've gotten some good deals on fuzzy-photo Wally Frank "White Bar" pipes...

The Pipe and Pint in Greensboro. Not especially close to you, but in NC and worth a visit. http://www.thepipeandpint.com/#!__about-us Steve

. For anyone who has been looking for a worthy Upshall, here is your chance. Judging by the briar quality on this particular piece, I'm guessing this is not recent production, rather it looks like a P-grade from the old days, and a particularly nice one at that. BTY, this is not one of my...

. While I've always thought that the Horn shape looks attractive on a good piece of briar, the shape has never struck me as one that would be easy to smoke. Look at this Ebay offering for example. Its gorgeous, but at 72 grams it certainly is not a clencher, and, to my eyes it doesn't look...

. For me it is in, or near, the upper Mississippi River valley between Red Wing, MN and Dubuque, IA - the region they call the "Driftless Area" because the glaciers flowed around it. The topography is what the entire upper midwest looked like before a series of glacial advances buried most of...

I enjoyed that, and my hat comes off to this kid for being that interested in something, especially something that is forward-looking (store of wealth, even if not very space efficient). Steve

Warning, shameless self-serving plug because its my pipe, but being that its a bent Dublin, I'd feel irresponsible not saying anything. It probably will go higher than $75 though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/180764161499 Steve

. Riding since 1971, every style except motocross and trials. This summer I sold my 2000 Victory until I can get re-situated and resume the pastime. Prior to these four, I had gone through a 1978 Yamaha XS750SE with a "Factory" Vetter fairing and hard bags (Yamaha fitted touring stuff to some...

I had not noticed that, and I apologize, jlong, for raising the false alarm! Steve

Kurt Huhn has a bent Dubliln available. Its half again higher cost than you wanted to pay. I have purchased several pipes from his Countryman Line and have been pleased with them. http://www.pipecrafter.com/ Steve

Shellac is gas permeable. I've never noticed anything ill smoking about ones I've owned. One might want to try to remove it if the appearance is unpleasant, but I wouldn't how to do it. Steve

. As mentioned, the Savinelli 320K is a great shape, and they offer it in a lot of finishes, but I've always thought of it as an Author. This photo shows a rare Giubileo D'Oro 320K. Mark Tinsky does a Mean author as well, reminiscent of the Sav 320, and you can find one on his web site...

The shape of the bit influences me more than the stem material, although for me, vulcanite tips the balance in favor of buying. Steve

Many thanks for all the advice. Don't know if I'll try it yet, but my curiosity keeps tugging on me. For driving schools it would be either a freight company that trains their own drivers, or else the community college down the road from me that offers a 1-month CDL-A course with 3 weeks of...

I'll trade you coffee money for information. Seriously, I've retired from my previous career. One option I'm considering is getting a class A CDL and giving OTR truck driving a whirl. If I don't like it, my situation is such that I won't have to stay in it. For $4 each: 1. Using the...

Long ago I discovered that buttermilk is a great quencher for hot spices. I love the taste of it too, but unfortunately not many restaurants serve buttermilk. Steve
