. Prefer this to matches because I feel it reduces rim charring, and it works better for deep relights. .

Wouldn't worry about this particular problem. I have several pipes like this, even with exposed catmollens and no problem. Steve

. Old Wally Frank pipes of the "White Bar" grade appear infrequently on Ebay, but they can be a good buy. In the last 2 years I've found Eight of them at an average price of $27. Wally Frank "Heart of Root" are even rarer and might be a step down in grade, but they are still nice old pipes...

I guess I'm going to be the spoiler in this thread. While the symmetry is outstanding, for that price I'd expect tighter grain than that, not that I'd buy any pipe that expensive. Steve

Given the nomenclature and image on the pipe, I wondered if that might be Paul Kruger and not the surgeon himself, so I looked this up: Information in the Q&A section of the auction page indicates that owners of these pipes sometimes claim that the image was carved by a POW. This is pretty...

Very appealing. Thanks for showing it. Steve

"Blackboard Jungle" is in my backlog of purchased but unwatched DVSs. I bought it to an example of Vic Morrow's acting talent, beyond the "Combat" TV series. I'll have to watch that one next. Steve

:lol: :lol: :lol: That's a good one, Mark.

Love the Ardor Meteora. I can imagine smoking that while listening to "Pictures at an Exhibition", because that's what it reminds me of. Steve

Some potential for confiscation at the airport, I would venture. Steve

One way that I know my brain is bigger and more sophisticated than the wasp's, is that I remember where I have lost things in the past...so...when I've lost my eye glasses for instance, I check all those places; ie. the freezer compartment of my refrigerator, behind the TV set, in my clothes...

fumo bro, what is the avatar? BTY, I smoke Mac Baren's HH Vintage Syrian a lot, but mostly blended with about 2/3 of various other tobaccos. I like the flavor of 100% HH Vintage Syrian, but it tends to present more tongue bite than can tolerate, thus the blending. Its definitely worth buying...

Nice looking pipe. I recently sold a Punto Oro on Ebay, a smooth Dublin having that same type of shank and stem, in similar smoked condition. It went for $43. Steve

Just received an Email "from Verizon Wireless" containing an embedded link that is supposed to lead to a web page app for subscribers to opt out of sharing their private information with Verizon affiliates. You can also opt out by telephone by calling 1-800-333-9956. This number is not...

Maybe it was rusticated, and then the maker decided to change it into a smooth. Steve

This week at my local tobacconist's store I was introduced to the Former-Eltang line of pipes, which they had just begun stocking. This comes on the heels of a recent Hans Nielsen visit to the store. They reminded me a lot of the Bently-Former's Design pipes also stocked in the same store, and...

I'm no expert on the brand (own a Special and a Supreme), but I think $440 for that pipe isn't much of a "win". More like total lunacy I say. Come to think of it, there was a full moon on July 15 when the buyer would have been watching that pipe. Steve

Beautiful pipe. Looks a bit heavy for my taste, but I have two Vipratis and love them both. Steve
