Thanks for your reply, Eut.

I believe that para rubber (I've also see it written 'Para rubber') is a particular type or grade of vulcanite. Ed liked the quality of that material and made a point of noting that it was what he used for his pipes.

I've been drinking (and liking) Makers Mark bourbon for years but recently tried a greatly enjoyed Buffalo Trace . . . smooth and spicy.

I believe that stem is para rubber. Or, if acrylic, it's a replacement. Burak never used anything other than para rubber. What's that circle after "CONNOISSEUR"?

This Ulmer could have been made any time during the 18th or 19th centuries. No hallmark . . . cannot date exactly. I don't smoke it but it has been a beautiful addition to my pipe collection.

Since you're into old pipes you'll probably enjoy Ben Rapaport's newest book "The Wide World of Wood Tobacco Pipes," copywrite 2024 . . . 300+ pages and hundreds of beautifully photographed pipes. You can get it directly from Ben at [email protected].

I did. Thanks. Waiting to hear back.

Oil. Thanks. Yeah, let me know . . . .

Good idea. Thanks.

A nice - looking starter set.

I'm looking for a Peterson's stem to fit a 5/8" shank opening. Can be P-lip (preferred) or regular. Much appreciated.

There is also an Andrew Runge Peterson, a pipe maker. Find him on Pipedia.

That shot of him on the couch . . . looks like a very sophisticated fellow. . . . my condolences . . . been there.

I'm anxious to add a Peterson's "Kapp-Royale" to my rack. PM me if you have one you're willing to part with. Would also consider Pete's "Straight Grain." Also, Peterson's 9BC . . . the old ones, not the POY. And, of course, I'm always looking for Ed Burak's Connoisseurs

Now smoking Virginias 5 to 1 over English and Balkan. Open tins are F&T Cut Virginia Plug, Orlik Golden Sliced and McClelland Christmas Cheer (2007)

I'm getting more into calabashes and need more of these Micoli (or other type) calabash stands. If you have one or more to part with, please PM me. Thanks. - Rob

Connoisseur freehands are the highlights of my collection. Here are a couple of my favorites.

A slight bend helps but I've had no trouble cleaning my P-lip Petersons (not p-hole, b.t.w., that's at the end of your penis) with regular pipe cleaners.

Nice to have included the cob and the clay. Good start.

I just acquired another pipe in Ed Burak's "Sherlock Holmes" series. A favorite Connoisseur shape. Here's all seven of them in my collection, Several different variations. The new one is at the lower left . . . rounder bowl than the others. Nice bouquet, right?
