I recently popped a tin of 1994 McClelland Christmas Cheer. Yes, it was worth the $12 I originally paid for it.

I know of two marks of pipes made in Israel. One is Alpha . . . the other, Shalom. I don't know which yours is.

My favorite Peterson's shape is the 9bc, a chubby bent. I have a few of them. A couple of weeks ago I couldn't resist bidding on one with a badly- and unrepairably-cracked bowl. That's one I'll never smoke.

I am selling lots of well-aged tobacco including 1990's Christmas Cheer and some G.L.Pease gray label and Friedman and Pease. Quantity discount available. Payment by PayPal only ([************************]), "Send to a friend." Shipping cost depends on quantity of tins but ranges between $8...

I just started a sub-collection of Peterson's System pipe. The first one came today, a 302. Problem: because of the flared mouthpiece it won't fit on any of my racks, either with the circle for the stem or the slot for the stem. The flare is just at the wrong point and blocks the stem from...

Who'd a thought!

For me, a high grade pipe must be made from exquisite briar and be designed so that all the lines flow uninterrupted and make "sense" to the eye. In my experience, most pipes that I would call high grade are hand carved and are one-of-a-kind. Of course another way to talk about high grade is...

Among other qualities, for a pipe to join my rack it must have beautiful unbroken lines and must be comfortable in the hand and in the mouth. So, I would not chose this one.

Thanks for giving me a heads up about the 'S." I thought it was a sand pit before looking at it under magnification, but there it is . . . to the right of 'Buckingham.' Rob

Stem looks to be original. Here's a couple of better pics of the pipe. - Rob

I hate hearing news like this. There usually is such honor among pip esters . . . . Rob

You can't be talking about the pipe . . . must be talking about me . . . good observation. R

I know Bruce and his pipes. Both first-rate. Rob

Hi Wij. All of the types of choices you've listed are valid . . . also, any combination of them. I suggest you look at pipes for a while without buying. My guess is that you'll find yourself looking at one shape or brand or whatever more than others. Your preferences will form in your mind...

It didn't work this time . . . did last time . . . one more try, then I've giving up . . . Rob D

Thanks for the pointers on posting images. I think I've got it, now. So, the issue is the mouthpiece on the Sasieni pictured below. I just won it from Gabriella Harvell (bellasesales) . It's a beautiful, tight grained FOUR-DOT NATURAL 'Buckingham' and arrived perfectly cleaning ready to...

Nope . . . I'll try again . . .

OK. the image showed up in the inset. Let's see if it shows up here . . .
