    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    The text from the listing, which I quoted above, suggests the seller intended it to be an auction listing. I didn't contact the seller. I would have bought the lot at $50, but I wouldn't bid on it at auction.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I think they'll be relisting this. The "Buy It Now" was apparently a mistake. "Bid with confidence and enjoy the opportunity to own these exquisite smoking pipes."

    What an amazing find these recent posts have turned out to be. Reading this has been a great start to my day. It would certainly make an interesting entry into Pipedia.

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I was only able to find a "snippet view" but it appears that the description of the gadget matches the brand "Perfeccion Pipe" on the case. And the 1909 above from @sablebrush52 would also fit according to the publication date on the snippet.

    Deadman bought this set from Premal at Chicago. I don't recall the exact price but I'm sure he lost money on it.

    Is This Mold?

    I'd smoke it. One thing that mold does: spread. That isn't what I'd call 'spreading'.

    I Wrote a New Guide for Dating Stanwell Pipes

    Congratulations! This is a great resource. And it reminds me that I too should get busy writing my own guide for Ben Wade pipes. One recommendation I'd make--a point of constructive criticism--is to try to include attribution and sources in your guide. I noticed there's a guide on MBSD to...

    Anybody Like Gawith Shag Cut?

    Squadron Leader is now a shag? From what I've read from the Gawith representative, they've been doing lots of consolidating in terms of ingredients and formats. I should think a shag cut would create a significantly different smoke for an English blend like that.

    Let me try to help you, and hopefully you won't have to pay anything like what you're estimating. I have lots of Dark Star to gift you though I'm not sure where I'd find St James Woods, though admittedly I haven't looked til now.

    Bad Tobacco ?

    I have hundreds of open tins and plenty of baggies. What you need is a handful of forum members to send you a "welcome to pipes" sampler selection.

    I paid the ransom via PayPal. Then as soon as the package was delivered, I disputed the payment and explained the situation, and told PayPal that I opted to pay the FDA myself. I won. Of course, there was no evidence the FDA even looked at my package. It hadn't been opened, no stamps or...
