    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.

    Want to Buy an Experience: McClelland Dark Star/St James Woods

    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.

    The Dreaded DHL Package Hostage Case

    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...

    Bad Tobacco ?

    I think you ought to try everything you can get your hands on (samples, preferably) and develop your own opinions. If you want to understand what makes champagne better than babycham, you've got to be familiar with both of them.

    Estervals and UPS

    Good luck. UPS held my package hostage for $167 "fees" for the "service" of forwarding the FDA a mere $0.27 on my behalf. Won't ever be using them again. https://pipesmagazine.com/forums/threads/the-dreaded-dhl-package-hostage-case.102958/post-37004648

    I also, and provided links to evidence that it wasn't a Dunhill. I've done this quite often and more often than not, the seller doesn't change a thing. I appreciate the seller added a note in this case, albeit in "small print" toward the bottom.
