    Re-Hydration of a Near 50 Year Old Tobacco

    Thanks for the input guys. Badger,I was surprised. It was quite unique to me. I wasn't expecting the flavours I got. I really wasn't expecting anything cause I figured it would be too far gone. I'll do it again in another 47-50 years.

    Re-Hydration of a Near 50 Year Old Tobacco

    So I ended up putting a small amount of humidity beads in a Ziploc freezer bag, placed some tobacco in a container And placed it in the Ziploc. I've never had The Balkan Sobranie before. I've heard so many pros and cons that I didnt bother cause everyone compared it to "the old stuff." Wow. What...

    Stem for Caminetto.

    Would anyone know where I could find a stem for a Caminetto business 119? It's oval-ish from left to right. I was told this pipe is from 1970-75. I don't know when it's from, but the estate that I got it from said it was the favourite. After cleaning and smoking it, I understand why. Every...

    A tad confused

    I have a BC 1324. On the other side of the shank it has Major stamped in it. It is a phenomenal pipe. I've smoke different tobaccos in it and they all are great. How can I find out when approximately this pipe is from? I thought about selling it, but I think I may have a crush on it. Any input...

    Unknown pipe

    You're absolutely right. I know nothing of the Kaywoodie. I over read some info and confused myself. Apparently it was in a gentlemens top 3 pipes. I guess he had for a very long time. It has a really good hand fit. Thanks again guys.

    To fix or not to fix..... A meerschaum

    So I purchased a bunch of estate pipes. There is what I believe is a Meerschaum in the collection. Apparently the old fella didn't smoke it very often because he felt it to be much too delicate for his "ham fists". It has a break on the shank and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the...

    Thanks everyone for your input. I appreciate it. So there's a chance this pipe could be a yellow bole? I have a yellow bole standard. I'll have to give the bowl a cleaning and take a look. Thanks again guys.

    Yep. That would be the one. It's a screw in stem.

    I was also told it a possibility that it's a Charatan? A relief grain? I'm pretty new with most of this so sorry if I'm bleak on some things.
