    Vesz Pipes Grading?

    I picked up a Julius Vesz "Hand Made" estate Prince today, nice pipe, smokes great. I know the "Hand Made" series were/are graded 2 to 4, this pipe is a 4 (in a circle), the question is what is higher grade, 2 or 4? Thanks in advance

    Help Identifying Pipe

    Hey all, I picked up a box of estate pipes today and I'm hoping someone might help me Identify what brand this Meerschaum is. It has a "P" logo on it that almost looks like the Peterson's logo but I don't think it is. The only other markings are "Block Meerschaum". Thanks in advance.

    Do you Keep Records/Details of the Pipes in your Collection?

    There's so many different angles to this hobby, it can be different things to different people. For me I would say smoking is first, but not far behind is the research that goes into vintage pipe collecting, I'm far from expert but I always feel what little information I gather I should try to...

    Do you Keep Records/Details of the Pipes in your Collection?

    For example, details you might have researched on your vintage pipes, or details on which pipes smoke best with which blends, etc... Up until now I've been mostly relying on memory, but as the collection grows and the well seasoned vintage brain shrinks it starts to get a bit cloudy. Looking...

    Thick vs Thin Chamber Wall

    I'm no physics expert but I'm hoping someone here is. I know the general consensus is the thicker the wall the cooler the smoke, but somehow that doesn't make sense to me. I believe the thinking is that a thick wall will soaks up some of the heat, but doesn't a thicker wall just provide more...

    What's In A Name?

    It seems be a Canadian theme then, I had another by Colm Magner (also a Canadian).
