    1936-1938 Kaywoodie Bulldog Restored

    I love these old Kaywoodies, and wish they could talk! I date this one to between 1936 and 1938. Full details and extra pictures are at the Reborn Pipes blog site. The pipe was in good shape and didn't require a lot of effort. A few dings/marks remain, but seem fitting for this old soldier...

    Village Cigars - NYC

    We're re-watching "NYPD Blue (1993-2005). The odd, jerky camera scene opening shots are always interesting, and for a second or two, highlight iconic city locations. Last week, I noticed CBGB's, must have been just before they closed. Today, (in Season 4), I noticed Village Cigars, on...

    Ashton Sovereign Addition/Restoration

    I'm a fan of XX size Taylor era pipes. This one restored nicely, full details are in the Reborn Pipes blog entry below. This one checked all of my boxes: Sovereign grade, XX size (43 grams!) and a tapered stem. Not too challenging to restore. Bill was on his A game when he made this one -...

    Dunhill Stem - Legit?

    A buddy posted this and asked if I thought this stem was legit. I'm not savy enough on 1930's Dunhills, to not get your opinions here! The white dot looks good, as does the stem/shank transition, but he is right, the button shape is a little off. Thoughts? I told him George and Jessie's opinion...

    Comoy's Shape 70 Deluxe

    I'm supposed to be thinning the herd, but I cannot resist a small, bend billiard like this example. I picked this up from an ebay seller, who turned out to be a fellow GBD enthusiast. This was the first Shape 70 that I have seen. It's similar to the Sasieni Regent in shape and size, another...

    Grail Pipe - 14 Years Late - Brian Ruthenberg

    Back in 2010, when I got into tobacco pipes, Brian Ruthenberg was the hot shoe artisan. I eagerly scanned every email update he sent, but a $400 pipe was unimaginable to me. I particularly loved his half saddle stems. This one was on Ebay recently, and despite my vow to decrease my collection...
