    New Pipe Cabinet Solution

    Here’s my attempt - I used an Amazon purchased spice pantry and modified with dowels and these little wooden rings. I plan on adding two more racks for pipes. The doors will hold 36 mason jars of fine tobacco.

    Who is Going to the NASPC Show in Columbus?

    I see that the flyer mentions something about masks and social distancing. I am wondering if this was something that was unintentionally carried through from past years?

    Ugly but Interesting Charatan Freehand

    Yes, thanks! I brought this when I went to the Chicago Pipe Show and had the chance to show it to Paul Bender (CPCC Treasurer and Charatan Society) - He liked the piece and appraised it at around 350 to 400 bucks! I am going to get it restrored (It was deemed in pretty good shape).

    Charatan`s Extra ?????

    I just picked this “kinda ugly” Charatan Rarity up for 32 bucks. Interesting freehand shape that I have not seen anything quite like it referenced in the research. Any ideas? It definitely needs a restoration.
