The only pipe I ever broke was a canadian and I've been on the lookout for the right replacement ever since. This sweet little $28 Stanwell Lumberman came up on ebay; another 20-30 minutes will have it spotless but, in the meantime, here's the first smoke since the black cherry stink came out.

Another Brakner Antique (121). I'm hopeless about Brakner designs, quality, smokeability and old-skool Danish heritage. When this one appeared on ebay my knees shook but it ended up going for less than my ceiling. Woot. A little cake will tame it and dry it; the pipe demonstrated compatibility with VA flake on bowl #1.

Forgive me I don't like to embed my vids here too much, but my new Dunhill is in this one and I'm super happy with this video:

My first pipe! One of many more to come I hope.

This beautiful Stanwell just arrived. I paid $30 including post which ain't a lot. It was amazing to see that the pipe was unsmoked and markings indicate it is from the 1960's to early 70's. The seller didn't mention either....I got a real gem for nothing.

My first "real" pipe. A Peterson Killarney Red 408, just got it yesterday. (Not my actual pipe, I stole the pic off the internet, but it's identical to this.)

Fabulous photography in the video. I like the clean/elegant lighting and backgrounds in your images.

very nice, dub.
the registration number in the item description would've given it's age away. i normally search for registration numbered Stanwells, but i've been out of the buying market for a bit.
i bet it smokes great.

I have always like the blasts, barks, rocks, shells and here a couple of mine:

I got my first pipes in today. Nothing special, estate pipes off Ebay.

Bought some cobs too. Figured I'd start out with some inexpensive things and work my way up.

The five on the left are Ehrlichs. Top right Theydon. The rest are unmarked.

They didn't look like this when they arrived.

I spent last weekend watching Dubin's vids (great stuff).

I spent today with a no longer used electric toothbrush, assorted pipe cleaning supplies and a reamer. They are all in good shape, no bite marks on the stems. Removed a lot of oxidation. De-gunked the outside of the bowls with a touch of Murphys oil soap. Polished with beeswax and mink oil polish. 4 were caked badly enough to require a light ream. Cleaned the inside with rum. I enjoyed cleaning them up.

I like the balance and feel of most of them, don't know how they'll smoke. I decided I'd start with something inexpensive til I know what I'm doing.

Worst case scenario, the learning experience was worth the $50 they cost, but I think there is quite a few of them I will enjoy.
