Do people sometimes ream all the way down and take off a little briar as well? I have yet to clean an estate...
One could ream it down to the wood, but in some cases the prior owner may have only smoked like a single bowl in it before disposing it off. Singed rims are usually a clue to the use/abuse a pipe has gone through. Bite marks on the bit. Scratches, etc etc. No way to know for sure unless you know the prior owner and ask him/her.

Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions

I won a terrific 1949 Parker Super Briar Bark patent numbered pipe for $46 including shipping on ebay and it finally arrived! Going to try to smoke the darn thing tonight.

It's very frustrating not to be able to put photos in these posts until after my 30th one!

Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions

I checked in on the Bay on a whim and saw this nice Tinsky 1 star, 2005 Christmas pipe about to close.
I snagged it for $88 shipped.

Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions

Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions

I'm still not sure if this thread is only for e-bay aquisitions or if any aquisitions can go here...

anyway, I've been fighting PAD for some weeks but this weekend I just gave up and bought this two new pipes, a Mastro de Paja and a Hardcastle. Total price $ 112 plus shipping... not a bad deal, I think.

The place I bought them at, and I know you're a client, (IwanRies.com) has some other sweet deals... go take a look at the Mastro de Paja and Hardcastle pages... there's a Mastro de Paja limited edition canadian at a unbelievable price. So, just go there and become a bastard too! ahaha

Req, Iwan Ries has some amazing specials, they're often cheaper than estate pipes on Ebay....this is a classic example of "why NOT to buy on Ebay".

Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions

I have my first ounce of 1792 flake sitting on my desk right now, it smells amazing. I can't wait till I get home in 6 hours to try some of this. Until then I'm going to let it sit on my desk and taunt me like delicious smokable crispy strips of tobacco bacon.

Re: Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions

Pulled the trigger on a new Savinelli Baronet lumberman. A 7' long briar for 50 bucks was just too sweet to keep passing up. And the bowl is over two inches as well.

Got a couple tins, including the big 8 ouncer of Union Square to fire up in it.
