I've owned over 100 pipes! Rex can testify to that. Bought and sold quite a few estate pipes. Just kept 3 that i wanted (don't need anymore). And 2 broken corn cobs lol only cause they look cool on display

Balkan sobraine or however its spelled. Just opened the tin. I love my nording and my vertigo soft flame!

And the frog on the bayou is 2009 not 6 like i thought. Ugh, Mondays

Drop shipments are awesome. Plus it allows you to continue aging all that good tobacco in your cellar, and you don't have to worry about making it to the post office before closing time!
Yup! I don't know how many times I've sent something out I've been trying to age. But it's all good. Always seem to get more in return fire. I mark all my gifted tins on the bottom so I know not to trade or send them out. I just can't keep track of who sends me what. It's just impossible for me. So drop shipping is perfect for me.

Curious if you guys think this pipe is salvageable. The stem is fairly loose it seems
Yes, I would say it is quite salvageable. First, if it is only a bit loose you may want to try just smoking it. When an old pipe sits the briar gets dry and can shrink. Smoking it will get some moisture in the wood and may get it to expand enough to where the stem fits properly again. If that doesn't work or it is really loose, get some clear acrylic nail polish and paint the stem where it enters the shank. Put as many coats on as necessary until you are happy with the fit.

Thanks, I'll try smoking it here in a little bit then. It definitely could use a good cleaning and the stem polished up. Might make a nice pipe if it smokes. I completely forgot I had this one.
Will do. I'm considering devoting it to Va and VaPer tobacco...
Nope straight from Mark Tinsky ( www.amsmoke.com ). I asked for him to make me one with a 2" bowl height, birch insert, and the tortoise colored acrylic stem. They usually come with a black stem.
He made this one first, but e-mailed me saying the grain was way too good to rusticate, so he had to do another one for me!

He was right. That is a great looking pipe just as it sits. I would have had a hard time going for the rusticated after seeing that one.
