Some tins of Fire Storm.
The buck on the wall is nice too!
What do you use to restore the finish on the briar?I picked up this GBD (my first) a few weeks ago. Just finished cleaning her up today. The bowl on this pipe is freakin huge. The rim was unfortunately a bit beat up.
Before:
After:
I start by cleaning it with spit (no one is going to want one of my estates after admitting that!), a tooth brush, and a Microfiber towel. Once the briar is clean I polish using a solid block of Carnauba wax and a buffing wheel on my drill mounted in a vice.
Gosh I love baccy porn
Just arrived....my new to me Savinelli 2622 Dry System from eBay. Super clean....very nice looking pipe....comfortable in my hand and as I sit enjoying a bowl of Frog Morton I can confirm it smokes beautifully. Very happy

Savinelli "Sigla"
This Poker/bent Billiard cross-breed has a deep, very dark finish that only subtly hints at underlying reddish tones. It is sized somewhat smaller than other freehand lines but nonetheless is well proportioned and by no means petite.

Thanks man - I am super excited to give it a smoke... I can just tell it's going to smoke well
.Weird question. The reason I feel like it's going to smoke well is because it seemingly has the most open draw of all my pipes. But is that even possible? I mean 6mm is 6mm right? It seems silly - but I just feels more open?
There is a lot more to the draw than the diameter it was drilled... Geometry of the pipe, how the stem is finished where it goes into the shank, etc. there's quite a bit of science that goes into pipes that is far beyond me. I've been studying up on it and have contemplated trying to make a pipe from one of the kits you can buy with pre-drilled blocks but I already have too many irons in the fire.Thanks man - I am super excited to give it a smoke...

Hey thanks! I kind of felt silly asking that, but it's just so pronounced that... Looks like I need to do some homework. The science behind it sounds fascinating really.
As to too many irons in the fire, know this; you aren't alone
.Thanks again.
What's the shape number of that pipe? Thanks.TOYS from Smokingpipes.com - yay lol!
