I got my pipes back from Classic Pipes and Repair. Tony did a great job. Farthest left is a BBB. Going clockwise, we have a Comoy's Blue Riband that was chewed by a dog, but was worth saving for my rotation, then a large no name Danish with beautiful straight grain and finally a big, big Jobey that had a busted screw in stem. Now it is a push in type. All turned out great.  |

All great lookers. The Danish one is really nice.
I'm going over to my uncle's later with a bag full of 4 estates, and we're gonna work on spiffing them up.

Very nice. They really did a good job. I am especially partial to that BBB bulldog.

I may have time for a really long smoke later. Thinking of smoking the large Danish pipe. I can fit my whole thumb in that bowl. My thumbs are pretty big. Would you guys smoke a Balkan, English, Vaper, Burley forward or Virginia Forward blend or an aromatic?

Sounds like you described a wide chamber, for me I’d smoke my favorite flake well rubbed in that Danish beauty 👍👍👍 |

Would you guys smoke a Balkan, English, Vaper, Burley forward or Virginia Forward blend or an aromatic? Since you asked.....  I would fill that big Danish with a light English blend or a broken flake sort of English (like Drucquer & Sons Blairgowrie or John Aylesbury Own Mixture). But I would grab that little bulldog first and stuff a Virginia flake in it. Sorry--but I really do like that bulldog. She is a beauty. |

I have been thinking the little bullodog would really work well with OGC. |

Last night, I decided to clean up a few estate pipes while watching Sherlock, now I can smoke them. I do have a batch that needs to go off to Mike Myers, I have a great looking GBD missing a stem, he knows how to do them right.. right down to the rondelle. |

Nice collection. Love restored pipes. Imagine the experiences the owner has enjoyed in life. Quality of many “estate” pipes far exceeds that of many of today’s new pipes.

You’ve got a really nice collection there. The Bulldog would be my pick of the litter.
