I'm always gobsmacked when I see pipes with that kind of cake build-up. How does a smoker allow that kind of accumulation? Great job on both of those.

Nicely done! Worst cake build up I've ever seen.

It is surprising the second pipe didn't develop cracks in the briar with all that cake build-up. Nice work on the restorations!

To build that much cake, must mean that it was a favored pipe.

Nice job! I'm working very cautiously (read: slowly) and I hope to make them look as good as that. The second one looked like the previous owner was smoking VERY quick bowls when they were done with it.

To build that much cake, must mean that it was a favored pipe. I actually smoked about half a bowl today out of it, and found that it smoked VERY well. I'm eager to get a few more bowls through it of various types of tobacco to see what it likes best. |

Great restorations! The Flagship pipe might be made by the New England Briar Pipe Co. I think it was bought by S.M. Frank Co. in the 1950s, so it might be a Kaywoodie relative.
