Wow! Does the shop have a website?
JM Boswell estate pipe I picked up tonight from a shop. 45 bucks, he cleaned it and buffed it while i waited. Im so screwed. This shop has drawers and drawers of estate pipes. Dunhills, Tinsky's, oh my. Just pick one and he gives you a price, then he cleans and buffs it and your a happy camper.

BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.
wanna show off your briars?

Have been having fun cleaning up the pipes my folks sent me for Christmas.
First pipe I have ever cleaned was this Kaywoodie #14 flame grain. Not sure on year, if there is a way to tell that would be awesome. I see some from the 40s. No before photos.
Then I went to town on a Monterey Italian briar. It had a pretty pitted steam.
After soaking it in oxieclean for a few hours, it cleaned up nicely.
I don't have a reamer yet but the cake in the bowls wasn't bad, I just scraped it lightly with my tamper tool. I also used vodka for internal cleaning. Going to get a reamer and some more cleaning supplies as this was fun getting these ready to smoke out of.

So, here's the collection so far.
The four Papalia I cut my briar teeth on, a "new used" Brigham and Winslow Crown I picked up from JGIORD, a Big Ben Ranger and the newest, Sav 320 Alligator

I'm a bit of a Boswell's whore lately; I really enjoy his pokers. In a totally heterosexual way, of course.

Anything for you AJ… especially for one of those famous back rubs. In a totally heterosexual way, of course.
I meant lives. Let's trade lives.

Pauls Pipes Poker, I call it "zombie" I mixed a couple ideas he had and came up with this. Great construction, awesome detail and dude is super communicative on the whole process. Very excited to burn some in this bad boy!
