  • 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 time 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.

Your latest pipe/pipe tobacco purchase thread....

Here are the estates that came yesterday. I bought both of these from the same seller.

This says "AMBORY" and "LONDON MADE" underneath it. The silversmith hallmarks date it back to 1913-14. I'm going to be sending it out to get restored on Monday.


I also purchased this Barclay Rex. I'm going to try cleaning this one up myself.

Nording Freehand that's going back. The right side looks too lopsided.

Shame about the Nording as it's a nice looking pipe..

I'm a little bit off them though, my first Nording Bulldog had a wonky stem that went to the left.

I didn't want to give up cos i really like the look of some Nording's but then I bought a Virgin Grain poker and the stem snapped on me...

2 out of 2 is enough to put me off, although I thought I was just unlucky, now you got issues... yeah no more Nording for this guy...

The right side of the pipe's bowl is at least a half inch shorter than the side shown in the picture. A little too "freehand" for me.

SmokingPipes only had one picture of the pipe, or I wouldn't have ordered it in the first place.

A Phillip Rivara billiard. He also threw in some C&D Star of the East, and a cool tamper.

Holy hell I love that tamper!! I need to get out to the range so I can finally make a tamper out of some spent brass. Should track down some antler as well. I dig his work and like that pipe also. Hope it smokes as well as it looks!
