Re: Pipe Acquisitions 2019
I just bought a Tilshead bent billiard on eBay. Probably shouldn't have. Now, I have to pick another pipe to add to the "sell" pile. But I swear, dollar for dollar (I have paid around fifty bucks for each of mine), these things are just remarkable.

Re: Pipe Acquisitions 2019
Well I didn't make it very long...not even through the 2nd month of the year and I have a new/estate pipe headed my way. I made a lowball offer and they accepted it...so I have a Wally Frank Billiard winging its way to Colorado.

Re: Pipe Acquisitions 2019
I mean, when they accept a low ball offer it's kinda like they're paying you to take it. You'd be silly not to, right?Bloodhound wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 9:27 amWell I didn't make it very long...not even through the 2nd month of the year and I have a new/estate pipe headed my way.

I have examined this year's St Patrick pipes by Peterson. My fast is not at risk.

I got a Mark Twain cob as my first serious cob-mod.
I have accidentally destroyed the shank.
I've tried a few DOZEN fix actions to no avail.
I'm a Project Manager; not a cob-moder, Jim.
