I use vodka and pipe cleaners for the stem. Rock salt and vodka for the bowl. Furniture polish for the bowl. I wash the stem then use cooking oil to polish it. There are a lot of articles out there on restoring vintage pipes!
Happy shaves to ya!

No please! Don't get me into another hobby! It is getting expensive now. I am looking at them on ebay and If can find one for a good price then I will get it.

Just found a vintage Dr. Grabow for 25 dollars. Might be good.

Finished off a pack of Mac Baren Navy Flake today, it took a while and it was quite dry and harsh.
Opened a cellared jar of GH & Co American Delite, much better.
Sorry no photo but will try to pop one on tomorrow.

Have any of you all rolled your own cigars? Maybe made your own pipe tobacco blend? The rolling cigars is in my blood even though I have never done it but my family has grown and smoked it for generations. I also want to try my hand at growing a bit of it my self. Anyways I have been thinking about maybe buying the tobacco leaf and rolling some cigars. What do you all think?

Thought I'd drop by and say hello. As of late, I've been smoking Amphora in my favorite Grabow Starfire.
