what is your latest pipe purchase

[NeverBend]

Got this pipe stand and four pipes for under $25. Couldn't pass up at least one bid. Won with the one minimum bid.
Looking forward to restoring them.

Hi Bryan,

Nice score! If you would, please list the nomenclature for the pipes. The one on the right appears to be an older Kaywoodie.

I don't have it yet, just shipped.
This is what the listing said.
It comes with 4 pipes the first says "Made in England", the second "Selected Imported Briar" the third "Made in London England" and the last is a "Kaywoodie Standard #01". I'm not sure of the brands of the first three, I know sometimes the words get worn off over the years, but they are in very good shape overall.

Lol! Me - duh!

Looks like the rims on all are in good shape, Kaywoodie very sharp.

Some info on Kaywoodie.

@MisterMoo might be able to give you some info on the Kaywoodie.

This was the exception that I mentioned, and I'd have bought it even if I were destitute.

Savinelli Fitsall Reamer


The rest of the lot is, literally, garbage but the Fitsall Reamer is an item has great meaning to me. I looked for one for so long that finally just stopped looking until last week when a kind gent pointed me towards this one on eBay..

I signed onto Puff forum in 2009 but I didn't stay long. When I returned in 2014 my first post was to ask if anyone knew where I could get one of these reamers and though no one knew anything about them, I did hang around long enough to meet @Branzig and @freestoke and I feel fortunate to have stayed to meet the rest of the good folks, now here on Cigar Bum.

Happens to be the best reamer I ever used and I've probably reamed over 1,000 pipes with one. I had two of them (if it's good - do it twice) but my former partner made off with them (that's the least of what he made off with) but it's like getting a little piece of myself back.

So I've come full circle here on Cigar Bum. Brandon, this is what I was looking for.

Excellent! Just simply excellent!

I am over-joyed that you have found it finally.

It's never over though, Pete. What's the next treasure? Be it pipe related or not, we are all hunting for something.

Just received this beautiful Briar Bird Fancy Tomato in the mail. I got it for a really good deal off someone and it seriously is gorgeous and feels great in the hand. I can't wait to smoke a bowl with it. IMG_2919.jpg

Thanks for the info!

From a little "rootin' around" I think the Kaywoodie is probably from the 1940s-maybe 50s, base on the following statements:
Until late 1930's pipes were stamped with a 4 digit code. Later Kaywoodie will cancel the 2 first style/finish numbers keeping the 2 last shape numbers and the letter for variants.
Up until the late 1940's/early 50's, the logo was on top of the stem. After that the logo was moved to the side of the stem (exceptions exist).

(It could be as early as the late 30s, from some old ads I've seen.)

Hey Joe,

You get a sharp pipe like this and only show us the aerial view of the tobacco hole?? That's like showing a picture of your beautiful girlfriend walking away and asking how she looks!

More pics pleeze (cuz this one looks good).

Hi Shaman,

Itty-bitty pic!

I think it will do great for you but as you know, use care with the clays. Tells us how it worked and what you caught.

So, for a 1.04 bid and 5.95 shipping, I figured what the heck. Now to look around and decide what to do with it. Says it's ceramic with a meer liner.
