Pipe Smokers Forums

Hard to top that offer but I'm back home and took a picture of a few things anyway.

Starfire 82, Tinderbox Unique, Westbrook 84, John Bessai twin bore, Starfire 46, Supreme 9578a, and Westbrook 83. I'll do the same deal as Tom, pick two and the Starfire 46 goes with them free. Thanks for the offer as well.

Paul, Monk and I are friends. You'll not hurt either of our feelings. We've made a bunch of swaps between us.

Wow.. I am overwhelmed.. that is a lot of amazing stuff! I am going to have to ruminate on both spreads for a spell. I think now is a good time to load a pipe.

There was a pipe that almost got in the mix but I thought of you first, I'll send a picture.

I'm just waitin' for someone to throw a puppy into the deal...

That is some top notch fodder!

No lie!

If you don't find a trade then I'll gladly pay the $70. I like the 'P'.

This is my 'fodder'. I'll trade any 2 (plus the meerschaum for free) for the 314.


Starfire #19, Viscount #48, Viscount #85, Starfire # 25 with a factory repaired crack in the shank.
Alpha Israel Freehand, and a Savanelli 'Bings Favorite".

An aggravation is that my wife and I go to Florida for 5 months and we are right in the middle of getting ready to go. Any you pick may not be cleaned and sent for a few weeks. A check can go immediately.

Thanks for the offer.. ted

Hey Ted, if the other guys don't snag the Starfire #19 after the dust settles, would you like to sell or swap for something? I got a 19 or a 66? off the bay a short time ago and turns out I got took. the bowl was in great shape but the bum busted off the lip and fabbed one back on w/ epoxy. I've got an email in to Grabow now for a replacement stem but till then...I'm on the hunt!

If you want a replacement stem from the factory just mail the pipe to them along with, I believe, $14. They'll restem it and mail it back.

Man, what a brutal choice to make.. I had the picture of both lots open in separate tabs, switching back and forth for about an hour. My wife eventually came over and I asked me what the heck I was doing( I think she could see the on-coming anxiety attack). Naturally, I thought the best course of action was to let her decide which to chose from the pipes I liked. I am gonna go with the Starfire 82/Westbrook 83 from TM's lot.

I just have to say though, I am continuously amazed at the awesomeness of the folks on this forum. Y'all are good people. I honestly can't help but wish that I had a Pete to give to each of you - after those two offers you definitely both deserve one!
