Ive seen them on ebay
They probably work in the same manor as a boot dryer
I dont know if I would trust one on a good pipe or not

Unique, yes, but I would be afraid to really use it on a pipe. I would be afraid that it would dry out the briar too much and led to cracking of the bowl. It would be an interesting addition to your pipe smoking paraphernalia collection that you have Dock.

I highly recommend Scott Bundy at www.piperestore.com for all of your pipe cleaning and restoration work.

As Mike stated, would be an interesting addition to a display. I don't think I myself would put my pipes on it. What the hey, D.P.G., with all those pipes you got, why the hell do ya need a pipe drier, your rotation probably goes 2-3 months. lol!

To put it plainly: "What a crock."

I agree. A neat item for a collection. I suspect rare. But I would not use it.
