Hello from Kansas City

[user 6075]

Started smoking a pipe about 10 years ago and soon became interested in refurbishing estate pipes. My favorite pipes to smoke are a Custom-Bilt, an old Perfecto, and a Stefano Santambrogio my son gifted me. I also sell some of the pipes I refurbish. It is my hope that through this forum I'll come to enjoy pipes and smoking even more! I also hope to continue to grow my knowledge of basic pipe repair and learn more about the variety of old pipes I come across. I look forward to interacting with you folks!

I just started refurbishing my pipe collection that I started in 1976. I would like help with the restoration of the vulcanite stems.

Welcome! I look forward to learning from you. Where do you find your estate pipes? I've not had much luck with antique stores, but I've only been a couple times.

Where do you find your estate pipes?

I get almost all of them from Ebay. Mostly, I buy lots of several pipes. Getting bargains that are worth refurbishing and selling takes patience, but they show up on occasion. I've probably sold about 80 pipes in all over the last 4 years, so it's just at the level of a hobby.
