[QUOTE="D'Artagnan, post: 405529, member: 418"] I inherited my dad's pipes all circa the '60s and '70s. Like your grandfather, my dad smoked pipes, he did not collect them. He beat them against the car door jamb to empty them, banged them against flower pots, heel of his shoes, and carried them in his belt where they fell out frequently. My dad's pipes are drugstore brands, the most uber brands are a couple Irwin's and Mastersens. I had all the pipes restored at [url=http://www.precisionpiperepair.com/index.php.]http://www.precisionpiperepair.com/index.php.[/url] They did a fantastic job to the point where they are almost unrecognizable from their beat up and burnt our former selves. It took several years to send them in a small batch at a time, and they certainly cost more to restore than what it cost to purchase them but I cannot put a price on the fact that I am smoking my dad's pipes as if they were brand new. He too was a Captain Black and drugstore brand tobacco smoker, and now I smoke latakias, English blends, and flakes in them. I have a couple three reserved for aromatics in dad's memory. My dad's restored pipes are worth more to me than any of my Castello, Cavicci, Le Nuvole, or L'Anatra pipes that I own. [/QUOTE]
