the normal size filter was to long and had to cut it off. any info on these pipes would be cool.
I cleaned them with lot's of vodka and scrubbed the stems with very light steel-wool took out 1/2 the cake from the dr. not much in the other pipe any suggestions before first use? thanks

Just fair warning: remember, the fresh cut briar will more than likely be a much different color than the previously cut stuff, but great find!

I love the stand and the pipes are very cool. I have an English brier that my dad brought back from the service that was used by my grandfather. I've never lighted it, since it reminds me of the one grandfather I never met.
I also have the clay pipes from the late 1800s from Ireland that the family brought over.

Now that is awesome. I wish I had some of the old Supple family pipes. I don't even know if they exist anymore.
