Carnuaba Wax Flakes (T1 Grade)

Well, I needed a supply of carnauba wax...and then this came along. 9.4kg of T1 (highest grade) pure carnauba wax. I'll melt it in the oven in some muffin trays to make pucks for use with the polishing mop. I know even a little bit of this stuff goes a very long way, so this should be the only time - for MANY years- that I'll need to purchase carnauba.

This pipe has amazing grain and is pure class and when cleaned up will look fantastic.
A gift from Hoot to add to my collection.
Will post when its fully cleaned and polished.
Lovely grain.



The bit is a great shape no tooth marks.
And will clean up a treat.

  I would like to thank Hoot for his continuing generosity.

Old Movie "Pipe Spotting"

I like to watch old movies so when i see a pipe i take a  screenshot.
The movie is Rene Clair's - And Then There Were None (1945)
and Sherlock Holmes  Dressed To Kill downloaded from http://archive.org.
Not a great movies but it's all about "Pipe Spotting"
All of the movies i take screenshots from are in the Public Domain.

Looks like a Bulldog.
I so need a Monocle.
This guy sure has the head for one.
