Ideal and Radcliff are unknown to me and I am not hardly the last word on pipes of the universe.

Learn more at pipedia.com and pipephil.eu; photos of pipes always help; average pipes tend to run in packs; look around for a guy named strongirish (Patrick) who has many hundreds of older pipes in a big bag under his bed and knows about these things.

If you decide to keep one pipe for your own use, just keep the four of them. It always works out better that way.


Keep the pipes until you know you wont need/smoke them.
