Outsourcing pipe restoration?

[Curly Cut]

i learned my lesson about my local shop... NEVER again. and i'm still pissed.
of course, it's not a shop as world renowned as LJ Perretti is.

i'd ask some locals who have used the local place if they'd recommend it first. could save you tons of time and shipping.
if you can't do that, then maybe someone with some helpful info will respond.

Rich repaired a pipe for me probably two years ago now, the results were great but the wait was a little long.

mmmmm, their prices seem very reasonable.

I wonder if "Ream and Clean" includes de-oxidizing the stem as well. $10.50 would be a damned good price. For that kind of money I would send out more than just the Dunhills!

I didn't ask about de-oxidizing, but here is a response I just got from Floyd. His prices seem to be very fair.

"HI Ken,
The ream and clean get the pipes looking as new as possible, inside and outside.A lucite stem for the pipe would be $18.75. Bending is $1.00 extra.
Thanks
Floyd"

I think I'll be packing up a bunch of pipes sometime this week.

Take care.
Ken

We've used Norwoods for 40+ years and they do great work at very reasonable prices.

Highly reccomended.
