First & foremost, look at that grain, whoa! When GBD had Horry Jamieson carving their "Unique", BBB was not far behind and I even once heard that Horry also made the Uniques for BBB as well but I am unsure if that is fact or fiction! Either way, it certainly is an extraordinary piece, not one you'll come across often and a super cool shape indeed. I love this bowl, beautifully formed showing Calabash & Cauldron characteristics with fine single bead adding a nice touch and a rounded rim opening to a hearty chamber. The bowl tapers down to "Walrus" like feet that make for the perfect sitter and to the rear a graceful transition to a wide slightly bent oval shank that extends to meet the original vulcanite saddle stem with fishtail bit and BBB diamond. Finish is a rich contrast with golden undertones while the grain shows off exceptional 360 degree straight grain that would make a Dunhill DR blush and the rim covered in birdseye, holy smokes!! A phenomenal piece from BBB and collectible indeed, this one's not to be missed!

Shipping: 

Domestic is $12 via USPS Priority. 

International: If you are registered with the Global Shipping Program, the cost for pipes under $500 in value is $10 to ship to eBay's shipping center and then the customs fees/tariffs are calculated there and up to the buyer if they are charged up front or on the back end once processed. Due to an almost 25% increase for Express and Priority Shipping, I am switching back to First Class for $25 moving forward to all international destinations. Express or Priority is available upon request, as is insurance. Any lost parcels will be refunded upon insurance payout.

Restoration Methods: I have been restoring pipes for 17 years and have taken bits and pieces from many guys whom I consider the best there ever was in the business and built upon it with my own experience and tricks of the trade. Each pipe is first cleaned by removing all cake, making the chamber smooth and round again if necessary, removing all gunk in the shank and stem with alcohol, then exterior cleaning and polishing of the stummel and stem with no oxidation left but at the same time leaving the vulcanite or acrylic and any logos intact. My restorations end with the pipe looking like new and being completely free from previous signs of use. I do not use salt/alcohol treatments in my bowls but rather if the pipe smells of prior tobacco I will put it in my ozone chamber to make neutral. Lastly, many guys ask me "how are your pipes so shiny!!??" I lightly use the fluffy edge of my white diamond buffing wheel to clean and restore stummels which removes all grime and oils while restoring the original factory luster. I then hand buff and finish with a flannel wheel with high quality carnauba applying multiple coats as they do at the factory as well. This results in the pipe looking as new and will keep it's finish with a simple terry cloth hand buffing at home. Enjoy!
