Welcome back to the Smoking Pipe Rundown series — this is episode #3, where I go through another 10 pipes from my collection. In this video, I continue sorting and evaluating pipes using my personal rating system: Condition (0–9) – how much work I think the pipe needs Personal preference (0–9) – purely subjective Estimated value/popularity (0–9) – a rough guess based on appeal Source letter (P / L / none) – where I got the pipe + Video number – added to keep track for future restoration videos The goal is to build an overview of my collection so I can later: Decide which pipes to restore first Practice on lower-value or damaged pipes Learn as I go and improve over time In this episode, we look at a mix of pipes including: More Jeantet / Chacom-style pipes Welbeck, Craco, and BBB-style pipes A few Danish handmade pipes Some completely unknown or heavily worn pipes You’ll also see: Pipes with heavy cake, lava, and mold Cracks and damaged mouthpieces Interesting shapes and grain p
