I looked on the internet and found all kinds of nice looking 'Crosby' pipes at all kinds of prices and some were Savinelli's $60-$70+ on 'careyssmokeshop' and some nice ones on other sites-check around. Also I never use a filter and if you mean that balsa filter I don't use and do not put that small plastic piece in Savinelli's back in and they smoke great. Jason
Nice, I've been looking into getting a Bing Crosby pipe, good to see what the original one looks like, thanks.
Do you know who makes them besides Dunhill and Savinelli? The Dunhill is a little to expensive, and the Savinelli only comes in filtered models, and I don't like using them unfiltered because the converter tube gets nasty.
The style was named after him since he designed it and that style or something similar is made now and then by any number of companies-but the original was made by Ed Kolpin and Crosby also of course had many other kinds of pipes. Glad you liked the video-Jason
@ToBaCCoRoW Thanks again for the nice comments and I enjoy passing this stuff on or at least some of the things I have picked up over the years. Jason
@astroman2112 Thanks James for your comments-I hope I was clear that bulldog was 100 years old (and stamped as such) when then 'dug it up' and I have had it another 47 years-both pipes shown are aged Algerian briar. Glad you like the video's and hope to do many more. Jason
Great video. Great story. I love the Crosby shape. Slim elegant pipes are actually hard to find now. Everyone wants fat stubby shapes. I went to the original Tinderbox back in June and got an old Stanwell they had "new old stock." It had been sitting there for years. Cheers.
@GothamCitySmoker I remember going into the original Tinderbox a few years ago and Ed had a few 'Crosby's' he made but the guys told me they were not as good or old as the briar the one I have from 1967 but still nice and good briar-they might still have some in their back storage building. Jason
You made a mistake...it should be "The GREATEST singer....."

@miketallica665 I don't remember what I said but Bing Crosby may well indeed be the greatest singer! Jason

THANKS FOR THE REPLY AND YOUR IDEA ON HAVING THIS PIPE DONE THE WAY YOU WANT IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING MANY PIPE MAKERS WOULD DO FOR YOU. JASON

so awesome. I love that shape. If I had the funds, I would get it custom built in sandblast black without the silver band.
amazing history lesson

Thanks again for sharing some of your collection.
