Had a few extra bucks knocking around (rare these days) and thought I'd pick up a tin of baccy (Dunhill Nightcap, it comes with a free tool :)) along with some pipe cleaners and a cork knocker. I'd read good reviews and I hope this will help get me to smoke my pipes more often. New stuff is always fun. :noon

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 
IMHO you should be happy with the Nightcap. Not too many people who don't like it.

The trick with buying tobacco from reading a review is finding a reviewer who has the same smoking tastes as yours and does not make biased reviews just because of the "hype" of a certain tobacco. If you find Pipestud's reviews, his a straight forward honest reviews.

Just a small pick up, eh? :r

Cleaned out Tobacconists of Cary of their Dorchester(3 tins) and grabbed tins of Dunhill Flake(already about killed the tin I grabbed not long ago), Wessex Brown Virginia Flake, Wessex Gold Brick, Wessex Campaign Dark Flake, and McClellands Blackwoods Flake. Phil threw in the remainder of his sample tins of Dorchester(about halfway gone) and Tordenskjold Virginia Flake(a few bowls left).

The Nightcap reviews sound like others that I like and I figure $8 is a small risk.

I never had the Baby's Bottom blend, but heard wonderful things about it. Something I have always wanted to try. I will live vicariously through your review of it.

I picked that one (Baby's Bottom) up on a whim and as expensive order filler...too bad the other tins I really wanted were already sold so this was the order that day.

I'm not sure when I would be opening the tin Rev...unless you & the Col. want to do another dueling reviews on it. Maybe even make an event out of it and 5-6 people give it a whirl???

I'm not expert enough to know what I'm tasting, as evidenced by our opposing reviews. However, I'm all for seeing a dueling Pyro/ReView on this one. :tu

Hey, you're the one with the tin. You open it when you want to smoke it - you review it.

New pipe from Boswell's arrived today. It's a rusticated shot-shell poker. I bought this sight unseen after Dan described it to me over the phone. I absolutely love this pipe.

RE: Baby's Bottom tin, OK, one of these days I'll get around to popping the top.

I won't be making too many purchases this year tobacco wise because I come to realize I have a LOT of tobacco sitting here waiting to burn in small, slow, fires. I did however get a box with 10 blocks of Algerian Briar that were cut in the 50's. They feel a bit heavier than the blocks I have purchased in the past.

Smokes great Rev. Better than my Peterson and Savinelli pipes that's for sure. Pretty new to pipes so I can't exactly explain why though.

The Nightcap is dated Feb. 1997 when purchased so I'm guessing it was tinned in 1996 at latest.

I like those Hackerts up there too. When I used to make youtube videos about pipes, one of my friends on there was big on his pipes, would have been back in 08 or 09 :tu

Great find! I have some Murray's tinned EMP and it's really really good. I won't say better, but definitely different from the more recently done stuff

Ok, so I have hit the pipe slope with a running start. My wife has been helping as well.

I just received a new T. Polinsky pipe I won on Ebay. I snagged some pictures from the auction.

I LOVE this pipe. I think it's beautiful. I also like the oversized feel as well. The pipe also doesn't get so hot. I smoked it last night for the first time. No complaints whatsoever.

Then, for fathers day, my wife bought me some tobacco, and a new pipe lighter. Here is a pic I found on the interwebs.

Sorry, not opening any new stuff up. But, I might have to order some more to cellar, just so I do not run out later.

I had sent the pipe to a pipe maker in Texas to blast. I DO make a pipe from time to time, but for what he charged compared to buying all the blasting equipment & learning how to do it, I was more than happy to pay for it to be done. I think it only cost me $20 then I had to re-stain it.

Smoking pipes in Little River. They've always had what I wanted in stock. P&c was out of stock on the Louisiana flake for a while. Best part is that I ordered Sunday and it was on my porch Tuesday. Apparently I live close enough for free overnight shipping :r

I don't smoke a pipe too often, but I do like them. Picked up this large Rhodesian on eBay. A Wozniak hand made. It's huge - 6cm diameter handful. Really nicely made and presented complete with sock.
