I'll send you some samples if you want some. I have 6 out of the current 7. NO Meat Pie...I gave that one away.

Bought 8 oz of H&H Vermont Meat Candy, this stuff is like crack...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I split my order into two orders so I could score an extra calendar but I held off a couple days so as not to be greedy on the IPSD give-away by taking two of those. :tu Don't think I will be ordering much until next years IPSD.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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).

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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???

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice looking pipe. How does it smoke?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Arrived today. Thanks:tu
They smell delicious, can't wait for a nice day to sit outside & try them:dr

Last pipe for a while (I think) came in today. Scott Hudson rusticated poker.

My infatuation with pokers continues with this Jake Hackert that arrived today.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Was able to grab another pipe from Jake Hackert this week. Love his pipes, such great smokers.

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

Picked up a Kaywoodie billiard estate pipe.

I picked up this NOS MM General from ebay last week. The bowl is the same size as the current production model but the stem is quite a bit longer. http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...pse8fe210b.jpg

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

That's a cool pipe, man!

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

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I am thoroughly enjoying pipe smoking. Hotreds sent me a pipe and some tobacco. I bought this and have another pipe on the way.

Down the slope, I go.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

20 of those little rubber mouth piece protectors from china on ebay about ten cents apiece .

Woo Hoo! Squadron leader is good stuff :tu Curious to see how you compare it to the Proper English.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I will let you know :)

I really enjoyed Squadron Leader. That seems right up my alley.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

A pound of my favorite tobacco, G&H Louisiana Flake

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Grabbed a tin of Nightcap to see what the hoopla is about. Couldn't resist the Xikar pipeline lighter. Works like a champ so far.

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps8f73502a.jpg

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Louisiana Flake? That stuff any good?

Looks like a nice pick-up.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Not as good as the aged example I was bombed with, but it's pretty darned good. You should try a bowl sometime.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

WOW that is BEAUTIFUL work. Someone beat me too it but I am glad to see what it could look like before I was to get it done anyway. I have a OLD Large Bulldog that I have been telling my wife now for the last 5 to 6 months that I am going to Sand Blast it and change the color. That pipe is Beautiful there. NICE work

James

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Couldn't help myself.

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps093b3b16.jpg

Luxury twist flake, another 500g of Louisiana Flake, a pound of LNF, Beacon Extra that sounds tasty, and SP threw in a cube of gaslight.

That should get me to the playoffs. :tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Where did you get this from?

Some good stuff there.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Picked up a 100g tin of OGS, 3 X 50g tins of D.E. Gatsby Luxury Flake, and 8oz of bulk blend your own from P&C.

Also picked up these pipes:

Unknown Calabash with flush mount cup.

Very nice looking pipes Wayne and nice baccy haul.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

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.
