Great looking pipe Darren! I'd been looking at those and the GBD' too. Good steal on the Bay:tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 
Thanks Mark, I'm looking forward to it. It has a condenser in it, and I haven't liked the way this works in my Kaywoodie, but it looks like it can be removed. BTW, I forgot I got this in the mail a couple of days ago:

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/pictur...pictureid=8574

I'm also waiting on an estate Commodore Canadian #202, but I'll take some pix when I've had a chance to clean it up and throw some wax on it.

I've been looking at GBD's since someone posted a real pretty one on here someplace.

It's funny, all it took was one piece of advice to make it easier for me to enjoy pipes. I forget who wrote it but it was: "Don't be afraid of re-lighting". Now I'm not struggling to keep it lit and therefore it's not over heating. That easy! :r

Same here, and dry tobacco. It's insane how good it tastes when it isn't a fiery inferno :)

My zippo butane insert came DOA, so I need to return it. I decided to give the fluid one a try again... I still taste the fluid, but I can't taste it down through the entire bowl like I did at first. I'm not sure if this is because my taste is muted due to allergies, or if it's because the wick needed to burn down some. For now it seems a little better. If I can limit the taste to only when I'm lighting, I think I can live with that for the ease and convenience of using a zippo. I have a lotus brand lighter that has a dual soft flame torch, but it has the smallest tank of any lighter I've ever used. It runs out of gas after about 15 lights, which isn't much considering how often I have to relight.

Here is my new Peterson 307:

Got my new Peterson Rusticated System 303 today. I have 5 tins of Escudo now and I haven't even tried it... I also got a sample of GLP Gaslight, which is very, very good. It's incredibly smooth. Good stuff!

Boy, what is going on in your head?;) Put a crowbar in one of those tins...

BTW, great looking pipe Brian:tu

ApexAZ 09-30-2014 11:59 PM

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 
Thanks. It seems to smoke great and doesn't have the draft hole issue that the 307 has. Makes me wonder... although it's also much smaller. I really want to open one of the Escudo tins, but already have 5 open tins and a little less than an oz of gaslight to get through. I guess I need to invest in some small jars.

I see them now. Nice looking pipe, and bag! I have a Chacom bent bulldog that I need to send to have some work done. There's an issue with the draft hole in the stem where it seems to step down in diameter. It makes it hard to run a cleaner through it. It's a nice pipe otherwise.

Ordered loads of tobaccos, Some will be here tomorrow, Then 6 more tins and a couple of Oz of a couple of tobaccos next week. So today I picked up 2 14oz cans of PA. Tobacco isn't safe with me.

That's a lot of tobacco; nice haul! Is that stuff any good? How many bowls do you smoke per day?

I smoke anywhere from 8 to 10 bowls a day. It has been around for many years. I hadn't started smoking other blends until the last 6 or so years. before that it was only PA and CB white, every now and again I would smoke some Velvet and then a few times a month I would buy a few blends to try from Tobacco stores that they would have in Jars and you would buy by the Oz. How ever I moved away from all the cool B&M and started to buy offline. In bulk I have about 4lbs of tobacco and Tin Tobaccos I have just under 1lb. In the last couple of years I have started to buy and try other OTC to try.

Sorry got off topic anyway PA is a good straight tobacco.One that I and many others use to break in a pipe and one day I will find Carter Hall and start smoking that again... Fun days

The top pipe is an Amazing smoking Pipe a Savinelli 622 KS. The second pipe is a Savinelli 626 Pocket pipe. It is a very nice smoking pipe so far with the tobaccos I have smoked in it.

Couple of impulse buys since I already had an order together on the devil's site.

The CAO smells amazing. Haven't cracked open the John Bull yet. For $3 each how bad can they be?

Don't discount the John Bull because of the price. It is actually pretty good IMHO. I smoke it over any of the D.E. tins at 4X's the price.

These came off of the *Bay late last week. Top to bottom: Charatan's Make Perfection 481oc; an unknown billiard and an unknown bulldog (purchased together):

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...ps7191e2da.jpg

The Charatan was cleaned and stored away about 20yrs ago. It will receive a proper cleaning and polish. The other two I had purchased to clean, ream, and give a good polish to, with hopes that they will have a better look thereafter to sell at a later date (maybe). I'll post some "after" pix when I've completed these tasks...

I have today and tomorrow off so I'm gonna spend some time breaking in a couple of my other new ones with some Ashton Gold Rush. I've never smoked a straight Virginia before, but I'm looking forward to it.

Thanks Mark! I find myself gravitating toward the "prince" shape. The small bowl size just suites me and it's easy to smoke it down to ash. Next on my list is a spigot or some kind of Army mount. Funny they're not called Navy mounts: it seems that Sailors can smoke and fight at the same time. :D

I am having an upcoming pipe artist here in Phoenix named Jerry Crawford make me a straight billiard with high contrast stain and a saddle stem. I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out. I also plan to buy a Tom Eltang pipe sometime next year, but that's a ways off.

You can find some of Jerry's work at his website http://crawfordpipes.com.
