Thanks, I really like the small bowls of French pipes. I'm expecting it today along with a tin of Comoy's Cask Nº 11 and a pouch. Hey, I needed some more tobacco with all the new pipes, right? :fp2

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Sounds delicious Darren:tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Which pouch did you get? I need to find a decent leather one.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I got the tan Columbus small box pouch. Oh, BTW, they sent the wrong pipe, again! Un-f*ckin'-believable!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

OH MY. ;s that is just crazy mind blowing. Some people think it is all the same and good ole people doing the QC Don't sound like it. Give them some time I am sure they will work out the bugs. :sl

But HOW can they get it wrong after so many times of getting it wrong. I mean if it was my company I would have a manager Hand pick your pipe and place a Pound of Tobacco in the box and maybe just maybe would have a Happy Smoker :noon :banger

Craziness

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

It seems to be only their pipes. I've gotten other things I've ordered okay. I've noticed their stock numbers do not correspond to the items in their photos. I even described the pipe to the customer service rep, it didn't help. I found another pipe on another site that I really like, for less money. I think I'm gonna just ask for a refund and get that one.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I've been on a Peterson binge. This is the first arrival.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

:confused: First arrival Neil??;)

That's a nice looking poker and good smoking tobacco too:tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

OK, OK - so here's number 2 then....
Off the bay - a 1990 Pete Delux 8S

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Score! :wo

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Told you it was a binge. These arrived from Ireland today:

The Aqua 408:

The Ashford: 606 (This is a very cool looking pipe!)

Was a bargain - with a spend more than 100 euro, get shipping free. I like free.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Both are great looking pipes Neil:tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice pipes! I like the Cumberland stem.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice pipes, Neil!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

This Comoy's tobacco jar showed-up last night, complete with gasket:

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

That's pretty cool. What's the metal contraption on top? So you can tighten it?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Exactly, air tight. Most tobacco jars I've seen have been pretty traditional or kitschy/figural, but we have sort of a modernist condo so I wanted something modernist.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Great looking pipe tobacco jar Darren. Haven't seen one of those for ages!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Thanks! I've never seen one before; I just stumbled across this one on a search for Comoy's estate pipes and I like cobalt.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Went a little wild recently. I've wanted a canadian for a while, so I couldn't resist this Savanelli.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Sweet score! I like the Canadian. :tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

What make is the Candian - looks nice.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Very nice purchase Jerry. Laying up a supply before Xmas?;)


Todd, you may find some of the answer here:

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

That's a great looking haul. Please let us know how that Pete xmas blend is.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice looking pipe. Let us know how the Sav smokes. Do you plan to use a filter?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice Haul, Would love to hear how the NEW Christmas tobacco smokes.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

http://i217.photobucket.com/albums/c...ps2cf0b8f3.jpg

Thanks gents. It's a Savinelli and I love it! I've used the filter so far, but Savinelli included a restrictor. I'll try it both ways, but ** NO gurgle!** I'd be open to some insight from more experienced members on the balsa filters. My Pete Father's Day has done nothing but gurgle since day one, so I may try one in it.....

I may crack open the Peterson Santa blend tonight. I'm normally not an aro smoker, but this one smells great. I'll report back.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Know about Canadians. I was meaning is it a: Stanwell, Savinelli, Castello, Don Carlos, etc...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Radice Twin Bore. I've been wanting one of these for awhile, but never found one I was in love with.

http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...ps6f2a37ab.jpg

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Wow that's nice. Is that considered a nose warmer? What does the twin bore do?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Jerry, I am curious about both of those Christmas Blends. Keep us posted

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

It's about 5.5" long so not quite a nose warmer but the bowl is stout which makes it look shorter than it is.

The twin bore is supposed to cool the smoke more than a standard draft hole. I haven't gotten to smoke it yet, and I'm a little skeptical about whether or not the claim is quantifiable, but the draw is wide open, so that makes me happy. The twin bore pipes were discontinued about 5 years ago.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Its early Dementia setting-in Todd:D; or maybe hoping the Packers bring their game bag with them on Sunday Night Football against the Bears;)


Beautiful looking pipe Derrick. The grain of the briar really shows and I like the wall thickness of the bowl:tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Have a twin-bore. Not sure it cools any better, but it does seem to reduce tong bite.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

That's a sweet looking pipe. I like the graceful taper of the stem.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice find on the 'bay.
Dunhill 6475 cherrywood estate.
In great shape other than slight scorch on the rim. Can wait to try this one - it's light, easy in the hand....

http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/...ps430b7182.jpg

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Very nice, Neil. It's that considered a poker? The bowl looks tilted forward. Is there a term for that?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I think that makes it a "cherrywood" - the actual pipe is still briar - it tilts to one side too.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Gotcha. Thanks! Nice looking pipe.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Another beauty Neil:pi

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Haven't had the H&H Egg Nog, but have enjoyed the Xmas Cheer. Good selections Andrew:tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Wouldn't that be a Tankard?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

The Egg Nog is really good! Probably my favorite I've tried so far

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Love Hearth & Home, I haven't tried that one yet. It is on my list of buys. Will be in my Stocking for Christmas :)

Enjoying some Hearth & Home Caramel Apple Pie in a Dr. Grabow Wire carved Belvedere.

Still binging on pipes:

Nice par of Petersons and a trio of older Dunhills....

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Wow, nice haul, Neil. Are you buying off of the bay mostly?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice score, Neil! I love the dunhill lovat, nice birds eye. :banger

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Off the 'Bay and a fellow on another forum who does some nice restoration work (The two Pete's were his)

Recently also met Rob Fox (James Fox of Dublin - 5th generation tobaconist) - great resource for Peterson pipes!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Wow cool. I may have to look into estate pipes. I'm trying to cut back on my buying lately though. This isn't helping with the PAD and TAD issue.
