Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 
My wife let me pick up some tobacco myself for my coming birthday. No pic(s) yet as it is still wrapped, but just had to share. To boost my recently started pipesmoking hobby I got a "My own Blend" sample pack with 5 totally different blends so I can give some direction to which tobaccos/blends I favor most.

It was the only sample I could find around here and it contains very diverse blends:
  • Rijnstroom
    Red Virginia with some black Cavendish, Perique and dark fired Kentucky. Also some Liqor 43 flavoring;
  • Red Feast
    Burley plug, brown Cavendish (Burley and Virginia) blend with some light vanilla and chocolate casting;
  • Golden Blend
    Ready rubbed flake blend from several Virginia and Burley tobaccos;
  • Smokin' Aces
    Mild blend from several Virginia and Burley tobaccos with some caramel and chocolate casting;
  • Red Heat
    English style ready rubbed flake blend from Louisiana Perique, Dark Fired Kentucky and Aged Virginia. Some black Cavendish, Oriënt and Latakia is also included.

Can't wait to try all of them so I can select some more blends, based on my opinion of this sample

Very nice Pete. Here's another wax to try out when your other runs out:

Its good stuff. If your pipe sweetener doesn't work out for you, a pipe cleaner dipped in your favorite bourbon or whiskey works great in the shank and stem:tu

Where did you purchase your sampler at? Looks like a nice selection to dig in to...

I got the sampler at my local tobacconist De oude leeuw (The old lion)

"My Own Blend" is a product of Scandinavian Tobacco Group (if I'm not mistaken) and is distributed in the Netherlands by Hajenius in Amsterdam. You can have your own blend made in their shop (and registered for future reference).

The sampler consists of the 5 non-personal (i.e. made by Hajenius) best sellers from the "My Own Blend" brand. Don't know if either shop delivers across the pond though :confused:

That's cool! Would be cool to see them blend it. I just got my shipment of this years' Christmas Cheer. After enjoying the '13 blend I'm hoping this blend is good also!

These were made to celebrate the Centennial of the Savinelli brand.

I picked these up on a pretty popular auction site in unsmoked mint condition!!

Apparently there were 6 pairs of special pipe shapes made to celebrate the 100th anniversary. These are style number 3.

Does anyone else have any more info on these or have any of the other styles?

Not a purchase but I recently inquired about Hobbits Weed and Matt (mhailey) was nice enough to offer me a sample. However he sent some really badass bodyguards. Thanks Matt! I've not had the chance to try the others either! Much appreciated!

you guys have excellent taste, I love these posts.

I'm currently waiting on 2 14 year old tins of Rattray's Accountants Mixture from pipestud. Also I scored a Big Ben ranger (the small pocket pipe shape) for super cheap. Oxidation on the small stem was really bad and I'd never gotten so strong of a burnt rubber smell while cleaning it up. Looks to be in fine shape, just high sulphur content in their stems I guess?

Few pickups from the inter web. 2oz of trout stream, a tin of Autumn Evening, and a nice jetliner pipe lighter.

Nice! Is that CC '15? I bought one tin of that and now I'm wishing I would've gotten two so I could age one and smoke one. I can only stare at that unopened tin so long...... :O

I also really like the Frog Mortons Cellar.

Yeah, the OP has a massive bowl. Took a while to finish the first bowl....like hours, LOL. Nice cool smoke though. Looking forward to pics of your Meer. I have yet to acquire one, and have just started reading up and learning about Meerschaum.

Nice smoke id say with my limited experience 😬,woody and smoky from the latakia and pungent and peppery from the prerique i think...

I'll give it a spin, I usually enjoy Pete's non-aromatics.

Picked up a tin of Sam Gawith's Summer English Flake from my B&M Sunday. Decent mild VA flake. I was hoping it was a Lat flake but the tin said nothing and I didn't other checking my phone first.

Very nice Steve, gorgeous piece.

Some tins came in yesterday:
Blakeney's Best Latakia Flake
Dan Ironsides
Another Samovar to add to the pile
and a sample of Bourbon Bleu

Bourbon Bleu is pretty darn good, I may grab a few tins to hold on to .
