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

http://www.finepipes.com/accessories/halcyon-ii-wax 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 Quote:
Where did you purchase your sampler at? Looks like a nice selection to dig in to... |
Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
That sounds like a a great idea Mark.

"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: |

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? http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...pswgvqk5sk.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...pswizhyqlg.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psh5w9v3cz.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...psxxrsxxsx.jpg http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n...pshjxkovz4.jpg |

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!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
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? |
Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Few pickups from the inter web. 2oz of trout stream, a tin of Autumn Evening, and a nice jetliner pipe lighter.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
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. |

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Stevie Ray, that Boswell OP looks massive and nice rustication. The Bones is a beauty too. I just received a last addition in yesterday to the Meerschaum family, and will attempt to post a photo up later...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
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. |
Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Picked up a nice reverse calabash stubby dublin from pipe maker Paul Menard.
