Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Well I officially have my 1st Pipe show checked of the to do list.

It was really nice. It's nice to be able to see the pipes up close and hold them in your hands. Wide range of pipes also from Savinelli to Meerschaum to absolutely stunning Artisan masterpieces as well as beautifully restored estates.

I met Rick Newcombe, the author of In Search of Pipe Dreams and bought a copy that he autographed for me. I told him I was fairly new to pipe smoking so he brought me over to the Lane tablenand recommended some samples of Medal of Valor and Crown.

Speaking of samples, I got a bunch of different ones from GL Pease Virginia Cream, C&D Straight Up English, John Cotton's 1, & 1&2, War Horse, Bengal Slices, Lane 1Q, and a few different Solani blends.

The reps from Savinelli, C&D, and Standard Tobacco Company were all very nice to talk with.

Here is the entire haul...

The tin with no label is McC 5100 from '93. The pipes are a (unsmoked) Peterson Millennium Edition Dublin and a new Savinelli 320.

Nice haul! I went to a golf expo today and all I got were some free tee's seems like pipe shows are a lot better.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Looks like you scored some good stuff Patrick. I think I'll be adding "pipe show" to my bucket list.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Made a Viaje trade for these. Very happy!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice looking pipes. I'm familiar with the pipes on the left and right....who made the one in the center?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

J Deschaine from jdsmoking pipes. I fired it up already and it smokes perfectly. I was pretty excited about these.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Anybody have any thoughts on the St Patrick's day blend from Peterson?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I have a sealed tin but haven't cracked it open yet. I may on Thursday. I heard last year's was fantastic which they now make as a regular blend called Founders Choice.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Good looking Baki Mark :tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Thanks for the info. Might have to pick up a tin.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread

You got a black market Germains dealer Stevie?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

nope...just get lucky.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I finally got a brick of Semois during the P&C free shipping day. Also new on the menu is a tin of Rattray's Wallace Flake and a 2 year old tin of C&D Pirate Kake from JR's on drive back from JAWgia. The Wallace Flake and Semois are spectacular and I'm looking forward to putting some words down in review once a few more bowls are incinerated.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Order from P&C came in today including my first MM cob!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Stevieray, you'll have to let us known how that new C&D Small Batch smokes.

Seth, enjoy the new cob. Did you buy some filters for it, or are you gonna smoke it without?

I was recently down San Diego way attending a seminar, and I decided to stay over on Friday close by to do a mini herf with Adam (Adamjoshua) at Liberty Tobacco. Later before leaving, I perused their pipe tobacco area and found an aged tin of C&D Bailey's Front Porch sitting in there "git rid of" area. The cool thing about it was, the tin is from 12/2005, with the lid and bottom of the tin bulging outwards. So it had been sitting there for quite some time just fermenting. And, you can't go wrong with a $10 sticker price including tax, license, and drive it off the lot....:D

The blend is burley, latakia, perique, and virginia. Tin aroma is out of site:dr

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

That's Pete's cob but I'm strictly no-filter in all my pipes. I'm considering trying out the savinelli's wood filters just out of curiosity though, the trick will be remembering to take it out after a smoke or two.

Pete: How do you like the Black Shag? I've been reaching for that quite a bit recently and really enjoy it.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I haven't tried it yet unfortunately. Got a new puppy on Saturday and haven't had much free time. 😂 I did open it and it smells very fruity with sweet tobacco and earth notes.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

1.) I hate filters. My buddy Hektor makes these:

Less gurgle for sure. Hektor is also an all-round decent kid who can use the cash if you are after something different....

2.) I love Black Shag - but in small doses in a rotation - the burning tires aroma can be a bit much if you are hitting it every day!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I am not planning on using filters with my cob. Never really thought about using them and don't really know much about them.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

@Neil, funny you post that, I just came across that link a few days ago and have the page pulled up on my phone so I could check it out when time permits. Interesting and non-traditional but I have to say I'm interested. It never hurts to have a few oddball burners in the rotation.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Mail call...gotta strike while the iron's hot. Should be all set for a while.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Long story short .... I struck up a conversation with a B&M owner while on vacation last year and now he helps me find stuff that I can't find online.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

So since you have a supplier how much you want for that Stonehaven? :r

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Picked up a very slightly used Nording - finished...since I have an unfinished one - nice to have 2 :-)

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

All I can say is :dr:dr:dr:dr

looks amazing. please let us know how it smokes.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

:D...That Edgeworth looks yummy. Like maybe it would pair-up well with 3 eggs scrambled:dr Nice pick-up Patrick...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

:dr Nice pick up. Let us know how that smokes :tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Stumbled upon my unicorn tobacco while stocking up this week in light of the impending tobacapocalypse. First time I've seen Pelican available online at MSRP in years.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I bow to you all knowing master of rare tobacco....:eek:

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice pick ups. Let me know how you like that Pelican.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice tobacco's StevieRay. The new SM Beast release on April 29th I missed out on for the online retailers. Everybody was out by the time I finished procrastinating. However, I do know of a B&M in San Diego that had a dozen tin's sitting on the counter as of 05/04/2016. Just didn't feel like paying $14.95 a tin:D

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Some more tins arrived today in preparation of tobacapocalypse. I saw that Smoker's Haven had these in stock so i grabbed a couple of each. Their blends are made by J.F. Germain & Son. In the cellar they will go...:pi

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

lol...tracking this stuff down at MSRP is what's rewarding to me. These are somewhat easy to find if you are willing to pay crazy prices...but I refuse to pay 100 plus bucks for a tin of tobacco. :pi

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Agreed.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

More stockpiling....McClelland 10% off and pipes and cigars this month :pi


http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u...30FC4AB240.jpg

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Excellent pick-ups on 5/13 and today Steve. I took a slight advantage of the McClellands 10% myself from P&C.

Ordered the following tins: 3 McClellands Scottish Woods, 3 GLP Barbary Coast, and 3 C&D Oak Alley. From Pipestud, took home 3 100g tins of 2010/2011 Rattrays Old Gowie. From an order dated 05/10, awaiting 4 tins of SmokeHavens Our Best Blend (JF Germain & Son).
