Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
great looking pipe Troy
love the "golf ball" lattice |
Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
My first pipe landed here yesterday; a Meer by Fikri Baki.
Meer because it's forgiving and I'm new at it, plus little ghosting until the stable fills with alternatives. Watching you all, I know it will... ; ' ) I chose Baki because everyone seems to agree that they're good quality, so I don't expect any behavioral issues. ST. GOTTHARD Also grabbed a tin of McConnell's Scottish Flake (smokes nice), and something the fellow behind the counter liked (ok, Walnut, but its a decent enough blend from what I can tell at this point!).

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Nice pipe Troy. Love Italian pipes. My local JR is having a pipe sale on February 20th (national pipe day) and they have a bunch of Mastro de Paja's that I will probably pickup.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Just ordered my first Boswell along with some Northwoods and Christmas Cookie! It's pretty similar to this pipe, but the color will be a little lighter and mine will have a yellowish stem.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Just received a nice sampler from pipeandcigars. Hoping my new pipe shows up today as well, but we'll see.
Sampler: Rolando's Own Virginia Spice Marble Kake Anniversary Kake AJ's VaPer |
Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
So, here's my new Boswell. Unfortunately this is the best picture I could take, only have my phone... It's much lighter than it shows in the picture, have one bowl through it so far!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Well, forgot to take pics before I stash my recent order away ( speed was the name of the game, I flew this one under the radar from the oldlady...)
Peterson Bulldog Kapet (150) http://img502.imageshack.us/img502/1...0297388.th.jpg For a shade under 50$...Smoked a few bowls in it so far and it's a good pipe. Actually planning on buying another from the series. I have a few with the silver band, and I honestly feel that the 25$ price difference may only be from the silver band. Baccys- Christmas Cheer 2009 x 2 Telegraph Hill 2oz Union Square 2oz Chelsea Morning 2oz Escudo Navy Deluxe x2 Blackwoods Flake 50g Matured Virginia No. 25 Also, snagged two cheap-o lighters and few packs of cleaners. Couple new blends to try out, Telegraph Hill will be a revisit. Got another order inbound of some more cellar worthy tins and a couple lbs of bulk...:tu |
Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
I have no idea why but I pulled the Trigger on a b30 St patty's day peterson and two tins today (McC VA #22 and GLP's Laurel Heights) ...Dont ask why...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Got this on ebay...never expected it to be as huge as it is...the main body of the pipe is about as large as a tennis ball, the chamber is so deep that if I stick my first finger in it it goes to the second knuckle and it's far too heavy to clench in your teeth...this is a hand-holder...and with that deep chamber will be great for flakes...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
My first straight pipe and it's a Kaywoodie...all of my pipes are bents...generally I don't like straights...I was, however, perusing the ebay Kaywoodie listings and spotted this little number...octagon-shaped billiard...unsmoked too...the pipe is Kaywoodie shape number 44 “Octagon Apple”...it had the original $15.00 price sticker on the stem...the seller says he thinks the shape and price correspond to that of the 1968-69 Kaywoodie catalog...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
Thats a nice looking pipe and a great find on ebay. I found an awesome savinelli pipe on ebay but it needs a lot of love. I do not know if the owner ever cleaned the cake off of this thing. Might be a loss but I am hoping I can bring her back to life.

Attachment 5857 This is the one from the bay. I will post a good pic this weekend. This is my 5th pipe I have tried to clean up so I am still new at the refurbishing thing. This one will be a good challenge. The outside does not seem too bad it is just the bowl and the mouth piece.
