Just picked up a new Ardor, fresh from New Orleans:

Can anyone point me to what shape this might be?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Not sure what shape it is but that's a SWEET pipe! :pi

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice, that's a very interesting pipe. :)

Been waiting for the right one to show up for a couple of years. Not sure what possessed me to get the thin-walled ultra-light old-style Pete army mount barrel, the one with a history of cracking or burning out, but they've always called my name - just never got lined up with the right one at the right price at the right time. Bingo, Ebay! For only a few bucks more than a new, unappealing, discounted non-army version - poof - it's here. Unsmoked and fishtail, not Pfui-Lip, bit; one tiny ounce...

Perfect with MacBarens Navy Flake. I am liking this little guy for sipping a sweet 30-min+ smoke.

Snagged this ST Dupont Zulu off of smokingpipes last week.

Apparently it was part of Aaron Spelling's estate (creepy looking guy who produced Dynasty, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place and TJ Hooker).

Smoked a bowl of Black Parrot in there last night and it was sweet.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice pickup Scott, but I have to ask. Why didn't you spring for the rest of the estate?

Hopefully, you have a back-up pipe Dan if the above occurs;):D

Nice purchase BTW...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Just starting the Pipe thing so I got a inexpensive pipe for $13 (wholesale cost).
Im not too sure what it is or who makes it. The only markings on it are ""Made in Greece", so its probly an elcheapo. But thats what I was looking for. I didn't and couldn't spend a whole lot of money right off the bat.

Any help on this would be appreciateve.

My first meerschaum finally arrived in the mail from Turkey. An IMP XXL. This thing even dwarfs my Savinelli Hercules.

That is a great looking pipe!!! Nice pickup!!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

[quote=DropTheE;960244]Thank you everyone for the compliments... Its my first ardor, and I am loving it. The guy who runs my local Tinderbox picked it up while in New Orleans at the trade show, and I fell in love..

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

My second pipe is just a simple cheap little corn cob, but it's going to survive a lot longer than the last little pipe I had (it only survived two weeks til it got broke.) I'm thinking of getting a churchwarden made, and if I do, I'll post up pictures up when I get it.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

[quote=nater;960584]Very nice! Ardor is a pipe brand I'm interested in trying out.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

So I stopped by a B&M I had heard about and noticed they had a lot of pipes and decided to give one a try.

This was the tobacco that they recommended:
Barrister – We’ve improved the traditional English blend! You’ll still get the natural “woodsy” taste of Latakia, but not its unpopular aroma thanks to just a touch of the perfect aromatic flavoring. This is a perfect fusion blend or the smoker on the fence between aromatic and non-aromatic blends.

Where ya live at Tom? I stop in to Fader's at least once a month. I'm down in Dundalk.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Is it me or do other get excited for people when the purchase new pipes, or get thier first pipe and pipe tobacco?


I just really love this hobby!!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Probably a side effect of living in Green Bay during the football off-season. Relax. Have some apple pie, cheese and coffee.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I'm in Odenton, I went to the Catonsville shop.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

http://i1015.photobucket.com/albums/...e02/photo6.jpg

1 Tin Old Dog
1 Tin Portrait (local B&M blend)

and 4 1oz Samplers of other store blends

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice pickup there. I usually hit the Fader's in Towson up. They got a HUGE setup for pipes up there. If ya can manage the drive up there its worth it.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I'll have to check out Towson, Catonsville had more pipe stuff than I had ever seen in a B&M before, only downside is they don't have a lounge its just hanging out around the shop smoking. Today I was at there Annapolis store and wasn't really impressed. I also went by Davidus to grad Cigars and picked up there house blend(Portrait) I'm about to smoke some of it right now.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Their smoking lounge is very nice there. I'm off on Fridays. Let me know if ya wanna meet up. I'd be game for heading over the Catonsville and checking out what they have.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Just got a package in the mail today.
2 tins Mac Baren's Dark Twist Roll Cake
1 tin of Mac Baren's Roll Cake
1- 100g tin of McClellands' Blackwoods Flake.

Found a good place to pick up cheap baccy!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Next Friday(10th) would work for me, just let me know what time I have the day off.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

And where would that place be Frank?:)

It's a tobacco shop run out of a liquor store down in Kentucky. Good prices. Think I may order a pound of 2015, he's got a good price break on them right now. Just give the guy Byron a call. Selection isn't as great as other places but....

My newest pipe, I smoked a couple bowls out of it already and I think it smokes much better than my cheap briar.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Nice looking pipe there Tom. Nice thing about Meers is they do not ghost.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

What do you mean by "do not ghost?"

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Wonderful! Well, hopefully all the different aromatics I'm trying while breaking in my new pipes won't totally futz up my learning curve about what I like and don't!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Not a purchase but a free sample I got from Altadis of "Maple Street"

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

So I decided that I need another poker, so I went over to a local shop yesterday and picked up this nice Peterson poker. I love pipes that don't require a stand to set down. This will make a great pipe for working in the yard. :noon

Edit: sorry for the picture quality, all I have is my phone.
