Thought I'd throw in some baccy pics too.

[cp478]

Savinelli Estella Non Pareil.

[cp478]

Okay, I showed you mine. Now lets see yours!

I don't know if I have a picture of all of my pipes. I can post individuals though but that might crowd up the thread. Here is a picture of my tobacco. Each of the mason jar box contains 12 full jars. I also got lucky and won about 6 ounces from various contests that are in route.

Nice baccy pics!

Thanks Charlie. I see you have alot of great tobacco. I am very fond of the different Frog Morton's as well. Very good stuff in my opinion.

As far as my tobacco goes, I can't say that I am wealthy enough to purchase this much. Most of it was either won from contests, free from Altadis (they had a thing where you sign up and get a free tin sent to you and I registered three separate addresses haha), box passes, or given to me by friends. The largest portion of it though came from a brother over on pipe chat that sent me 3 pounds of pipe tobacco and he also included a Peterson Donegal Rocky. Here is a picture of what he sent me. I am truly amazed at how generous people can be.

This reminds me I need to get back into the bombing spirit .




By the way, I am going to go find my pipes right now and take a quick picture.

Is that a amber stem or does it just look like it?
The paneled pipe in the bottom right corner looks like the jobey that Is in the bottom right of my laptop in my big pic.

It is block meerschaum with an amber stem. I got it for $20 shipped from a fellow piper over on Pipe Chat. Its not in perfect shape, which is good because I don't worry about little scuffs and whatnot, and for that price I can't complain. I really like how it smokes but I mainly only smoke Stanwell Melange in it.

Wow, that was a steal for that price. With that being real amber it is very old.
Does it also have the bone tenon?

No it has a metal one. I wish it had a bone one as those are really neat. I was told it was real amber but I don't know how to verify because of the metal tenon. Some of the tests I have read about are putting it in salt water, true amber floats, burning it, true amber drops like incense but this is a pipe stem so I won't be doing that haha, and wiping a solvent on it, true amber does not dissolve when in contact with most solvents, again this is a pipe stem so I don't want to harm it. If you know of any other way to tell I am all ears.

No, I have never been lucky enough to acquire one myself.

I really like your pipes. Are those at the top Savinelli or Stanwell? I can't really tell from the picture. Regardless, you have some very nice looking pipes.

[cp478]

The one on the top left is the stanwell silver spigot that I also posted later.
The one on the top right is a Rattrays Bog Oak (Morta).

[cp478]

Just snagged this Dunhill Rollalite at an estate shop for 40 bucks.
Just like this lighter, I have bartered and traded up to get nice pipes and baccy.

Sweet lighter. Is that a field manual in the background?

Yeah I also picked up military field manuals for the m-14 and m-1 carbines. And free no less.
