Some more ebay buys.
4 Yello Bole-Three are new never smoked, the bamboo shank one has been smoked some. The finish on 3 of them is bad, looks like age or sun damage. I'm going to buff off the old finish, and then buff on a new carnuba wax finish.

Make sure you post pictures after you get them all dolled up.

I just won an auction on a yello-bole myself. Pictures will follow but I'm excited. I just know I won't be allowed to smoke in public when I'm with the finacee.

I stopped by Holts again today. The same guy that helped me out on Saturday was there again, very knowledgeable guy. I said I was looking for something a little more flavorful but non-aromatic so he recommened the GL Pease Union Sqaure.

I smoked a bowl of it tonight, pretty good.

I also rolled the dice on an "ebay" pipe (around $8 shipped). It came today and looked even better in person. I spent some time tonight cleaning it up, salt + vodka treatment in the bowl, and used a stem cleaner and briar polish that the guy at Holt's suggested. I think it looks pretty good. It's extremely light, hopefully tomorrow I'll get to see how it smokes.

I just won an E-Bay Yello-Bole for $9.99 + shipping.

This will be my first Yello-Bole, so I'm hoping that they smoke good.

Have a great night.

The Chesterfield's were pretty much copies of Peterson System pipes, that one looks like it has a copy of the P-lip stem too.

I've been looking at the Peterson System pipes and have wanted to try one. Hopefully this Yello-Bole smokes like the Peterson so I will get an idea of what they are like.

RE: The slope. Would you pros consider this full on free fall yet?

Hilson "Fantasia" 91.

Looks really beautiful in person and so far my most expensive pipe (excepting my first pipe that I gave to my FIL).

The Yello Bole looks very nice Jeff. Looks as if you could stuff a bit of tobaccy in that bowl and enjoy

I've been good for the past 4 months or so with not buying anything pipe related (I have plenty), but that just ended today. I picked up a Claudio Cavicchi from SP. Always wanted one, and today seemed like a good day to grab one.
