Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread

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).

I just got in the mail this vintage Wally Frank. Now this is what I call A Man's Pipe. The pot shaped bowl on this thing is huge. I can fit my gorilla thumb down inside the bowl, just past the knuckle, and there is even room to wiggle it around in there. For having a rounded bottom this thing sits like a champ, you can even set it down at a 45* angle and it still uprights it's self.

Very nice, I like the Pot shape. I have a Silver Spigot that should be here today, I will post pics tonight if it arrives.
