Looks nice! Let's see the pete now!

OK - here it is:

Very nice looking pipes.

I just scored a brand new Chacom Plume 905 on the 'bay for a song; $22 and change!

Great looking pipe Darren! I'd been looking at those and the GBD' too. Good steal on the Bay

Subvet642 · 09-28-2014, 01:17 AM

Thanks Mark, I'm looking forward to it. It has a condenser in it, and I haven't liked the way this works in my Kaywoodie, but it looks like it can be removed. BTW, I forgot I got this in the mail a couple of days ago:

I'm also waiting on an estate Commodore Canadian #202, but I'll take some pix when I've had a chance to clean it up and throw some wax on it.

I've been looking at GBD's since someone posted a real pretty one on here someplace.

It's funny, all it took was one piece of advice to make it easier for me to enjoy pipes. I forget who wrote it but it was: "Don't be afraid of re-lighting". Now I'm not struggling to keep it lit and therefore it's not over heating. That easy!

Same here, and dry tobacco. It's insane how good it tastes when it isn't a fiery inferno

My zippo butane insert came DOA, so I need to return it. I decided to give the fluid one a try again... I still taste the fluid, but I can't taste it down through the entire bowl like I did at first. I'm not sure if this is because my taste is muted due to allergies, or if it's because the wick needed to burn down some. For now it seems a little better. If I can limit the taste to only when I'm lighting, I think I can live with that for the ease and convenience of using a zippo. I have a lotus brand lighter that has a dual soft flame torch, but it has the smallest tank of any lighter I've ever used. It runs out of gas after about 15 lights, which isn't much considering how often I have to relight.

Here is my new Peterson 307:

I, too, have learned the joys of dry 'baccy. BTW, nice pipe; I've always liked military fittings.

Got my new Peterson Rusticated System 303 today. I have 5 tins of Escudo now and I haven't even tried it... I also got a sample of GLP Gaslight, which is very, very good. It's incredibly smooth. Good stuff!

WaRevo · 09-30-2014, 07:14 PM

That is an Awesome looking pipe. I haven't tried the Navy de Luxe yet either. 5 Tins and you haven't tried it yet?

I can't even control my self enough to not open a Tin of Tobacco when I get them. I buy to smoke

... Nice pipe

Boy, what is going on in your head?

Put a crowbar in one of those tins...

BTW, great looking pipe Brian

ApexAZ · 10-01-2014, 12:59 AM

Thanks. It seems to smoke great and doesn't have the draft hole issue that the 307 has. Makes me wonder... although it's also much smaller. I really want to open one of the Escudo tins, but already have 5 open tins and a little less than an oz of gaslight to get through. I guess I need to invest in some small jars.

I may have to sell some pens to pay for this new obsession.

I posted pictures, don't you see them? I do; they showed up in your quote.
