That's a really nice looking pipe. I kinda like the stem.

I think it is lovely including the stem! fantastic score!

It's beautiful. But wouldn't the white stem begin to look bad?

Ultrasonic cleaner. Vodka (only sensible use for the stuff), pipe cleaners and a soft cloth.

My new Crawford finally came today! I am so pleased with it. Pictures just don't really do it justice. It's exactly what I wanted and the craftsmanship is simply exquisite. I am getting ready to load a bowl of Haddo's to see how it smokes. So awesome!

Brian - what material is the ring? Was that bamboo?

It's some sort of wood. I forget. It's not bamboo though. I'll find out and update the thread.

No photos, but I scored some Esoterica Peacehaven; I got the last 2oz at Gold Leaf Tobacconist in Seabrook. It's the Margate with some aro topping. I haven't tried it yet, but I dying to. I also bought some more Barbary Coast. The proprietor told me that he used to stock all of the Esoterica line, but he couldn't move it, so he stopped buying so much. He did also say that he can special order pretty much anything. His prices are pretty decent; the 2oz of Peacehaven was only $14. The guy, himself is super helpful, super polite, totally nice guy.

It turns out that the Peacehaven was only $9.00; I forgot that I also got some moistener buttons, too.

Better tell us what that Dark Twist is like! Never saw that tin before...some kind of Canadian conspiracy to make the Yanks jealous?

Just ordered a tin of McClelland Christmas Cheer 2014

20% discount code (winter) at Cigars International

You people are really bad influences! Now, thanks to this forum, I'll likely to be sleeping in the carport with the dogs. Been stocking the cellar nicely with some seriously top notch pipe blends and the wifey just can't understand. In her view, I could not ever smoke this much pipe tobacco in a year. Silly woman - just doesn't understand the concept of collaring!

Just got some Bishop's move and blend 44 from uhle's in Wisconsin.

This came in the mail last week. The wife hasn't seen it, yet.

You could always ry what I try. I just tell wifey that I have had it for a long time. I just dusted and polished it and it looks new! Hope it works!

Too much detail makes her suspicious. Ya see, I'm kinda anal retentive, so everything I have looks pretty new. I have a 24yo Pioneer stereo that looks like I took it out of the box yesterday. Oh well, how long can she stay mad?

It's an Italian Viking and seriously, the fit and finish on this thing is excellent. I can't even feel the transition between the faux spigot and the stem or shank and a pipe cleaner goes through it very easily.
