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!

Neil and Brian, really great looking pipes

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.

BTW, nice pipes, I like the faux horn (so it looks) stem.

Rob, I am geographically centered between two JR Cigar outlets. Unfortunate for my credit card. JR has proven to be my most dependable B&M for HTF cigars and pipe goodies. Both carry quite a unique selection now; much different than years back. They have most Padron, Illusione, Tats, LP, Fuente, etc. Every so often they get in JFGermain tobaccos too. I'm not sure if they inventory that stuff on their website as I don't ever check it.

The one in Selma has a few tins of Balkan Sobranie and one Margate left as of last week. The bulk bags of Esoterica went pretty quick though. The manager there told me they got in three bags. I bought the last one. If I see more I intend on picking them up and offering them here. Burlington was cleaned out of everything but Margate, though they advertised Stonhaven and Penzance on their in-store marquee...

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.

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!

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

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.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whaddya mean "older subs"? The Kamehameha was a friggin' show boat in her day. When she was built, Hawaii gave the Navy a bunch of money for crew habitability and she was filled with chrome and teak wood. Besides, I don't have a garage.

Look at Her! Two Battle "E"s and two MUC's, Bad Ass!
