I really like that Canadian. I think that either that or a churchwarden will be the next one I add to the herd.

I stopped by Holt's on the way home from work today. They are very knowledgeable about pipes and pipe tobacco there. I told the clerk that I like a full body pipe tobacco, nothing to fruity so he recommended a couple English blends for me. I wanted to try something from Ashton, the other is a Holt's house blend.

I really kludged opening the tin (wine bottle opener).

First timer here.

A couple Stanwell bowls from ebay.

After a trip to Dave Wolf at Walker Briar Works for new stems.

nice dunhill, been thinking of picking one up. Same year as my birth year.

I have one of the big "blend No. 5". Its a simple straight forward English Oriental that isn't bad at all. I had a pouch of "Great Outdoors" that I smoked a bowl from before gifting it away. All I can remember about that blend was it smelled like Root Beer.

BigFrank · 07-05-2010, 07:36 PM

Picked up a few tins. Orlik Golden Sliced x2 and Balkan Sasieni x2. Since the budget has been rough I also added 3 bulk blends to give a shot. Bayou Morning, Star of the East, and Epiphany. All 3 from C&D Hoping they are good and I can pick up some bulk tobacco. At ~26 a pound I need to venture onto this route. Been smoking mucho tins!

Sweet looking pipe!

JaKaacH · 07-20-2010, 11:13 AM

Picked up at a yard sale Saturday, .75 cents..

As found: A Mastercraft- Standard- Made in England

After a little clean up and a coat of carnauba wax.

The draw on it is a little restrictive, and stinger won't come out, so I'm thinking of cutting it off and then drilling it out of the stem...?

Nice looking pipe Jeff and a great find too. The bowl looks like it can hold a load of your favorite tobaccy. Don't know much about your remodel question as you may want to post that in the "Ask an old fart a question" thread

Commander Quan · 07-21-2010, 08:50 AM

Mastercraft was the company that at one time owned Dr. Grabow. If that pipe is like the other Grabows the stinger should just pull out, but sometimes those old pipes get very stiff after all the years. If you don't care about the stinger grab it with a pair of pliers and twist while pulling out. If you think you may want to save it wrap it with a old towel or rag before using the pliers.

First eBay pipe!

It's a Kaywoodie Magnum. Looking forward to trying it!

MarkinAZ · 07-21-2010, 07:41 PM

Very nice Jared...

BigFrank · 07-30-2010, 02:03 PM

Hit up the local B&M today. Picked up 4 new blends to try and 8 ounces of Balkan Sasieni in bulk!
4 new blends
PS Bullseye Flake
PS Luxury Twise Flake
Shop blend 14k
Shop blend unique

Was very temped to pick up some Penzance in bulk. They had 12 ounces but at 6 bucks an ounce I turned it down...

Pulled the trigger on an IMP Meerschaum a couple days ago. This will be my first one.

Total Lenght : 5.8"- 149 mm

Bowl Height : 2.3" - 59 mm

Chamber Diameter : 0.9" - 23 mm

Chamber Depth : 1.8" - 46 mm

SIZED XXLARGE!!

JaKaacH · 07-30-2010, 03:49 PM

That IMP Meer looks good

, let us know how it smokes and your opinion of a Meer in general.

DropTheE · 07-30-2010, 04:36 PM

That IMP is beautiful, I am really wanting to get a meer pretty soon. I have really started enjoying my pipes so much, still trying to figure out what I like most in tobaccos, there is so much to choose from!!

Great pipe!! Awesome pickup, I hope you get years of enjoyment out of it!!
