great looking pipe Troy

love the "golf ball" lattice

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

My first pipe landed here yesterday; a Meer by Fikri Baki.

Meer because it's forgiving and I'm new at it, plus little ghosting until the stable fills with alternatives. Watching you all, I know it will... ; ' ) I chose Baki because everyone seems to agree that they're good quality, so I don't expect any behavioral issues.

ST. GOTTHARD

Also grabbed a tin of McConnell's Scottish Flake (smokes nice), and something the fellow behind the counter liked (ok, Walnut, but its a decent enough blend from what I can tell at this point!).

Nice pipe Troy. Love Italian pipes. My local JR is having a pipe sale on February 20th (national pipe day) and they have a bunch of Mastro de Paja's that I will probably pickup.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Just ordered my first Boswell along with some Northwoods and Christmas Cookie! It's pretty similar to this pipe, but the color will be a little lighter and mine will have a yellowish stem.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I'm currently looking just about every day at a Cavicchi...hopefully someone buys it soon, so I don't get to :rolleyes:


Edit: Went to look at it today, and someone bought it...All right I can save some money for a little longer...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

That's a sweet looking pipe, Doug!

When you tire of it ....... :dr

You know where to find me!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Just received a nice sampler from pipeandcigars. Hoping my new pipe shows up today as well, but we'll see.

Sampler:
Rolando's Own
Virginia Spice
Marble Kake
Anniversary Kake
AJ's VaPer

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

So, here's my new Boswell. Unfortunately this is the best picture I could take, only have my phone... It's much lighter than it shows in the picture, have one bowl through it so far!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Well, forgot to take pics before I stash my recent order away ( speed was the name of the game, I flew this one under the radar from the oldlady...)

Peterson Bulldog Kapet (150)

For a shade under 50$...Smoked a few bowls in it so far and it's a good pipe. Actually planning on buying another from the series. I have a few with the silver band, and I honestly feel that the 25$ price difference may only be from the silver band.

Baccys-
Christmas Cheer 2009 x 2
Telegraph Hill 2oz
Union Square 2oz
Chelsea Morning 2oz
Escudo Navy Deluxe x2
Blackwoods Flake 50g
Matured Virginia No. 25
Also, snagged two cheap-o lighters and few packs of cleaners.

Couple new blends to try out, Telegraph Hill will be a revisit. Got another order inbound of some more cellar worthy tins and a couple lbs of bulk...:tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I have no idea why but I pulled the Trigger on a b30 St patty's day peterson and two tins today (McC VA #22 and GLP's Laurel Heights) ...Dont ask why...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Wow great pipe Frank... A Peterson that finally appeals to me....:tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

WOW!!! I just ordered the exact same pipe...birds of a feather I guess...:tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I have 4 Pete's this will be my 5th. A lot of people are really raving about the Danish style. I thought it was too good to pass up.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Got this old 12oz. tin, unopened, from ebay..
I hope the baccy inside isn't dried to dust? Im going to open it later today.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Did the boxer on the front have anything to do with this purchase? ;)

At least i THINK it's a boxer. ??

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

A little...:D
But I have read good reviews of this blend and I am hoping it still smokes good.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread

Still holding off on the latakia until the 23rd century I see.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I had a little financial windfall this month and went a little PAD happy...I think I bought five pipes since St. Patrick's Day, and I have a few more I want coming up on ebay...

Peterson Deluxe Classic 221 (bent billiard)
Peterson St. Patrick's Day 2010 B30
Stanwell Matte Brown Blowfish
Mario Grandi Freehand (sort of a partially rusticated blowfish)
Savinella Sigla (new smaller autograph line...hand-made bent billiard)

...and I've got a bid in on a vintage Kaywoodie that I hope to win...whew...I better slow down... pictures to follow...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

nice. a couple of Va/Pers... :banger

indeed... i see no point in it.
honestly, tonight i was going to have a bowl of something with a little latakia in it... i realized i don't have anything open, and i quickly looked in my cellar (closet shelf) and the only thing i saw was 1 tin of dunhill EMP.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Crack open that Chelsea Morning :tu

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

i picked it up, looked at the tin date, figured it needed more sleepy time. :tf

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

I say smoke it. You "might" end up with more to cellar.

This is my new Nording:

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

That is a sexy nording!!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Got this on ebay...never expected it to be as huge as it is...the main body of the pipe is about as large as a tennis ball, the chamber is so deep that if I stick my first finger in it it goes to the second knuckle and it's far too heavy to clench in your teeth...this is a hand-holder...and with that deep chamber will be great for flakes...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

VERY nice!! Looks like it'll be a nice long companion!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Marc, that's a beauty... Is that a Mario Grandi?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Very nice pipe indeed Marc. Inspiring me to buy another pipe. Not sure if that's good or not...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

:tpd:

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Another pipe? That's always good!

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

My first straight pipe and it's a Kaywoodie...all of my pipes are bents...generally I don't like straights...I was, however, perusing the ebay Kaywoodie listings and spotted this little number...octagon-shaped billiard...unsmoked too...the pipe is Kaywoodie shape number 44 “Octagon Apple”...it had the original $15.00 price sticker on the stem...the seller says he thinks the shape and price correspond to that of the 1968-69 Kaywoodie catalog...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Thats a nice looking pipe and a great find on ebay. I found an awesome savinelli pipe on ebay but it needs a lot of love. I do not know if the owner ever cleaned the cake off of this thing. Might be a loss but I am hoping I can bring her back to life.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

i'm sure it can be saved...
got a pic of it?

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Attachment 5857 This is the one from the bay. I will post a good pic this weekend. This is my 5th pipe I have tried to clean up so I am still new at the refurbishing thing. This one will be a good challenge. The outside does not seem too bad it is just the bowl and the mouth piece.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Grabbed a Dunhill Cumberland Poker on fleabay...I love cumberland stems and I've been looking for a Dunhill poker for a while...considering group 5 Dunhill Cumberlands and Dunhill Countys run around $450 new I think I did okay...

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

Just got in a 8oz tin of GLP Westminster and a 2oz tin of Quiet Nights, eager to give the Quiet Nights a try.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

You like westminster a lot it seems. Still have a tin myself begging to get cracked open.

Re: Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread
 

That dunhill is freaking awesome. Good job on it.
