Mark makes some sweet looking pipes, this one included.

Received my shipment from 4noggins today :tu
A 100 gram can of Frog Morton's Cellar and some softie bits and pipe cleaners.
Can't wait to try this as I've loved all the other Frogs :dr

[688sonarmen]

Darryl, are those the bits that fit on the end of a pipe?

I'm sure you'll enjoy. I love the Cellar. Not too bad of a room note either! I need to get some more McClelland's 5110! :-(

You would be correct Sir, I'm a clencher....

[688sonarmen]

My awesome wife got me this for valentines day, my 1st pear wood pipe and it looks like its going to be a great flake pipe with a deep and narrow chamber. The attention to detail is great, and I really like the funky anchor on it rather than a run of the mill "My 1st tattoo in the Navy anchor" lol!

Nice looking pipe Jake and what a great wife:tu

[Steve]

I didn't purchase it, but my dad picked me up a nice little vest pocket pipe somewhere in his travels

http://oldchurchbbq.com/sharedpictures/Cigars/2013-03-11_All%20Star%20Vest%20Pipe.jpg

It says All-Star Ancient Briar and has a number, but I have not been able to find out much about it yet. Took a little bit of work cleaning it up and had to remove a plug in the stem, but it smokes pretty well now.

I'm looking foward to being able to stick it in one of the pockets in my fishing vest while on the water soon.

^^^Thats a great looking pipe Steve. I was looking myself regarding All-Star Ancient Briar without success. Although, there appears to be a couple of hits on ebay for closed auctions. My thought was (if Moo doesn't chime in) that you could shoot an email w/a couple of photo attachments to Jim Boswell for a response.

Other than that, the pipe appears to be carved in the Oom Paul style from the looks of it. Looks like an enjoyable pipe for stream or lake:tu

Thanks Mark. Those were the only hits I could find as well. I would love to know a little more about it though...

50 gram tin of DT Blue Note. Wow this stuff smells just like fresh baked blueberry bread with some bourbon thrown in! If you're not a fan of aromatics, then I'd imagine this would be over the top for you.

A recent purchase from Dustin (BamBam) on the Wally Frank he had up for sale:

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/markinca1953/IMG_0091_zps5b3c271a.jpg

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/markinca1953/IMG_0093_zps121cc5d4.jpg

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/markinca1953/IMG_0095_zps4a3330c1.jpg

Length is a smidge over 5", bowl ht a little over 1.25", and inside bowl diameter 7/8" and gradually tapers downwards. Great draw. One inch shorter and we'd had a nose warmer going on here:D

[Islayphile]

Baccy tin haul:

Mac Barren Vintage Syrian
Squadron Leader
SG Full Virginia Flake
Peterson Irish Flake
Orlik Golden Sliced
G.L. Pease Westminster

[OnePyroTec]

Nice grabs, what are your thoughts on the MacB. Vintage Syrian?

The others I know well :tu

[Islayphile]

Thanks

The only baccy that I've had before out of that lot are the Squadron Leader and the Irish Flake.

It's only 38 degrees and windy, so my dreams of having a bowl today of something new were put on hold.

It was hard to pass on the Syrian since it was less than $14 for a 3.5oz tin

I'll let you know what I think once I've given it a go.

[BamBam]

First off I am blown away at the presentation and packaging of this purchase. After reading about the Boswells and seeing they are a family run business here in the USA I was hooked. I asked Jennifer over the phone for this pipe and some non aromatic Virgina to go along and they sent an extra ounce of Dan's bend plus pipe cleaners plus a pipe tool wrapped in pipe cleaners plus matches and a hand signed pouch for my pipe

http://i1126.photobucket.com/albums/l617/jakestich1/temporary-64.jpg
The Boswell is really beautiful and I do not own a camera that does it justice. The stem is not black like it looks in the pics but a very dark brown with light brown streaks running through it.

Wonderful work on that pipe, just beautiful.

The Boswell's are truly a class act. When the family and I went on a trip last spring to Gettysburg I was fortunate enough to stop at Boswell's shop on the way back. I got to speak with Dan and J.M. and I was treated better than I have ever been treated by a retailer. I bought two pipes and a good selection of his tobaccos. He gave my Daughters cigar boxes to hold there things as presents. J.M. is just a true gentleman, and I continue to call the shop and order "Boswell's Best" aromatic tobacco, it is now my favorite.

If you ever get the opportunity, stop in and meet this family, they are top notch.

Nice! Where did you receive those from Wayne?

[OnePyroTec]

Box came from P&C today...there was even a hat in there too. I had asked about this blend a few weeks ago and Russ made sure I got some. They should be available for sale on P&C's site real soon. Since I didn't make the show, I don't know if these are the retail cans or show cans...One thing is for sure, I'm popping one in a couple days. I'll be stuck in San Louis Obispo without coming home until close to Christmas if you get over that way and want to try some.

[MarkinAZ]

Thanks for the info Wayne. Would think it would be available soon on P&C. And thanks for the invite too. If work thinks to send me up your way, I'll shoot you a PM. Bring a jacket. It gets cool up in that neck of the woods...

[CoffeeWaterBeer]

:bhd
I should have asked, where does one procure said tin labeled Perique.
:lr

[RevSmoke]

I do not know where that one comes from but I believe that Cornell & Diehl sells straight Perique, and so does McClelland.

[CoffeeWaterBeer]

Thanks Todd. I'm kicking myself for being "that guy" and not looking for it myself. I know better. Going to grab some of the McClelland bulk when I buy a new pipe in a couple weeks.

[OnePyroTec]

The little jar of Perique came straight from the farm where it is grown/processed. The jar is from 1999 and I purchased it from Steve A.K.A. pipestud at pipestud.com

Deceptively large bowl, feels great in hand and smokes very cool

Picked up some crosseyed cricket and Elizabethan. Love the cricket but haven't cracked open elizabeth yet. Give me your take when you do. Didn't take long to get away from the burley I was gifted.

The Cricket is an interesting smoke, you either love it of hate - at least that's that way I see it.

I haven't had any in a while, but it was an interesting smoke. I was more into English blends when I got mine first tin. I had someone give me the rest of the tin because they didn't like the top note it was finished with. I smoked up the rest of that tin, and I've gone through another since then, but it has been a while, as I haven't been smoking either English blends or Aromatics lately.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

I like the cricket so far. I don't have enough experience to love it or hate it. It just IS for me currently. I see reviews that equate it to Hawaiian punch. I suppose some of the subtleties of pipe tobacco are lost on me. To date I've had: captain black about 10 years ago, pipe and cigars house burley cake and the cricket.

I loved the smell of the burley in the bag. In the pipe, not so much. I can't wait to try the Elizabethan

I'll probably post another query in the old farts thread soon. I'm still learning, but I can tell this is quite a different slope. No less steep, just different. :tu

And also with you.

[Islayphile]

Yeah, the 320 was the first to sell out on at least 2 different sites that I frequent.

I'm glad that I didn't hesitate, otherwise I'd be kicking myself square in the ass.

Keep looking, and if I happen to spy one, I'll let you know.

[CoffeeWaterBeer]

Take Mike's advice too, it does smoke like a freight train!

Not a big fan of burley either. Smells nice to me in the pouch, but not a fan of the taste. It is supposed to have nutty flavors and such, and is supposed to be what our ancestors on this continent smoked a ton of. OK, I personally do not like it. Virginias and VaPers (Virginia/Perique blends) are my favorites. I will still smoke an occasional Latakia blend, and an aromatic might make it into the rotation.

Oh, here is a biggie. I do not know if you have read or heard this before, but do not expect the volume of smoke that you get out of a cigar when you smoke your pipe. To get that much smoke, you will burn out pipes and fry your tongue.

The best way to explain the perfect burn is to sip pipe tobacco.

Another thing is that a pipe kept in the mouth will smoke better and stay burning longer than a pipe held in the hand, just the simple movement of air in the mouth helps the tobacco to smolder perfectly.

Thanks for the tips Rev. I've learned that an ash cap helps greatly, similar to how I like to smoke cigars...

The Virgina I smoked was sipped so slow it kept going out. Then when using your method of just keeping it in your mouth, it was much more productive... Thanks for all the info!


Peace of the Lord be with you.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

If you can find a place where there is a long time tobacconist who smokes a pipe, sitting with him and learning first hand will teach you tons. WHile you claim the difference was sipping -vs- sipping and keeping it in your mouth, it may have had to do with how you packed the different bowls too. Sipping is a learned art, it takes plenty of practice.

Keep trying new blends and practicing your technique.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

My journey into pipes begins with a few purchases. Grabbed a Savinelli Trevi 320 and cob pipe along with some Petersen Sunset Breeze, McClelland Holiday Spirt, and Mac Baren Plumcake.

That's a heavy duty tamper Darryl. How much does that sucker weigh?;)

[Islayphile]

Just picked up a bunch of English blends from an online buddy

14 oz of Boswells Northwoods
8 oz of Boswells Countryside

Some Squadron Leader, Jack Knife Ready rubbed, FMOTB and some Fox and Hound

Very nice pick-ups Jerry and Darryl:tu

:tu. can't wait to try them. I think the escudo will be cracked first. I was looking for dunhill de luxe navy rolls but jr didn't carry it. The Elizabethan set the hook on Va/pers. i can't wait to try a few more, though it will be a few months.

Luckily, (or not) I live between two large jr stores. Both have very knowledgeable staff and quite a good selection. Worst of all, they let me fondle a very affordable nording :dr

If you like the Escudo, then don't bother with the Dunhill de luxe Navy Rolls. Of course, you could. I have found that I cannot tell the difference between the two. But that is just me.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Made a quick stop at Pipes by George before work and picked up a tin of C&D Purple Cow and a restock tin of Frog Morton On The Town as well as a couple new cobs. Then I got to work and splurged, grabbed one of the Savinellis we had and a Xikar Pipeline. Twas a good day.

Can't beat the ol employee discount. The Purple Cow was good. I tried it in a brand new cob, so I'm gonna hold out on a final verdict till I smoke it in one of my broken in ones.

Purple Cow? Hints of grape with digested field grasses? Color me curious...

...just purchased a Peterson Dracula 999. Now I need to get it "fixed"....they didn't make this model blasted...and I only like the blasted look for the Dracula pipes.

[DaBear]

Did a little bit of early birthday shopping at Pipes by George today:

http://i.imgur.com/S6TYhON.png

http://i.imgur.com/XnpZ4u5.png

I originally had no plan of buying a pipe today, just was gonna stop in and look at some and pick up a new tin or two. As I'm looking George pulls this Nording down from the wall and hands it to me, and while I'm not normally a fan of a partially plateaux'd rim, I fell in love as the little bit of plateaux works perfectly as an index finger rest for my right hand. You know you have a (very good) problem when your local pipe shop owner can find the perfect pipe for you in just a couple tries. :r

[DaBear]

How is that Stave aged? Is it similar to frog Morton cellar?

Its good but very mild, little to no bite which is nice. Smells amazing in the tin thanks to the nice cubic inch of bourbon barrel they throw in there. I've only had a couple bowls of it so far, guess I'll have to light up another soon. And I haven't yet had the Frog Morton Cellar, I tend to stay away from anything with an added flavor, but I'm a sucker for bourbon and caved on the Stave Aged.

[DMK]

Nice pipe. Tinskys smoke very well.

No complaints thus far in the smoking department. I normally have a strong dislike of rusticated pipes, but this one was one of the few exceptions. I fell in love on first sight. The little bit of white acrylic or whatever it was he used takes the pipe from a good looking pipe to one of my favorites. Its funny how just the tiniest little things completely alter how we view things. Plus the bowl is nice and big which is perfect when you've got massive hands like me.

Funny how tastes are different too. I am not a big fan of accents on pipes - acrylic, bone, horn, silver, gold, anything. And while I like smooth pipes, I like rusticated better, and a crisp blast is my favorite.

The only one who needs to like your pipe, is you.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

My "Dracula" arrived. Finally found one with a stem swirl I liked in the shape I wanted. NOW, I just need to fix the pipe. Gotta make a slight modification to it. ;)

[Flynnster]

This order just came in today. Little samples of Mclelland VBC, Georgian Cream, and Three Cherries. Those were to try, the 3 ounces of anni kake are what I'm most excited about.

The pipe will be my second cob, first unfinished, and I must say I like it better than my other MM. The stem insert sits right at the bottom of the bowl instead of leaving a large gap like on my other cob.

[OnePyroTec]

Not just because I purchased the tobacco from him, PipeStud has good reviews at TobaccoReviews.com. He does not put the drama into a review, just his honest straight forward opinion. I read his review after I made the purchase...had I seen it sooner, I would have made the purchase sooner. ;)

I won't be making too many purchases this year tobacco wise because I come to realize I have a LOT of tobacco sitting here waiting to burn in small, slow, fires. I did however get a box with 10 blocks of Algerian Briar that were cut in the 50's. They feel a bit heavier than the blocks I have purchased in the past.

[stevieray]

Nice looking pipe. How does it smoke?

Smokes great Rev. Better than my Peterson and Savinelli pipes that's for sure. Pretty new to pipes so I can't exactly explain why though.

[DMK]

I'll send you some samples if you want some. I have 6 out of the current 7. NO Meat Pie...I gave that one away.

Arrived today. Thanks:tu
They smell delicious, can't wait for a nice day to sit outside & try them:dr

Last pipe for a while (I think) came in today. Scott Hudson rusticated poker.

New pipe from Boswell's arrived today. It's a rusticated shot-shell poker. I bought this sight unseen after Dan described it to me over the phone. I absolutely love this pipe.

I like those Hackerts up there too. When I used to make youtube videos about pipes, one of my friends on there was big on his pipes, would have been back in 08 or 09 :tu

Great find! I have some Murray's tinned EMP and it's really really good. I won't say better, but definitely different from the more recently done stuff

I am thoroughly enjoying pipe smoking. Hotreds sent me a pipe and some tobacco. I bought this and have another pipe on the way.

I will let you know :)

I really enjoyed Squadron Leader. That seems right up my alley.

Ok, so I have hit the pipe slope with a running start. My wife has been helping as well.

I just received a new T. Polinsky pipe I won on Ebay. I snagged some pictures from the auction.

I LOVE this pipe. I think it's beautiful. I also like the oversized feel as well. The pipe also doesn't get so hot. I smoked it last night for the first time. No complaints whatsoever.

Then, for fathers day, my wife bought me some tobacco, and a new pipe lighter. Here is a pic I found on the interwebs.

WOW that is BEAUTIFUL work. Someone beat me too it but I am glad to see what it could look like before I was to get it done anyway. I have a OLD Large Bulldog that I have been telling my wife now for the last 5 to 6 months that I am going to Sand Blast it and change the color. That pipe is Beautiful there. NICE work

James

[OnePyroTec]

I had sent the pipe to a pipe maker in Texas to blast. I DO make a pipe from time to time, but for what he charged compared to buying all the blasting equipment & learning how to do it, I was more than happy to pay for it to be done. I think it only cost me $20 then I had to re-stain it.

[Col. Kurtz]

Couldn't help myself.

Luxury twist flake, another 500g of Louisiana Flake, a pound of LNF, Beacon Extra that sounds tasty, and SP threw in a cube of gaslight.

That should get me to the playoffs. :tu

Smoking pipes in Little River. They've always had what I wanted in stock. P&c was out of stock on the Louisiana flake for a while. Best part is that I ordered Sunday and it was on my porch Tuesday. Apparently I live close enough for free overnight shipping :r

I don't smoke a pipe too often, but I do like them. Picked up this large Rhodesian on eBay. A Wozniak hand made. It's huge - 6cm diameter handful. Really nicely made and presented complete with sock.

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

[Subvet642]

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:

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/picture.php?albumid=542&pictureid=8574

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! :r

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:

BTW, great looking pipe Brian:tu

[ApexAZ]

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.

They were, but I've never had issues with it before. Oh well, it's public, now. :D

[ApexAZ]

I see them now. Nice looking pipe, and bag! I have a Chacom bent bulldog that I need to send to have some work done. There's an issue with the draft hole in the stem where it seems to step down in diameter. It makes it hard to run a cleaner through it. It's a nice pipe otherwise.

Ordered loads of tobaccos, Some will be here tomorrow, Then 6 more tins and a couple of Oz of a couple of tobaccos next week. So today I picked up 2 14oz cans of PA. Tobacco isn't safe with me.

I smoke anywhere from 8 to 10 bowls a day. It has been around for many years. I hadn't started smoking other blends until the last 6 or so years. before that it was only PA and CB white, every now and again I would smoke some Velvet and then a few times a month I would buy a few blends to try from Tobacco stores that they would have in Jars and you would buy by the Oz. How ever I moved away from all the cool B&M and started to buy offline. In bulk I have about 4lbs of tobacco and Tin Tobaccos I have just under 1lb. In the last couple of years I have started to buy and try other OTC to try.

Sorry got off topic anyway PA is a good straight tobacco.One that I and many others use to break in a pipe and one day I will find Carter Hall and start smoking that again... Fun days

Glad to know someone still smokes PA. Personally, I am not a fan. It is too bland for me.

Has anyone tried the Tsuge tankard pipes or their new Drew estate? Looks interesting.....

The top pipe is an Amazing smoking Pipe a Savinelli 622 KS. The second pipe is a Savinelli 626 Pocket pipe. It is a very nice smoking pipe so far with the tobaccos I have smoked in it.

Couple of impulse buys since I already had an order together on the devil's site.

The CAO smells amazing. Haven't cracked open the John Bull yet. For $3 each how bad can they be?

Don't discount the John Bull because of the price. It is actually pretty good IMHO. I smoke it over any of the D.E. tins at 4X's the price.

These came off of the *Bay late last week. Top to bottom: Charatan's Make Perfection 481oc; an unknown billiard and an unknown bulldog (purchased together):

The Charatan was cleaned and stored away about 20yrs ago. It will receive a proper cleaning and polish. The other two I had purchased to clean, ream, and give a good polish to, with hopes that they will have a better look thereafter to sell at a later date (maybe). I'll post some "after" pix when I've completed these tasks...

[WaRevo]

Nice looking pipes. Enjoy the restore. Sure they will be like new when your done. Can't wait to see the end results..

Yeah, nice pick-up!:tu

[Flynnster]

Really like that bulldog Mark! Can't wait to see the after pics, and kinda hope you do decide to sell it!

[Subvet642]

It's a sickness, really. I just can't stop buying pipes and stuff! :r Next to arrive at my door will be this sweet little prince from Capri. They're pretty nice for a maker of basket pipes.

I have today and tomorrow off so I'm gonna spend some time breaking in a couple of my other new ones with some Ashton Gold Rush. I've never smoked a straight Virginia before, but I'm looking forward to it.

[MarkinAZ]

We've known of your sickness for quite some time now Darren:D Nice looking pipe:tu

Thanks Mark! I find myself gravitating toward the "prince" shape. The small bowl size just suites me and it's easy to smoke it down to ash. Next on my list is a spigot or some kind of Army mount. Funny they're not called Navy mounts: it seems that Sailors can smoke and fight at the same time. :D

Nice pipe, Darren! Yours too, Mark. :tu

I've got a commissioned pipe on order and that will be my last pipe for a while, hopefully.

Oh, you must be psyched! What'sit gonna look like?

I am having an upcoming pipe artist here in Phoenix named Jerry Crawford make me a straight billiard with high contrast stain and a saddle stem. I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes out. I also plan to buy a Tom Eltang pipe sometime next year, but that's a ways off.

You can find some of Jerry's work at his website http://crawfordpipes.com.
