About that - has a gorgeous Damascus steel band. The photo really doesn't do it justice.

24 oz of Lane 1Q - bottled and labelled. To be split three ways on the weekend. Great deal from Cup O'Joes at about $12 CAD a jar (4oz) landed.

[hammondc]

how do you cut those labels?

[nutcracker]

Avery 2" round labels, colour printer
The Avery website has templates and you pretty much drag and drop

Likely a copyright issue - but I'm a bit OCDC and like my stuff neat.....
Don't think the Lane people will be snooping around my cellar anytime soon....

[nutcracker]

Interesting pulls on the Peretti tobaccos. Interesting because I do not know that I have ever tried any of their blends in the last 30+ years.

(time lapse to do some investigating...)

Ahh, I see now why. MacBaren blends bite me like a rabid dog, not sure why, but there is not a blend of their I tried that did not. And as I looked at Tobacco Reviews, I saw a few there that would be up my alley, but there were a couple that said they have to be treated with kid gloves of they'll bite. I now remember visiting the shop in Boston while I lived in Connecticut. I think I was warned, so I just avoided - or I may have sampled one while there, and decided to avoid further attempts.

Tod - the English blends I've had from them are tasty and have been benign on the bite front. Don't know about the aros, other than Thanksgiving, which I was cautious with, but seemed fine.

Actually, even if Lane did see your labels, I am not sure they'd object. After all, you put them on their proprietary blend of tobacco, you are not using it to defraud, and if ever you pass it along, you are promoting them. Sounds like a win for them.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Tod - the English blends I've had from them are tasty and have been benign on the bite front. Don't know about the aros, other than Thanksgiving, which I was cautious with, but seemed fine.

It has been at least 17 years since I visited the shop, probably more, so I do not remember what blends I tried.

But there is another caveat, I have come a long way in my pipe smoking and so I have my general go-to blends, not really ranging much outside that.

This does not mean that I do not like to try new stuff, but I do not actively look for new things to try, that zeal has sort of left me (at least for right now). And even when I do try new things, I confine that to the "genres"/types of blends that I prefer, avoiding those things of which I am not a fan.

I avoid Burley blends, they NEVER did much for me. While I might try one, it takes serious twisting on the part of someone to get me to do so - usually involving a firearm and the side of my head.

Orientals also never really tripped my trigger much. I can tolerate a little in a blend that is predominantly something else, but...

I do have a couple of aromatics hanging around, but they usually only get dragged out when I want to please those around me. As I have gotten curmudgeonly, that happens less frequently. And, for me to have one, the top note has got to be done with a delicate hand, and I prefer to have it done to good Virginias to begin.

Lastly, there are what people have come to refer to as English blends, that is, blends with some measure of Latakia in them. I used to love these. I have a few around, but I rarely dip into them anymore, and they do not have the same appeal.

I love straight Virginia blends and VaPers (Virginia/Perique), they are almost solely what I smoke. I have tried literally, hundreds of such, and my cellar contains those which have pleased me the most. I like trying them, but then I end up comparing them to what I do have.

I smoke a pipe once or twice a week, if even that during some seasons. For this reason, 50g or 100g lasts quite a while. Having 4 or 5 things open is a lot wiser than 10-20 (yes, I did that for a long time, sometimes even more) if your consumption rate is like mine.

Wow, did this ramble on.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Went over to my local B&M this afternoon in Stevenson Ranch, and gave him a little support. A tin of Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture and a new Czech tool...

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/markinca1953/20161213_142245_zpst1qcsf6s.jpg

[RevSmoke]

Love Elizabethan Mixture.

[MarkinAZ]

Love Elizabethan Mixture.

I went over to the B&M originally to purchase an extra Czech tool (cuz you never know), and thought I'd peruse the shelving to see what tin's they may have in stock. I've seen many favorable reviews for this Dunhill blend, and when I saw they had a few in-stock, I decided to pick one up.

A number of the older reviews I've read were regarding the now defunct Murray's blend. The one I purchased is the newer blend from STG. So that will be my benchmark. Maybe Pipestuds web page will offer an old tin of the Murry's blend one of these fine days (as long as the price of the tin isn't too unreasonable that is).

I'll probably pop the lid fairly soon...

[RevSmoke]

I have gone through a couple tins of the news stuff, seems to be decent. I am sure I smoked the Murray's blend in the past, I mean I've been smoking the stuff for 30 years, and this is similar enough that I truly didn't know there was a difference.

Earlier this year (2016), a Rusticated Bent Brandy was being offered for sale on another site, and after it was passed-up on several posts, I decided to step-in and grab it:
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/markinca1953/20161215_100307_zps24bjuly9.jpg
I've enjoyed the Brandy so much so, that in September 2016, I thought it would be great to have a companion pipe for the Brandy (as it gets lonely), and asked piper Todd Harris if he would be so kind as to consider doing a rusticated bent Poker that would be somewhat similar to the Brandy. Todd said yes, and we corresponded back and forth, throwing diagrams and thoughts at each other, and immediately came to a meeting of the minds. Here's the finished Poker:

I love the rustication work, and his workmanship performed on his pipes. The Poker is 5 1/2 " in length and bowl height is 2 3/16". The Brandy is 5 1/2" in length and bowl height is 1 3/4". Both pipes have great draws and hold plenty of my favorite tobacco's. Here's both side by side:

We are heading down to my parents for the Christmas holiday, so I decided to buy myself a little travel pack:

2 pipe bag.

2oz Stokkebye English Luxury

MM Mark Twain Straight

MM Little Devil Acorn.


I say that'll do me for a week!

Have you tried it? Virginias & Perique sound good, but then they added Rum... So, I am very skeptical!

Not yet Rev, but they smell amazing. (They literally had my mouth watering) By all accounts one can't taste the rum. I will slice off a bit this weekend to try.

They are little bricks and remind me of the fire-starters they used to give us in the military. Might need a band saw.....;)

Have done different "plugs" from G&H, Samuel Gawith. Usually pretty strong, and needs a good sharp knife.

My uncle used to chew plug tobacco, and when he was done, he'd leave it sit on a fence post. A couple days later he'd check it out, and if dry enough stick it in his cob to smoke. He used to do Redman and Levi Garrett. It was too moist and too sweet to smoke right off, but after a morning or afternoon of vigorous chewing, he said, "It mellows out nice. And if it don't rain, it smokes pretty good after a couple days of sun drying."

I have always wanted to try that, but I just couldn't get past how sweet it was in the mouth. Used to chew my share of Redman, but never got the courage to put it in my pipe and smoke it.

Let me know what you think.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

[CoffeeWaterBeer]

great starting choices indeed! Please let us know if you have questions or want tips. If asked nicely we may even sing a song about perique.

[RevSmoke]

Picked up some G&H Cherry Cream Flake a couple weeks ago. And, as anybody here could probably tell you, I am not a fan of aromatics.

With that said, this is wonderful stuff. G&H does Virginias well, and this is a stellar example. Americans use a heavy hand in applying flavored goop (except for Cornell & Diehl) to make their aromatics, but G&H did this wonderfully. There is a hint of cherry and/or cream when nosing the pouch, ephemeral hints of them on the palate (mostly in the finish), and enough in the room note that non-smokers will be tantalized and not offended. (OK, the smoke nazis will be offended, but hey, that is their problem.)

Peace of the Lord be with you.

So I picked up a new radiator from Hekthor. Added a funky custom Nutcracker bowl, and we are ready to dim he lights and turn on the lava lamp!

Hekthor has a new stem - I do like it.

This is my latest. It is a BriarWorks Icarus Smooth Volcano. I love the lines on it. It reminds me of something Japanese. My oply complaint is the stem is a little loose, but a couple of rubs of Beeswax will take care of that!!! I look forward to christening it later on with some Carter Hall. I love using that to help break a pipe in.

I will agree though, I like the shape and the lines of that one, very nice. Looks also to be of a generous size.

A quick disclaimer, FOR MY OWN PERSONAL TASTES I am NOT a fan of silver/brass/gold on a pipe. I can look at them as such, but could not bring myself to own such.

It is 5 1/2" by 1 7/8". I smoked a bowl in the Icarus yesterday. Just some Carter Hall. I think someone recommended it to me once for breaking in pipes, I have been using it for that ever since. Though it is a good all around smoke. The pipe smokes nice and feels great in the mouth. Very happy with the purchase.

[Alpedhuez55]

Just to show how far off the wagon I have fallen, here is yesterday's mail....

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f385/Alpedhuez55/P1010295_edited_zpsnbaoo2mg.jpg

It is a Dagner Corn Cob Poker and a Dagner P6 Bulldog. The Cob is a neat little design. I think it is nice that Missouri Meerschaum is working with others on new designs. The distressed finish on the bulldog looks cool too. But I liked the Carbon Fiber band on it the most. I will try out the Bulldog later.

Nothing is expected in today's mail. It looks like the next couple of months could be rough ones. My custom meer order seems to be taking shape. There are a couple of other pipes I am looking at purchasing. I also may commission a custom Briar.

They do have different versions of the shape, most without the band. I just happened to get the one with it. I am not crazy about the band either, but it is not as bad in person. Plus the shape was what really grabbed me.

Grabbed this one from pipe maker Jim Brown, Heisenberg Pipes.

I met a lady that had a suitcase full of pipes. Her husband passed away years ago and she had been keeping them in a closet and wanted to find them a new home. It was overwhelming and I picked out all the ones I wanted. Ended up taking home 57 pipes, leather pipe pouch, and about 10 pipe stands and a few jars. Such a wide variety. I will post some pics as soon as I can upload some to photobucket since I can't attach here. May need some advice from nutcracker and a few of you other fellas. I need help identifying a few. They are relatively older pipes including a KAPP I've never seen before. Stay tuned for pics.

I have almost all of that but no buffing wheel. Trying to figure out how to get a couple stems back to black by hand. It isn't working. I have the entire Decatur set of cleaning stuff however using them isn't turning the stems back to black. Not sure if I need to use more and buff longer. Idk. I may start over with an Oxy bath on those stems. I'll post some pics from my PC later today.

[nutcracker]

Jake - buffing and polishing oxidation seems to drive it in or create a green haze. After than I can't seem to budge it.

Soak in oxyclean (30 mins or so) then sand. The oxy seems to bring it to the surface.
I use 220, 320, 400, 500 grit, then revert to micromesh pads once the funk is gone. I sand lengthwise down the stem as much as possible. Transverse scratches are hard to remove.

You can use an electric drill as a buffing wheel motor.

You are supposed to sand the stem while on the stummel so the ends don't round. Some insulation tape can protect if you are not removing the finish n the bowl anyway.

The pipe world is pulling me back in. Currently smoking a bowl of Hobbits Weed while winning an auction for a Wally Frank LTD bent bulldog estate pipe. Looking forward to cleaning it up and seeing how it smokes.

[mahtofire14]

My Wally Frank LTD estate came in yesterday. Has some scrapes and cosmetic ware but it seems very sound structurally. Have always wanted a bulldog as well. Seems like it may have been cleaned up a bit as well. No odor on the pipe. Looking forward to polishing it up a bit more and seeing how it smokes!

Couldn't pass up a clearance deal P&C had. 14.99 for a Mitchell Thomas pipe which was chosen randomly between six different models. Kind of fun not knowing what you were going to receive. Apparently these pipes go for around $50 regularly and have great reviews. I don't really care with the price being what it was. But if it smokes nice I'll be even more happy. Like the style I received also!

Thanks Mark. It is 5 1/2 inches long and the bowl is 1 7/8 tall. Smoked pretty smooth, and cooler than I expected, for as light as is it on the maiden smoke.

Some classics there.
Enjoy!

[Alpedhuez55]

Smoked the Markus. That was a sweet smoking little pipe. I really love my cobs. The only ones I have not tried yet are the Autumn Evening and Cask 11. Autumn Evening smells amazing and I have been looking for a Maple blend. The Cask 11 is dirt cheap and smells great in the bag. I think I will be trying a bowl tonight.

Basically what I am trying to is find several decent smokes in several categories that I can find in bulk as a go to for everyday smoking. Say a VaPer, a VA, English Balkan, Burley, and a couple of aromatics. Not to say I will not use tins from time to time...Tins just get expensive for every days smoking.

[DrDubzz]

We move recently from Alaska to Montana, the new town is very ok. There is one shop in this town that even pretends to sell decent tobacco and I finally checked them out today. Not terrible selection of bulk tobaccos that they repackage into 2, 8, 16oz bags. Lots of aros, some VAs, a little English. Anyway, no tins, but I did find this gem hiding at the bottom of the shelves, a little over priced but also 5 years old. So I said why not?
Apparently it was a special order that never got picked up

What's the story on the little duck head coming out of the stem? Looks cool

[jsnake]

What's the story on the little duck head coming out of the stem? Looks cooll'anatra means duck in french and it is their maker's mark. Not all of their pipes have the raised duck head. Some are stamped with it. I just like how different it is and had to have one. They aren't cheap either.

[WhiteMamba]

It looks pretty sweet to just have a duck head there looking you in the eye while you're smoking your pipe.

We have a Brass Armadillo Antique Mall in our small town. For the last 10 years we visit sporadically and in all that time I've never found any pipes to take home. My wife has found me a nice pipe rack with a German ceramic jar and a second German pipe jar. On occasion there have been pipes that were overpriced junk or just plain overpriced. One vendor always has a few but his prices are beyond insane. Yesterday for the first time I found not one but 3 pipes to take home and restore. A Ben Wade Danish Pride with a clear stem. A Savinelli and a GBD. All in fantastic shape. I feel like I stole them and I got 15% off on top of that.

You're grabbing some nice stuff! Good luck restoring these!Thanks buddy. Learning everyday and enjoying it. Another thing is I am learning what to look for. You know the Dunhill Shell Briar I have I completely overlooked when I went through the estate lot I bought from. Luckily I reconnected with the lady and was able to buy the rest. I couldn't believe I had missed that. Now I have two Dunhills. Today I snagged my 4th Denny Souers dirt cheap because I knew what it was when others skipped over it. I'll have more pics in a couple days. I have plenty to keep me busy for awhile.

Bingo! Great buy on a buffer - time to step up the output !

I think it will make things quicker but also a better quality. I try to do every pipe as if I was adding it to my collection. I ordered 3 buffs with 2 compounds and wax from The Beall Tool Co. I'm anxious to see the difference in my work.

Yesterday, while attending the Upstate Pipe Club meeting, I was able to get some NOS tins or Orlik Golden Sliced with at least several years of age in them as well as a tin of PS English Opulence. My B&M found an old shipment in their storeroom that dates back a while. I sampled a flake and decided to get three tins. I also sampled a bowl of the Opulence, it has been discontinued for a while. Lets just say some age can make a so so blend something special. Nice find!!

Not that I need any more pipes...but I snagged this Johs on Ebay for $46 shipped. That is about half off retail for a Johs. I am very happy with my other Johs, and think I got a great deal on this one. I am glad I upped my bid by a couple of bucks in the last minute, or I would have missed out.

I guess Johs pipes are kind of like Lay's Potato Chips for me...I just can't stop at one. This is waiting for me in my mailbox when In get home.

That is my third Johs. Sad thing is I may not be done. There are a few others I have my eye on. There is a good chance I will end up with a Sandblast pipe in the next week or two as well.

I did end up with another one. And it is a sweet smoker too!!!

Those are some fine looking pipes Michael

Great smokers too. Johs makes a nice pipe for the money. I grabbed them on Ebay for about $50 each. Highly reccomended.

[Alpedhuez55]

I need help, but it was only $45
