Latest Pipe-Related Purchase Thread

[DrDubzz]

I didn't realize we didn't have one of these.

Be it baccy or a new pipe, or some other pipe related item, post up what you got. Pictures never hurt either


I just placed a modest order from our friends at Pipesandcigars.com

picked up a half-priced 1lb bag of CAO Sweet Vanilla Honeydew

8oz of Anniversary Kake, 8oz of Butternut Burley, and 1 50g tin of Dan Blue Note

:pi can't wait for it to arrive

[Nick]

I am eyeing a Stanwell right now. My mind is telling me know but my body is telling me yes. UGGGHHHHH, maybe tomorrow I'll make a decision.

[DrDubzz]

oh just get it :p

I'm keeping my eye on the boswell site. I talked to them yesterday, and JM is making some pokers in the near future, and I've asked him to approximate one he made a while back. I hope makes, and I get it in time. I need a good poker shape, for not too much coin. His will cost around 100, which is doable, most artisan type pipes are just a bit too much for me to handle

[Spearl]

Waiting on a 4noggins bulk order: 8 oz Down by the River, 4 oz Covered Bridges, 4 oz Weybridge. Just received an order from RYOcigarette: 3 50g tins SG Golden Glow and a no-name Italian bent billiard.

[Professor Mike]

I recently picked up a couple of tins of Dan's DaVinci, a pound of a special blend from my local B&M(straight cavendish,black cavendish and burley cavendish). Ordered two tins of Irish Flake. Also picked up four ozs of bulk Blue Note,Devil's Holidayand Sweet HoneyDew.

My new Mastro de Paja billiard. She's a sweet smoker!! I have had a few bowls of Hearth & Home's AJ's VaPer in her so far. She might get dedicated to that blend.

My Feb. pipesandcigars.com order. http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p125/zarquonfrood/Tobac_FebOrder.jpg

[Nick]

Damn it RX you are not a very good influence on me. Ok I bit the bullet and will pay for it later but here is the little Stannie I bought. It just wouldn't leave me alone, it was haunting my dreams. And I picked up an 8 oz. tin of Pease Piccadilly. I'm planning on picking up a fairly big order of tobacco before SCHIP also.

It's stubby at less than 5 inches long.

I love the 191 shape in the Stanwell line too. It'll probably be my next pipe, somewhere down the line. Either that or a Boswell...or me knowing myself, I'll probably get both...

[DrDubzz]

1 each of the following:

Rotary: Luxury Navy Cut 50g
Troost: Special Cavendish 50g (1.75 oz)
A & C Petersen: Escudo Navy Deluxe 50g
McClelland: Royal Cajun Special 50g
McClelland: Beacon 50g
Orlik: Golden Sliced 50g

Only had the escudo before, should be fun to try them all :tu

[Big D KC]

Cool lookin stubby Nick! Haven't ever seen that one before! Do me a favor and be sure to take some pics that show proportions for me when it comes in!!

As for my purchases as of late I had to cut it off after the large bulk order. I got quite a few pipes in rotation now, and a nice stock of tobacco. Plus I find myself coming to a nice balance with pipes and cigars now that the newness has worn of off the pipe slope! Which is nice, I like haveing the choice and variety! Yardwork and working in the garage tends to lend itself more to smoking a big ol stogie for me..

[Nick]

I will definitely post some picks of it in my hand. It's a Stanwell Majestic 191. I think I will really like it, I found myself going back to it and day after day a few times a day; it wouldn't leave me alone!!!!!!

[DrDubzz]

Began my pipe journey today. Ordered 3 cobs; tins of Escudo, FVF, and Westminster (planning on picking up some CH and AP locally); plus some accessories. :pi

My want list was much longer, but I figured this was enough to determine if the pipe is a right fit for me...

Welcome! You picked some VERY good tobaccys for a first timer. While you are judging if it is for you, have patience while you figure out how to light and sip from the pipe.

Even though it is an English, I would recommend starting out trying the Westminster out of those three as FVF is in flake form and the Escudo is in sliced disks, they are a little harder to figure out how to fill the pipe with for someone starting out.

[TheJ]

Picked up a Paronelli pipe at Tinderbox this past week along with some CA100, Navy Flake, Midnight, and Philosopher.

Also picked up tins of EMP, 965, and Balkan Sasieni at another B&M

I did some sniffing around the jars at Habana today and it made me wish I had a my pipe today. I think one of the first ones I try is going to be the Irish Cream and the Vanilla they have.

[rharris]

Ryan,you really should also try the trout stream! Its good stuff.

[MedicCook]

They have that there also. I did not take a sniff of it though. I was getting over loaded as it was. One nice thing about Habana is that there is no short supply of pipe tobacco. I think I will really enjoy it once I get started. I have been scoping out pipes there the last two weeks.

I've not had it before, but it sounded quite good, and I'm a fan of aromatics, so I figured, why not?

Looks like maybe nickel to me.




I've had PAD kicking in pretty bad lately, so I went and bought another pipe, of course with some tobacco...

This time I picked up a Winslow:
http://www.marscigars.com/ProductImages/winslow200108.jpg

I've always liked the stain he uses and how it brings the grain of the pipes out. Also, I didn't have any Danish pipes...so I threw it in the basket.

The tobaccos I picked up with it, since you can't just get the pipe without some tobacco...of course, was Rattray's Marlin Flake, GL Pease's Union Square and Chelsea Morning. I'm good for the rest of the year. Next pipe order this year is going towards Secret Santa...that's it, I'm done otherwise...

[BigFrank]

No one is ever done!!!! (evil laugh)

lol nice pickups bro.

[gvarsity]

well, I haven't technically purchased it yet, but here is the poker that J.M. Boswell just finished for me

Beautiful grain. I really like the look of that pipe.

[yachties23]

[msilbernagel]

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 (http://bestmeerschaums.homestead.com/bakistgotthard.html)

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!).

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!

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.

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

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...

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 stopped by Holts again today. The same guy that helped me out on Saturday was there again, very knowledgeable guy. I said I was looking for something a little more flavorful but non-aromatic so he recommened the GL Pease Union Sqaure.

http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/ii261/8652150149/IMAG0104.jpg

I smoked a bowl of it tonight, pretty good.


I also rolled the dice on an "ebay" pipe (around $8 shipped). It came today and looked even better in person. I spent some time tonight cleaning it up, salt + vodka treatment in the bowl, and used a stem cleaner and briar polish that the guy at Holt's suggested. I think it looks pretty good. It's extremely light, hopefully tomorrow I'll get to see how it smokes.

I just got in the mail this vintage Wally Frank. Now this is what I call A Man's Pipe. The pot shaped bowl on this thing is huge. I can fit my gorilla thumb down inside the bowl, just past the knuckle, and there is even room to wiggle it around in there. For having a rounded bottom this thing sits like a champ, you can even set it down at a 45* angle and it still uprights it's self.

That's a big honking pot pipe you have there CQ. Appears to be your "all-day" pipe. The Peterson Silver Spigot is a nice looker Grant.

I just won the following on *Bay this afternoon. I'll post some real photo's of it upon arrival:
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/markinca1953/VintageKaywoodie.jpg

Its a vintage Kaywoodie Oversize from the 40's - 50's. Measures approximately 6.125"L x 2.25"H with a 7/8" bore. The rim measures 1 5/8” across and 1 7/8’ front to back. Looking forward to its arrival now:D

I saw some of that tobacco at a B&M the other day. Never heard of it (which doesn't mean anything), it was just the first time ever noticing this brand...

[Commander Quan]

The Sutliff blends is actually blended by Altidas, which would normally make me turn and run, but they are supposed to be matches of classic blends from House of Windsor. I have a tin of Maple Street that I picked up at my local B&M, I don't know how it compares to Mapleton, but it is a good smoke in it's own right.

[Emjaysmash]

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.

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!

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:D

[Commander Quan]

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.

Thanks I've been traveling a lot more on recently, and I never want to take 2 or 3 pipes with me so being able to smoke multiple bowls and blends out of one pipe was a major advantage. I'm going to Punta Cana for a week in September, and this will be the one pipe I take along with my 10-15 cigars. :D

Nice looking pipes there M'Mo'. Had my eye on a few pokers lately. Nice wins indeed.

Thats a couple of nice looking pokers Dan. Great pick-up and thick looking walls on the bowl of the lower poker:tu

[BigFrank]

picked up a Peterson Rocky Donegal 268 and a tin of GL Pease's Blackpoint...So much for a budget....

Just picked up a new Ardor, fresh from New Orleans:

Can anyone point me to what shape this might be?

[SaltyMcGee]

Not sure what shape it is but that's a SWEET pipe! :pi

Been waiting for the right one to show up for a couple of years. Not sure what possessed me to get the thin-walled ultra-light old-style Pete army mount barrel, the one with a history of cracking or burning out, but they've always called my name - just never got lined up with the right one at the right price at the right time. Bingo, Ebay! For only a few bucks more than a new, unappealing, discounted non-army version - poof - it's here. Unsmoked and fishtail, not Pfui-Lip, bit; one tiny ounce...

Perfect with MacBarens Navy Flake. I am liking this little guy for sipping a sweet 30-min+ smoke.

[Slow Triathlete]

Snagged this ST Dupont Zulu off of smokingpipes last week.

Apparently it was part of Aaron Spelling's estate (creepy looking guy who produced Dynasty, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place and TJ Hooker).

Smoked a bowl of Black Parrot in there last night and it was sweet.

[Commander Quan]

Nice pickup Scott, but I have to ask. Why didn't you spring for the rest of the estate?

Hopefully, you have a back-up pipe Dan if the above occurs;):D

Nice purchase BTW...

[thebayratt]

Just starting the Pipe thing so I got a inexpensive pipe for $13 (wholesale cost).
Im not too sure what it is or who makes it. The only markings on it are ""Made in Greece", so its probly an elcheapo. But thats what I was looking for. I didn't and couldn't spend a whole lot of money right off the bat.

Any help on this would be appreciateve.

My first meerschaum finally arrived in the mail from Turkey. An IMP XXL. This thing even dwarfs my Savinelli Hercules.

Nice!! Beautiful Meerschaum!

That University Flake aint bad at all, either!

Thank you everyone for the compliments... Its my first ardor, and I am loving it. The guy who runs my local Tinderbox picked it up while in New Orleans at the trade show, and I fell in love..

[MrPlatypus]

My second pipe is just a simple cheap little corn cob, but it's going to survive a lot longer than the last little pipe I had (it only survived two weeks til it got broke.) I'm thinking of getting a churchwarden made, and if I do, I'll post up pictures up when I get it.

Very nice! Ardor is a pipe brand I'm interested in trying out.

[Yardgnome]

So I stopped by a B&M I had heard about and noticed they had a lot of pipes and decided to give one a try.

This was the tobacco that they recommended:
Barrister – We’ve improved the traditional English blend! You’ll still get the natural “woodsy” taste of Latakia, but not its unpopular aroma thanks to just a touch of the perfect aromatic flavoring. This is a perfect fusion blend or the smoker on the fence between aromatic and non-aromatic blends.

Where ya live at Tom? I stop in to Fader's at least once a month. I'm down in Dundalk.

[Emjaysmash]

Is it me or do other get excited for people when the purchase new pipes, or get thier first pipe and pipe tobacco?


I just really love this hobby!!

[Mister Moo]

I'm in Odenton, I went to the Catonsville shop.

1 Tin Old Dog
1 Tin Portrait (local B&M blend)

and 4 1oz Samplers of other store blends

[BigFrank]

Nice pickup there. I usually hit the Fader's in Towson up. They got a HUGE setup for pipes up there. If ya can manage the drive up there its worth it.

[Yardgnome]

I'll have to check out Towson, Catonsville had more pipe stuff than I had ever seen in a B&M before, only downside is they don't have a lounge its just hanging out around the shop smoking. Today I was at there Annapolis store and wasn't really impressed. I also went by Davidus to grad Cigars and picked up there house blend(Portrait) I'm about to smoke some of it right now.

[BigFrank]

Their smoking lounge is very nice there. I'm off on Fridays. Let me know if ya wanna meet up. I'd be game for heading over the Catonsville and checking out what they have.

[BigFrank]

Just got a package in the mail today.
2 tins Mac Baren's Dark Twist Roll Cake
1 tin of Mac Baren's Roll Cake
1- 100g tin of McClellands' Blackwoods Flake.

Found a good place to pick up cheap baccy!

[Yardgnome]

Next Friday(10th) would work for me, just let me know what time I have the day off.

It's a tobacco shop run out of a liquor store down in Kentucky. Good prices. Think I may order a pound of 2015, he's got a good price break on them right now. Just give the guy Byron a call. Selection isn't as great as other places but....

Nice looking pipe there Tom. Nice thing about Meers is they do not ghost.

Wonderful! Well, hopefully all the different aromatics I'm trying while breaking in my new pipes won't totally futz up my learning curve about what I like and don't!
