2009 Pipe Order Thread

[DrDubzz]

Alright guys, here's what needs to be done.

J.M. has signed off on the shape and all that, it's going to be the same general color theme as the one pictured for smooth pipes, obviously rusticated will be black.

Ok, everyone needs to call the Boswells (717-264-1711) with credit card, address, and preference on smooth or rusticated.

They'll be shipped out in the order your information is received. Also, go to their website first ( www.boswellpipes.com ) and pick out a tobacco for your 1oz sample. Every pipe will come with a sleeve, 1oz baccy sample, czech tool, and cleaners. Pipes will be no less than $100 and no more than $120 with smooth costing more (so this fits our original price range). Once 5-6 are done they will ship out in batches.

Also, you will probably be able to get a pipe quicker if you don't mind a mix of smooth and rusticated. However if you absolutely only want smooth, that's ok, but it may take longer. Just keep that in mind. So if you put smooth on the sign up, it's ok to ask for rusticated, but just tell them.

You can say, I want smooth first, but rusticated is ok too, or vice versa, or tell them smooth only, I'm willing to wait. Feel me?

So start calling tomorrow, he's already made a couple, and post up here once you've called so I can keep track of things and comunicate with them about the goings on. I would like this to go as smoothly as possible as it is both a reflection on our forum and on me, and I would like to keep my amicable relationship with them.

Please call them up ASAP and talk to Dan or J.M. with your info. Tell them it's for the Asylum 1 ed pipe.

Thanks guys :wo

[GreekGodX]

Thanks Tim for putting this all together for us :tu I will try to get a call out to them by the end of the week

[SSatVT]

Thanks for all the work and organizing Tim.:tu:tu

I will try to give them a call tomorrow and post once I do.:wo

[kzm007]

I am currently unable to make any calls as the telephone company is repairing some nearby lines. I have emailed the Boswells however, to see if I can mail in my information and pipe request.

Thanks for all of this :)

[CHRONO14]

Awesome just saw this today. I'll give them a call tomorrow to put the order in for both. Thanks again for setting this up.

[CHRONO14]

Just put in my order for one of each. Can't wait to check these out.

[yellowgoat]

How long is the window here? I need a few days as my car is in the shop and needs the money first. LOL.

[fissure]

Ordered my smooth one today:tu

[Dukeuni]

I just placed my order. I have never spoken to J.M. before, and I can let you guys know that he is a great guy, and very helpful. I was honest with him, and told him that I had never smoked a pipe before but just could not let this club edition pipe go without buying one. He said to look at his site for some smoking information, and then after I smoke the pipe a few times to give him a call and they will answer any and all questions or concerns I have. I think going through Boswells was a great idea. I cant wait!

[DrDubzz]

How long is the window here? I need a few days as my car is in the shop and needs the money first. LOL.

well, the sooner the better of course, but I think if you need a few days to a week that's ok.

[Requiem]

I will call monday, June 1st.

Thanks for all your work Tim. ;)

[Savvy]

Tried to call in today, got a busy signal. Will try again tomorrow after work.

[imthegoal]

I will call on the first as well.

[WWhermit]

Will call tomorrow morning.

Many thanks Tim!

WWhermit
:pi

[yellowgoat]

well, the sooner the better of course, but I think if you need a few days to a week that's ok.

Thank goodness! I just had to drop 700 on my car today so that blow more then my budget for anything!

I'll be calling J.M at the most in three days.


Thanks.

[Nabinger16]

I just saw this thread. I'll call first thing in the morning.

[DrDubzz]

thanks for the speedy responses guys, I hope the pipes are to everyone's liking

[WWhermit]

Just placed my order this morning with Dan.

I picked Sweet Tea for my free 1 oz of tobacco. Haven't tried that one yet, so we'll see.

WWhermit
:pi

[Nabinger16]

I placed an order for both pipes earlier this morning also. I tried some sweat tea and some of the premium burley.

[Savvy]

Got a hold of them today.

Order placed, I went the easy route and said either smooth or rusticated was fine, so I'll most likely be getting a rusticated haha.




Thanks Tim for setting this up, really appreciate all the work you've done for it.

[DrDubzz]

thanks for the kind words guys, and for being patient. I would have liked to have had this rolling along a while back, but unfortunately life would rather keep me busy.


Anyway, I'm glad we're at this point, and I can't wait to see the finished products

[kzm007]

Good things come to those who wait, my friend :tu I've just gotten ahold of Dan Boswell who is being kind enough to allow me to mail in the information.

Thanks again for being such a big part of this :)

[SSatVT]

I finally got a chance to get in touch with them just a few minutes ago:wo. I will be mailing them a check on Monday.

Thanks for all the leg work Tim!:tu

[dbreazeale]

Made the call this afternoon. i'm on the rotation!

[Requiem]

Made the call. :dr

[DrDubzz]

so that's 13 ordered so far, which is good. I figure probably 3-5 more will end up being ordered.

Thanks for being prompt guys, it ought to be fun to see when and where these arrive.

Be sure to post up pictures when you get em. They'll all be a little different (just like us lol) so lets show em off.

[kzm007]

I'm getting my info mailed out today; got caught up in some paperwork 'n such.

[imthegoal]

Just got off the phone with them. I ordered my mix smooth and rusticated and got the Sweet Tea as my sample. Also ordered 2 ounces each of the Chocolate Cram and Christmas Cookie tobaccos.

[kzm007]

My info was mailed in today. Ordered a rusticated, surprisingly, and a Peaches and Cream sample because I unfortunately forgot what I wanted to begin with :rolleyes: I was so mad at myself lol.

And now we wait :ss I've got a new Punch cigar-box guitar to bang around on while I do so at least :) tobacco is amazing :D

[JaKaacH]

Got a hold of the Boswell shop today, ordered the smooth/rusticated finish.
Going to try the No Bite Delite sample:wo Also got a few oz. of the Christmas Cookie.

[DrDubzz]

Keep up the good work guys

I wonder when the first batch will go out

[kzm007]

Just wanted to add, that last part is funny if you read my signature right below it - these things never work out for me *sigh*

And Tim, I just wanted to say again how much I appreciate you setting this up; there's no greater joy in pipe smoking than smoking your first 'real' pipe, initials and all. It's great to see that the glory days of CS are able to thrive and flourish here on CA, with the camaraderie and friendships that I've been shown in the tobacco community.


Hats off to you, sir! :tu

[imthegoal]

Anyone got any word on if their pipe has been started yet? My CC hasnt even been charged yet.

[JaKaacH]

I just got a call from Boswell's shop telling my pipe was going to be shipped today...Should have it Friday..:dance::wo

[SSatVT]

I just got a call from Boswell's shop telling my pipe was going to be shipped today...Should have it Friday..

:tpd: I got the same call a few minutes ago, but I should be getting mine no later than Thursday.:banger:wo:dance:

[Requiem]

I just got a call from Boswell's shop telling my pipe was going to be shipped today...Should have it Friday..:dance::wo

Great!
Show us some photos of it asap.

[DrDubzz]

Well I also receieved a call from Dan Boswell this morning about my pipe. They are shipping it out today so I should have it friday or monday.

But I wanted to say a BIG thank you to all of you guys for taking up a collection for my pipe (and to the Boswell's for capping it off) and making my pipe FREE!

You guys are the best, and I really really appreciate it. Not only for the thought and gesture, but also because I wasn't quite sure I could afford it right now. So it was also a blessing to hear him say that it was taken care of.

Thank you all so much, I cannot truly express my gratitude, but I will never forget your generousity, and will always enjoy smoking this pipe so much more. Thanks again!

[fissure]

It's the least we could do for you putting this all together:tu Can't wait to get mine. By thursday at the latest:dance:

[Dukeuni]

As was said by Fissure, you deserve it for all the hard work you did putting this together. Just wish I could have thrown in some of that Northwoods for you to smoke also!

[Requiem]

I take the words above as if my own.

You did an excellent job on this matter and all us folks involved are more than happy in expressing our gratitude to you this way.

[kzm007]

:tpd:

you da man! You deserve it!

[CHRONO14]

Tim thanks again for setting this up, glad we could help out and hope you enjoy the pipe.

[SSatVT]

She has arrived!!!

I love how mine turned out. A nice, dark and rich color. The smooth parts have a mute grain definition and it goes wonderfully with the rusticated sections. When I talked to Dan originally I told him to just do with it what they wanted, that I just wanted some smooth.

Anyway, ON TO THE PICTURES!

Now if it would only stop raining long enough for me to sit outside and enjoy a bowl in it...

[dbreazeale]

Oooooooohhhh....that's nice! :tu

[Requiem]

Nice!
I like the shape, the way the rim is cut, and love those thick walls... The partial rustication is cool, too.
I'm just not crazy about the stem, but I bet it will smoke like a champ.

Oh, boy, this is exciting... how much did it cost, Seth?

[Dukeuni]

How did your pipe ship? UPS, Fed-Ex, or USPS? I live out in Oregon, so if it was sent UPS or Fed-Ex I may have to wait awhile, but if it was USPS then hopefully I can get it tomorrow or Monday. Also, does anyone know if on a "smooth" option of this pipe, the top of the bowl will still be rustic like the one posted? I love the top part being rustic, but was hoping the rest would be smooth on my pipe.

Also, I love the shape of the pipe, and the flat bottom for easy resting.

I kind of like that stem, mostly because it isn't the most popular choice out there.
If I remember correctly he charged me $118 for it, but I don't have my check book handy and they still haven't cashed my check.

It came to me via UPS, and I think they ship everything that way. For me though, UPS is faster for packages coming from outside of Virginia, but USPS is faster in-state.

It is supposed to be sunny (and hot) tomorrow, so hopefully I will get a chance to start breaking her in.:dance:

[DrDubzz]

that looks great, I'll be curious to see how everyone's turns out

[Dukeuni]

I wish I had a tracking number, would love to know where my pipe is at. Getting that pipe today would be GREAT!

[Nabinger16]

I talked with JM yesterday... I should have both of mine on Wednesday!!

(where's that dancing chicken when you need it)

[DrDubzz]

I wish I had a tracking number, would love to know where my pipe is at. Getting that pipe today would be GREAT!

ditto, I'll be out of town all next week, as will my wife, I don't want it to sit on my doorstep all week

[fissure]

Got mine yesterday:D Smooth with rusticated bowl:tu

Nice grain.

[JaKaacH]

Great looking pipe.
The UPS truck came rolling down the street yesterday....But he didn't stop..:(
Hope he stops Monday...

[CHRONO14]

Curses left the house for half an hour and missed the UPS guy. Going to have to wait till tomorrow. On a side note 94 degree weather sucks.

[JaKaacH]

My Boswell CA pipe was delivered today....:dance:

I like how 2/3 of the rim is natural plateau burl texture and the rest is smooth.
That Christmas Cookie blend smells great...:dr

[dbreazeale]

So far the pipes look great! I can't wait to get the call. :banger

:tu

[Dukeuni]

Just a quick note to say that i received my pipe today. I plan to post pics tomorrow or the next day.

My pipe was "all smooth". I guess the only change I would make is to have a rusticated bowl like JaKaacH. Overall I love the pipe, and that would be the only small change I would make. The size is larger then I thought from the pictures (which makes me happy since my old pioneer pipe is too small).

Just some info for other members:
Pipe Cost: $99
Shipping: $11

Also picked-up 4 ounces of Northwoods, on top of my free sample of Christmas Cookie, for $14.

[Nabinger16]

My twins arrived today!!!! I absolutely love both of them. I snapped a few pics that I'll post later tonight. I'm smoking some Sweet Tea in the rusticated one right now. Boswell pipes definitely smoke like a champ!!!

[Dukeuni]

And without further delay:

My J.M. Boswell Cigar Asylum 1 Ed. pipe


The entire package, including extra 4 oz. of Northwoods:

[Savvy]

Just bumped myself further down the list. I saw my bank statement today and called to make sure that either a) they billed me, or b) they let me wait until the 1st haha. I got hit with a couple bills, and a night at a bar and restaurant with some friends, and well...it's a good thing I gave them a call today.

So a free bump to those of you who were below me, I was next in line, so I caught it right in time haha.

[JaKaacH]

I didn't notice how dark my first pictures of my CA Boswell turned out. Here are couple more that I hope show better.

[Nabinger16]

Did anyone else have their initials put on the pipe? When we were talking about what insignia was going to be on them, our individual initials were part of it. Both of mine have mine on them.

No initials on mine..Thats OK, no problem with that, I like it just the way it is..:tu

[Dukeuni]

No initials on mine either. I think it would have been nice for initials, but oh well, still love the pipe and I may go and have my initials put on the pipe later. Heck, I could send it back to J.M. or Dan later.

[CHRONO14]

Just got mine in today. Beautiful pipes. I love how they're all different so far. No initials on mine either. I'll get pics up later.

[Nabinger16]

Here's a few pics of the twins. My photography skills aren't the greatest but here they are. I couldn't be happier how they turned out. I haven't smoked the smooth one yet, but the rusticated one is turning out to be one hell of a smoker.

Those are some beautiful pipes. I am a little late to the game, but I just left a message with JM, so hopefully I can still get in on this kick ass deal.

[rlaliberty]

Really wish i got in on this after seeing these pipes!

[JaKaacH]

Really wish i got in on this after seeing these pipes!

Just a guess here, but it might not be too late. Give the Boswell shop a call and see if you can get one.

[DrDubzz]

Well I just got back from diabetes camp today (I was a counselor as a part of my schooling, lots of fun, very exhausting and stressful) and came home to my CA pipe.

This thing is big, 6.75 long with a pretty hefty bowl, I'm very pleased with how it turned out.

(I suck at photographing pipes btw)

[dbreazeale]

Just spoke with Dan Boswell on the phone. My pipe ships out tomorrow and should be here by Friday! :dance:

[Requiem]

Received a mail from Dan.
My pipe will also be shiped tomorrow, to my in-laws.

August 1rd I'll arrive to the US, and expect to light the pipe on that same night. :banger

[Savvy]

Also got an email from Dan saying mine went out today. I'll probably see it either by the end of next week. Will post pictures when it gets here.

[dbreazeale]

Well, the UPS man made a stop here this evening. Here's the shots. I chose the Northwoods blend for the baccy sample.

Well I may be too late for the CA edition, but I'll need to pick something up from these guys. Their pipes are segzy!

[dbreazeale]

I smoked the new pipe tonight with a bowl of Gene's Easy Chair and it is a great smoker. Effortless draw that burned from top of the bowl to the bottom. Boswell makes some excellent smokers!

[Savvy]

I've got three boxes in at the PO...but it's Sunday :(

I'm sure I'll have some pictures for you guys tomorrow.

[imthegoal]

Well still havent heard anything on if they have even started on my pipe. I am probably just going to cancel my order.

[Requiem]

Well still havent heard anything on if they have even started on my pipe. I am probably just going to cancel my order.

Give them a call.

[imthegoal]

Already did 2 weeks ago and they told me I only had 2 in front of me. My next call will be to just cancel my order.

[fissure]

Call again. They were super easy to work with. Could just be an oversight.

[imthegoal]

Well before I even got a chance to give them a call I got an email today saying thta my pipe is done and is shipping today or tomorrow. Can't wait to see it.

[Commander Quan]

I've been watching this for a couple weeks, when I first saw this pipe I didn't care for the shape but I have to admit it's growing on me. Now I wish I would have seen this sooner and gotten in on it. I especially like that it will sit on it's own without having to prop it up.

[RHNewfie]

I LOVE the fact that it is a sitter and it smokes great too! Have had some Anni Kake and AJs VaPer in it so far.

[imthegoal]

Here are a couple pictures of my pipe that arrived yesterday.

Once again, Great pipes! They truly are C.A worthy ;):banger

[DrDubzz]

you may be able to give the boswells a call and see if they'd knock another out for you

[Slavac]

I would also like one if he's still offering this deal!

[fissure]

Give them a call. I believe this is one of their standard pipes, they just add the etching to it for us.

[DrDubzz]

Boswells 717-264-1711

Say, "hey, I wasn't in on the initial purchase, but I want a Cigar Asylum pipe. Can you still make one for me?"

chances are, they will no problem

[Guitarman-S.T-]

called them after hours a few days back ( I'm guessing no answer) and left a message still no reply. So i guess there either not interested, or ... Not interested lol, I'll be fine no worries, THanks though ;)
