Awesome!

When I was little and we'd play gin rummy and if I begged she would play crazy eights with me, then one day she questioned how I made every right play and I told her I could see the cards in her glasses, that I could always see them. after that she went out and bought the big bold faced cards with the giant letters and numbers and stopped wearing her reading glasses when we played Good times indeed.

Great stories guys Made me smile and remember playing rummy with my Mother , Grandma, and great Aunts. Incidentally, My great Aunt Peg smoked a pipe. I was always fascinated by it, a large electric blue bulldog.

So after reading Penzance this and Esoterica that, as well as reading how it's bigger on the internet (phrasing), I shot over to my local Tobacco shop because people said you will have better luck at a B&M. I headed over at lunch time and was looking through the tins, I didn't even see Esoterica (of any kind) on the shelves, then I literally look down right next to where my hand was and ... BAM!! So I bought the five they had. Also while not technically my first tin purchase, I did a sampler off P and S that they are obviously delivering via Panda bear, this is my first tin purchase in hand.

That's a very nice score. Do they have any of the other esoterica blends?

No that's all they had so I grabbed them, seems I've already promised three of these out . I might try their other location or at least call them.

So now I don't remember if I saw one of those tins in the shop or just saw a picture online When I go back I'll look

It's nice of you to be so generous in sharing your good fortune with the fellow botb.

Picked this up off of fleabay for about 50% of the price of one new out of the box, already figured out I really like the bent billiards and apples.

Savinelli Santa Maria 606KS.

[MarkinAZ]

My last pick-ups for 2015, which should bring inventory up to a manageable level

Very nice pipe. They are only two pipes left I want to add to my stable to make it complete. One is a Savinelli. I have my eye on one but will wait until after Christmas.

[AdamJoshua]

Loving the Savinelli, has a nice big bowl and smokes so well, wow a really good pipe makes all the difference in the world, well that and letting your tabac dry out just the right amount.

Oh and not using the little balsa wood filter, I put the adapter / little plastic tube in instead.

Ok so I was cruising around Pipes and Cigars and came across the build it yourself tin sampler, how could I resist, I was looking forward to trying a couple of the flakes and I liked what I've had from the Seattle Pipe Club so I grabbed that and a Twain Bent and Country Gentlemen Bent (after seeing posts about them here). I think that's it I can only use the birthday excuse 10 or 15 times
