Requiem's pipe journal

07-12-2009, 06:59 PM

The order I placed last week, from the UK, is yet to arrive (I expect it tuesday). During the weekend I've spent a lot of time browsing through tobaccoreviews and american online dealers... it's amazing the quantity of pipes for sale, at nice prices, in pipesandcigars and smokingpipes.

Also, friday I busted my Hilson apple while cleaning it... passing a cleaner through the stem I applied too much strenght and a piece on the bit got brocken. I'll try to glue it back together but right now I'm down to 3 pipes for english blends... way too low for my needs, so...

I think I'll be forced to get a couple of new pipes in the US... a Bjarne and a Brebbia are the ones catching my eye and at least 3 MM corncobs are also coming my way. I'll place my order monday or tuesday, for the pipes and the following tins (all 50g.):

2x GLP Westminster
3x GLP Union Square
1x McCl Frog Morton
1x McCl Frog Morton on the Pond
1x McCl Frog Morton on the Town
1x McCl Virginia nº 22
1x McCl Virginia nº 24
1x McCl Virginia nº 27
1x C&D Junkyard Dawg

also, will get another tin of Westminster and one of Abingdon from a trade with a fellow piper.

Alright, order placed (and availability checked, previously) with smokingpipes.com, although I'll get my hands on it only at the beginning of August.
Union Square was not available, which is a pitty as I really was looking forward to try it... I replaced it with a Solani Silver Label 100g. tin... (I had just seen dmkerr and sounds7 praising it... and if those guys say it's very good it must really be).
Smokingpipes had no MM cobs either, but I guess I can find those easily while in the US.
The two pipes I just ordered are these:

Brebbia Sabbiata Nera bent billiard

Stanwell Golden Danish 113

I think this two are bigger then any of my other pipes, which is most welcome for that after dinner smoke. After this buy, and already counting with the Boswell Asylum poker, my collection gets up to 12 briar, and the cellar will exceed 5.5lb.s.... July as been harsh on my credit card, but very sweet on the PAD&TAD medicine.
Not big, but very long, here's a pic of me smoking the Stanwell HCA, right after it's arrival this morning:
