Finally got some equipment to clean my own pipes

Looks good Paul.You will have a lot of fun with that polisher. What is the pipe count up to?

It's up to 50+ now. I've picked up 9 in the past 3 weeks.
Not buying new pipes mind you, but picking up a few at flea markets including that Parker pictured above. It's a fantastic pipe. The company was created by Alfred Dunhill in 1922 using briar that didn't quite make the cut for Dunhill pipes. I couldn't believe I found one at a flea market.

A few other very nice pipes I traded for. I had some McClelland tobacco stuck back from 2017 when the owner of the company retired and shut it down. The aftermarket prices went through the roof with tins selling for $300+ each at times. I didn't want to just sell it, so I decided to trade it for nice pipes that I usually wouldn't buy for myself. It turned out great.

I'm sure my pipe acquisition will slow down a bit now that I don't have the McClelland tobacco, but I'm always on the lookout for a good deal.

Sounds good Paul. I just watched your last 2 YouTube vids on your new pipes. Looks like you are enjoying the hobby and having a blast. Looks like you are stepping up your game.
