I haven't tried the Blackwoods Flake yet. I'm debating on opening this one or just sticking it back to age. Hmmmmm
Couple no-names from the bay.

Cleaned up real nice.
The Canadian just says "Ireland Made."
The shorty says "Dorm, Jr."

Really nice. That Canadian looks especially good. What a difference.Quote:

Guessing that the Irish pipe is a Pete 2nd, and by the canting of the bowl perhaps older, nice looking stick.
Haven't researched it yet. He had a $4000.00 price tag on it. I offered $35.00....Quote:

My Tobacco allowance,,,,,Guess what I'm smoking this weekend,,:heartpump:
Found a Kaywoodie stem that was on a Brooks bowl. I married it up with my Meershaum Flame Grain that had a replacement stem, and re-clocked it to the bowl....

I looked up what I would pay for these on P&C and it was $56.36 without shipping. Club members pay $35 w. free shipping. I almost forgot it also includes two Chinese corn cob pipes and discount prices on the month's selections.
Four oz. of Haunted Bookshop, and a tin of C&D Pirate Kake...

Got this Comoy Blue Riband on Ebay for $44. There is a gap between the stem and the shank because if I push it in any farther, it gets stuck. I'm going to have to work on that.

I've learned how to fix that. Just send it to me and I'll have it fixed in 15 years as it takes time for it to swell out. Hell, I won't even charge you anything. That's what I love about this place, we all pitch in together to help a buddy out....Quote:

Hit the jackpot on this lot of pipes and accessories on Ebay for $25! The guy was very generous.
6 Dr. Grabows in excellent shape, including three larger ones that are also stamped "Half and Half".
5 packs of pipe cleaners (only one was shown in the pictures).
3 tubes of Brebbia pipe polish
2 shank brushes
1 Czech tool
1 Tobacco and pipe pouch
9 oz. bag of Virginia Gold Vanilla
9 oz. of Smoker's Pride Cherry Cavendish
The tobacco wasn't even in the photos or description. This guy was generous and paid more for shipping for the heavier package.

You do realize that tobacco is just for the collector value of the package and is not for consumption... right?Quote:

Got some bulk tobaccos in today and already have them jarred. Got these from Pipe & Leaf (website) or Tobacconists of Cary, NC (printed material). I'm very happy with this outfit. At first I was just grabbing tins that were on deep discount. When those dwindled down to mostly aromatics, I checked out their bulks and found what I wanted. Good customer service too.

4 noggins had what I wanted. Couldn't resist.

Tab (@Haebar), the Gawith Hoggarth packaging makes me want to smoke, a reminder of the delicious taste but also a throwback to mid 20th century look in packaging. i hope that they never change it
Andrew (@MrMotoyoshi), alerted me to this 1984 Ser Jacopo Renaissance #306, brown sandblast. I didn't finish reading his email and I'd already purchased it from SmokingPipes who packaged well and shipped fast.

@NeverBend : That is a nice Ser Jacopo! I am still looking for a billiard in smooth. Sold mine years ago and really miss it.

If you like, I can keep an eye out for you, and certainly I'll look at any Ser Jacopo you may be interested in. After Barling, they are, in my opinion, the best pipe and pipe maker and the gap (to Barling) is less than the gap to the next pretenders. Superior briar, craftsmanship, hand made stems cut from solid acrylic table tops, I love 'em as much as my Barlings, perhaps a little prejudiced because they were my line.
Jacopo and I battled about the Renaissance Series. I wanted perfect shapes according to the drawings I'd given them. They needed at least a little license so there were a lot of 'near' Renaissance quality pipes made in 1984-1985. As far as what to look for in Jacopo, I recommend staying with the Coral Dot era (1997 and before). Up until late 1984 they used a coral dot encircled in silver and later just a small red dot. Can't promise that every pipe will smoke well, but these were the most consistently high quality pipes being made in that period. After 1997, the silver "J" period, there have been complaints about the quality being inconsistent and that's my feeling too. Stick with the coral dots and silver/coral dot.
Regards,
Pete
Snagged this at Mars Cigar a couple of days ago for my cellar.

Just a few tobaccos for me.
Some DE Meat Pie, because it's only $5.99 a tin so why not grab one every order.
A tin of SPC Mississippi River. Never tried it and looking forward to it.
A 1 oz sample of SG Best Brown Flake. Haven't tried that one either.
Doesn't that package just scream 1940s? The reason I like (and smoke so much) Gawith Hoggarth is that they taste today much as they did 30 years ago. Not Samuel Gawith or any other company I find to be as close to their roots as GH, who make no bones about buying tobacco from Africa but it's obviously very good leaf and these maestros know what to do with it.Quote:
