Shown next to a full-sized one to see the relative size. Got it from AND in Ypsilanti, MI. Chose this one based on (1) they claim it's made from block, (2) it came with a case, and (3) it was dirt cheap - ~$21 shipped.
Just ordered 1 pound of Dunhill Nightcap and 1 pound of Dunhill EMP for a grand total of $78.60, what a steal.
I'm gearing up for a "Compare the Navys" review session. Just got in four more navy flakes, so I'm up to 7, I think.
Comoy's Cask 4
McClelland No. 2035 Dark Navy Flake
Samuel Gawith Navy Flake
Newminster No. 400 Superior Navy Flake
I picked up a new cob for the comparo, which I'm going to break in tonight.
I also got a tin of Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky and an oz of Hearth & Home Bulk Vermont Meat Candy.

Thanks, Pete. I have some PS LNF. But if you've already sent it out, I'll definitely smoke it! :pipe:Quote:

Ugh. I'm so lost in how I should feel right now. :banghead:
Now I need the coat!
Couple little things I've picked up. Been out of town so haven't been able to post:
The top pipe is a Brigham 1 dot Pot shape, the one below is a little Mastercraft with CB-like rustication. I think the tobacco is self explanatory :p

Nice haul that.Quote:

Never owned a Kaywoodie before, but now that I'm retired I can't afford to be a pipe snob anymore, so I just grabbed this one on Fleabay.

Warren, that's a nice looking stick and it appears to have been nicely restored. Enjoy.Quote:

I was on a bit of a latakia kick and smoked Dunhill Early Morning Pipe all weekend, but the other tins I took did not go to waste thanks to my tobacco-less friends.Quote:

Started my journy into piping this afternoon with a few starters that @Branzig suggested.

Hi Jake,
Looks like @Branzig did you up brown. Enjoy yourself.
Damn, what a beauty. What did the auction cost you?Quote:

One tin of Dunhill Royal Yacht and three of Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls. I love the Navy Rolls but will only buy it when it's on sale, and all this month Dunhill tins are 25% off if you buy a minimum of 4 at Smokingpipes.com. I may even go back for seconds.
Small order from P&C came in just now.
2 tins of Orlik Dark Strong Kentucky, ounce samples of Pine Grove and Louisiana Red, a bundle of Schizo cigars, and a single Villiger Bold cigar to sample. Kinda pissed that the Villiger came in really rough shape, I don't know if it can even be smoked.

Just jarred up a pound of EMP and a pound of Nightcap.
If you get a minute, let us know what you think of the Pine Grove.Quote:

Contact P&C about the beat up Villager. I'm sure they'll make it right.Quote:

Adding to that hole in the head I purchased a Barling

Bowl was made in pre-transition and probably the stem too (originally) but this bit may be a replacement. I'll try to post before-after pics when I get to it.
I already smoked it...or at least what I could. It was only a buck and I just wanted to try it to see if I'd want a bundle as a cheap stick. It was a pleasant smoke, but the construction issues put me off. The 20 Schizo's I got are flawless in construction and smoke pretty damn good for a dollar stick. Love em.Quote:

Warren, why not buy a nice Amarone and keep them together till you smoke them? :)Quote:
