My Huge Score.

" Just wanted to share my score. I bought a guy's cellar of ~60 jars of tobacco off of Craiglist for $200. Lots of good stuff in here."






It looks like most of this stuff was jarred between 2016 and 2020, based on the dates written on the jars. He also threw in some nice pipe stands and a box of a dozen or so old pipes. Looking forward to restoring some of them!

I would've been all over that. And you get a bunch of jars and accessories. Nice find.

 

[AroEnglish]

What a haul! What have you tried so far?

 

[Kobold]

Damn that is an awesome score!

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Quite the deal, great find.

 

[Searock Fan]

Good one! Hope you enjoy it. I made a similar find off Craigslist a while back and can't help but wonder if this is the same guy. Would you mind telling us what state he was in? Mine was in Texas. Thanks

 

[Egg Shen]

How many of us are now scouring our local CL now because of this? lol

 

[jpmcwjr]

Yes, huge! Please stick around and introduce yourself in the thread for that.

What are the top few finds in that stash?

Enjoy!

 

[Servant King]

That's precisely how I got started, except I had to jar mine manually. Yours already came good to go! Enjoy 'em in good health.

 

[Bbailey324]

Nice find. Let us know if you find any favorites among them.

 

[trouttimes]

Nice!

 

[ThePiedPiper]

Thanks all. I haven't had the chance to crack into any of these yet, but I'll be sure to report back when I do.

This haul was from a guy in Arkansas. He said that his dad smoked and he had good memories of the scent, so he bought a whole bunch of it and then realized that it just wasn't for him.

I think he pipes he gave me were his dad's. They're a little worse for the wear, but I think it could be fun to try to restore some of the better-looking ones. Here are 3 of my favorites from the pile:

The top one is "rusticated" and is a billiard shape.
The middle one is a Hungarian by shape.
Last one could be called a number of shapes.

Photos of the nomenclature would be appreciated! Hint; shoot agains a darker background, indirect natural light, individually for top results.

 

[FurCoat]

I'm glad you were able to aquire these goodies. It would have been a shame if it had gone to the dump.

 

[Bright Orange Red]

Nice haul at a reasonable price it seems. Enjoy!

I think those pipes will come back to life with a little elbow grease, to say nothing of all the tobacco.

Nice find!

Awesome! Enjoy!
