New Jobey

[phred]

At long last, here are some shots of the new Jobey I picked up at the B&M a few weeks back...

This is actually my pipe bag - a Maxpedition Fatty in black. Two to four pipes, depending on size and how much other stuff I try to cram in, plus a couple of lighters, some books of matches, my Brigham tamper/pick, a Czech tool, a selection of pipe cleaners, and two tobacco pouches - currently carrying Lancer's Slices and Escudo.

Packed and ready to smoke.

Partial rustication on this line - this particular pipe has it on the bottom, which I liked the best of the bunch.

Side view. The stem has a threaded tenon and screws into the shank.
I'm using this one for English/Latakia blends. So far, so good.

Yeesh - sorry about the size. I swear I reduced them, and rotated the first shot at Photobucket...

I bought a Jobey from my local independent. Same screw-in stem. Mine has little clusters of drill carving that look like

bunches of grapes, and slender metal bands with a lucite stem in a gray-brown. The finish of the bowl is high polish, but

the pipe breathes and smokes well, and shows little age. I find it is especially good with aromatics in my rotation. My

pipe shop proprietor thinks the pipe was made when Jobey was manufacturing in the U.S. for a few years, though the stem

clearly says France. It may have been made in France, or the stem may have. This is a little billiard, and now about three

years old. It is not like anything else I own and therefore a nice accent to my pipe racks. Dollar for dollar, or franc for franc,

the French do a good job of delivering quality pipes at working man prices. I think they are undervalued, but I'm not talking

about it too loud.

Sweet little pipe. It's nice to see that brand back again and the prices are more than fair. Happy smoke rings.

Great lookin pipe! I have a Jobey "355" Stromboli bent acorn that is a wonderful smoker. I know some people have had bad luck with them, but judging by the one I have, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another! Congrats on your new pipe!

Really like the golden color... Looks like a great pipe and kind of reminds me of those patches on the elbows of sweaters and jackets. Happy smoking!

Thanks, guys! Looks like the edited versions of the pictures finally took.
The proprietor at the B&M was quite enthusiastic when I picked this one out - he's evidently a fan of Jobeys, and was glad to get a selection back in stock. I think he's also happy to have a new collector on the hook, too.... :D
