Well bonus time rolled around again, and since I didn't actually have to use all of it for bills this year, I figured I'd treat myself!
So here's what I got;
2x 50gr McClelland Blue Mountain
1x 50gr McClelland 221b Black Shag
1x 50gr McClelland Deep Hollow
2x 50gr McClelland Virginia Woods
2x 100gr McClelland Frog Morton
2x 50gr Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls
1x 50gr Dunhill Nightcap
2x 50gr Lane Crown Achievement
2x 100gr Mac Baren Golden Extra
2x 100gr Mac Baren HH Old Dark Fired
2x 50gr Mac Baren Virginia Flake
1x 50gr Escudo
2x 50gr Orlik Golden Sliced
1x 50gr Capstan Blue Flake
1x 50gr Sam Gawith Navy Flake
3x 50gr Sam Gawith Balkan Flake
2x 50gr Germain Plum Cake
10oz H&H Mazatec
Most definitely the largest order for me so far, at least price wise.
Then, I went and picked up this new Nording "Queen" From the Royal Flush series. This is a BIG pipe, and also has the wildest look of any pipe I own! I'm not big on freehands (and yes, I do consider this to be somewhat of a freehand), but for some reason this one just spoke to me. I smoked it yesterday with some Dunhill DNR. Nice open draw, smokes cool and dry, actually passes a pipe cleaner fairly easy (a real shocker for a 3/4 - full bent pipe). And despite weighing in at 70gr. (the heaviest pipe I own by far), it's actually not bad to clench!
I also bought a Taylor Digital scale (accurate to + or - 1gr.) for keeping track of whats in my jars.
I figured I'd throw in a pic of my IPSD TAD from a couple weeks ago as well, since I don't think I posted anything about it. I kinda consider this one part of my bonus TAD anyway.
Here's what all came in it;
1x 50gr Sam Gawith Navy Flake
1x 50gr Sam Gawith Balkan Flake
1x 50gr Dunhill Deluxe Navy Rolls
1x 100gr Mac Baren HH Vintage Syrian
1x 50gr Mac Baren Virginia Flake
1x 100gr Mac Baren Mixture Flake
8oz PS Luxury Twist Flake
16oz PS Luxury Bullseye Flake
