I Got Two in View but I Can't See that Far

edlogic · Mar 10, 2012

i looked at hundreds of pipes and i thought i only liked the billiards then right after i ordered a new graco safari billiard - i started liking the rhodesians -
now that

I SAW THAT MEERSCHAUM DUBLIN

i want to find a bent one just like it -
i found one @ $ 119

then another one for $ 89
now i have plenty of time to read up on meerschaums -

- because -

several things are likely to happen before i get enough money to buy another pipe -
probably enough time to learn how to make them myself by hand with a tooth pick and a paper clip - probably enough time to wait for one to appear before me as if by evolutionary magical mysticism
or ... - i can refuse shipment on the graco safari that i ordered and get the meerschaum or this Brigham Mountaineer rhodesian

hey - my signature started working again !

Your like me once you see a pipe shape you think about it until you have to have it.

Man, you've got it bad! :wink:

edlogic · Mar 10, 2012

Man, you've got it bad!

yeah -

as for pipes -

i think i prefer the lower light wave frequencies in general

but whatever it is - it's gotta be smooth

i don't like any of the ones with rust crust dust or blasted sand finishes so far
hmmm

are there any nature type finishes ? like coconut or bamboo ? or eel skin ?

I gotta admit, I do like the look of that Rhodesian. : puffy

irishsmoker · Mar 10, 2012

+1 brian64 I think the rhodesian is pretty nice!

edlogic · Mar 10, 2012

the pattern is not as striking on this one but still looks nice

beaterman · Mar 10, 2012

Sorry, but I have to say..... That Rhodesian looks awesome! I now must have it.... Argggggggg... my wife will kill you if she finds out why i had to buy yet another pipe...... :laughat:

beaterman · Mar 10, 2012

BTw, Anyone like the Brigham filter system? I guess it's made out of dowels or something? Sounds strange, wonder if it really helps?

biloxi123 · Mar 10, 2012

That Dublin would be a great pipe for flake tobacco.

lifeon2 · Mar 10, 2012

look into longchamps for natural pipes

simnettpratt · Mar 11, 2012

Hey, that was my meerschaum Dublin! I posted a stock photo, because I don't have a way to take pictures, but I've been wanting a Rhodesian or Bulldog since I saw the pics on this site, and I'm having dirty thoughts about that Brigham Mountaineer right now.
PS Eel skin?? Yeah, you got it bad.

yeah and i bet they are plenty slobbery spitty dirty thoughts

now wipe yourself off and clean up that keyboard now

it is a sure giveaway if your wife comes in and sees it

edlogic · Mar 11, 2012

funny thing about that particular rhodesian - and i am thinking this applies in general
i looked around for other prices for that guy and i found other ones but they did not look as nice

none of them
fact is - i would not nearly have been tempted so much by any of the other ones that i saw -
only one place in all the pipe viewing i have done so far - said that the pipe you see is the pipe you get
so does anyone have advice about what to expect when you see a pipe online and what you receive ?
thanks

I like the rock maple tube filters. They provide a smooth, dry smoke every time; and they are reusable. : puffy

:

Also, you can run a standard pipe cleaner through them in case any crud has entered the stem.

My 2-dot Algonquin is a wonderful smoker...

just tell your wife that my wife used my computer and signed in with my login
after i collect the insurance

while smoking my new rhodesian i will sign in to paypal and make it good for you and your wife

@ cortezattic
thanks for that information - i was wondering about what is the rock maple .

do you know what the two dot three dots signify ?

dagummit - i only have one day or so to make up my mind to refuse shipment on the Graco Safari that i ordered so i can get the rhodesian or the dublin

and now you gave me another reason to ponder
hmmm - i guess i gotta light up another bowl

( LUAB ) is that one circulating yet ?
p s - i still have not found out what PAD is yet - i guessed it is pipe acquisition disorder

edlogic · Mar 12, 2012

i found the abbreviations and i was right about PAD
here is a short look at a nice brigham mountaneer

( this guy just happens to be listening to an old alice cooper album i remember having when i was in high school about 1974 )

what do you think of this one ?

cortezattic · Mar 12, 2012

Here's an article on Brigham pipes. I don't know much more than is written. Pipes & Cigars has a big selection.
