So I recently went home to Southern Illinois to visit my parents and see my new niece. It was shortly after my birthday. While there we went out antiquing, something we like to do and my parents bought me these two really neat old clay pipes. The darker one was maked civil war era, the bowl not the stem. The other terra cotta one is unused...so far. Then I got an old Union Leader Tobacco tin, I just love these old large tins. They also had picked up for me 2 baggies of different blends, this one in the pic is called Shawnee Wildfire is a very tasty Latakia Cavendish blend. And they gave me some $$ which I used to buy a Xikar Scribe lighter and 7 more tins of Cut Virginia Plug which puts my cellar up to 20 of that blend. All in all a great Haul. I'm from southern Illinois right near the Missippi River valley. Here is also a pic of that view.
