I have been as busy as hell at work lately and haven't had much time for the forum. Just got home and saw that I missed all the excitement of the Kyle Black thread, lol. In any event, I picked up a few new pipes I thought I would post.
First up is a JT Cooke Chubby Billiard:
Next up is an unsmoked Ruthenberg - this has a very different blast than I have ever seen from Brian:
Finally, a pure impulse buy that I truthfully didn't expect to win - it seemed to be going low so I lobbed in a bid. I am not a big Dunhill guy but this Thames Oak limited edition (only 500 made, and this is #416) caught my eye. According to my research:
"The oak used in the making of this titanium band and tampers is from an actual section of the first Roman port facilities built in London around 63 AD.
The wood was discovered during excavations by the Museum of London´s Archeological Service on a site just north of London Bridge.
Using the extremely accurate method of dendrochronology, with is used to calibrate dating, this wood has been certified, by University College London, to have grown from 186 BC to 63 AD."
I have seen these go for much more than I paid for it so I think I got a decent deal.
