    2025 Savinelli Saint Nicholas 🎅🏼

    Post a multitude of gratuitous pipe pictures from your extensive well curated collection and the devilish price you found it for……..that should get things rolling.

    Why Buy Tins?

    5 pages and not one mention whether square or round tins should be Are we taking into consideration square tins or round tins? It's all in the details….I will go consult the manual.

    Margate. Isn’t It the Cats Meow!

    Totally agree….also 1820 has turned out to be amazing. Peacehaven is by far my favorite, hands down.
