    Thoughts on a "New to Me" Talamona Pipe

    I don't have any (I do have a Croci I like well enough though) - however my favourite B&M stocks them & they said that they're fantastic value for money. In any case, glad you caught a keeper!

    Interesting Completed Ebay Auctions - British Pipes

    I'm mainly interested in collecting artisan pipes - & I don't have much to contribute (you guys are way out of my league), but this is my favourite thread on the forum. Same as books, pictures, or films - you miss a whole bunch if you skip the classics.

    Show Us Your Opera Pipes!

    Me too - though it'll be a while with his waiting list & saving up! I really can't recommend him enough. I've three - all are great smokers & his stemwork is fantastic. He's also absolutely lovely & an actual pleasure to get a commission from. Crossing my fingers you get one soon!

    Show Us Your Opera Pipes!

    It is! Good spot - it was the first one he'd made. The chambers are a little more conical than my other Operas & they smoke like a dream. So much so that I've already paid the deposit on the next two of a seven day set. Super-excited about the project! The next two are going to be a blast & a...

    The Four Hundred Marxman Pipe Owner's Thread

    I confess I'm really puzzled by the cases - or the absence of cases. It's really well made & a very satisfying thing in itself - it's peculiar that none of them seem to have survived. I guess if mine's newer there was less time for it to get lost (& it was NOS), but still...

    Sutliff Blends Available In The UK

    Hmmm, I think it's Chocolate Mousse, Maple Street, & Loire Valley. Which makes sense for the first two with the no tobacco food names thing. The last one stumps me as to why it would be rebranded. I'm not generally into aromatics, but it's exciting to have new things to try.

    I can't find Black Velvet, Black Bramble, or Mount Street on TR at all. Rebranded? I doubt they're new for the UK.
