    Savinelli Cumberland pipes?

    It's a lovely shape. Not to big, not to small. Just right. I have an 803 KS straightgrain that I absolutely adore. I'd love to have a full rotation of savinelli long shank style pipes. I know they are cheap but they smoke as well as anything I've tried 5 times their price...

    Savinelli Cumberland pipes?

    They are actually called Savinelli Cumberland 514 KS on the shank stamp. Google says they were a 2018 run but can't find much more info. They made a 608 true Canadian one that I'm looking to aquire or the billiard version.

    Savinelli Cumberland pipes?

    I took a trip to Iwan Ries Friday on a rain out from work. I dug through alot of estates with a very nice salesman. I scored a Tim West, an Ascorti and an old Calabash Aldo Velani. But I look over at the new rack and there is an odd savinelli. I tell him to grab it for me and check it out. It...

    Key Largo?

    May they do better for you than they did for me. I bought a ton of Virginia before learning I didn't like it.

    Key Largo?

    I had high hopes for plum pudding. I smoked the first bowl of it 2 years ago in a meerschaum. It was absolutely amazing then reality set in and it became bland lol. Like I said I think it's me.

    Key Largo?

    I don't know what's going on with my palate. I cannot stand Virginia as much as I tried. I've grown tired of most Balkan blends. I still enjoy saseini tho. I don't even like Pease Oddysey but everything about key largo ticks the boxes. I can buy a new pipe with no break in and enjoy key largo...

    Sugar Crystals or Mold?

    I did smoke a bunch of it. It tastes just like sucking on a cardboard tube. Nothing, no taste other than burning paper. Like I said my palate cannot stand Virginia's I guess.

    Sugar Crystals or Mold?

    I think it crystals as it smells like sweet hay and floral of a Virginia. Forgive my camera but it looks like ice formed on the leaves. No sour or funk smell at all. Now the bigger issue is something is wrong with my palate as thus is about the 15th good quality Virginia I've tried and I think...

    Are these Worth Anything?

    I have. Some say they were better than zippo and that zippo actually copied their pipe lighter.

    Sugar Crystals or Mold?

    Thank you all for the advice. First time I've come across this as my cellar ages.

    Are these Worth Anything?

    I understand your snarkyness lol. I have looked on ebay but internet prices and real world prices hardly ever align. There were dozens of these nimrod lighters in the lot and I was looking for a real world not hopeful ebay entrepreneur buy it now price lol. Also the aristocob bowls I've not seen...

    Sugar Crystals or Mold?

    2019 tin of Stonehenge has this on a few of the Flakes. Looks like ice crystals so I'm assuming sugar?

    Are these Worth Anything?

    What Is So Great About Castellos

    I recently bought one of the boxwood stem billiards from smoking pipes. I paid 530 dollars. It shows up and is absolutely tiny in person. I feel quilt and shame. I think long about returning it. I thought for 2 weeks and then said you better just smoke it. Oh my word...while it's not a...
