    How Did They Do This?

    My pleasure, Joe. Welcome to PM! I hope someone is able to tell you what kind of finish that is. On the inside of the bowl? Gross.

    How Did They Do This?

    I think that's what you were after. As for the finish, no clue.. I'm leave that one for the experts. aaaaand, the eBay auction link

    GBD AFRICAN MEERS

    Very pretty pipe indeed. Added it to my watch list, thanks Roth. Unfortunately I can't really even afford it at its current price seeing as 2 Cavicchis in one month have dried up my PAD funds until 2013... hopefully at least :lol:

    MM bag of smokable seconds

    Hmmm... My friends have shown interest in pipes ever since I attributed my quitting of cigarettes to them. Rather that obliging them when they ask for a puff from my pipe perhaps I'll just order a grab bag or two and toss them around with some 1Q.

    Turkish Coffee...never going back to regular coffee!

    The Cafe Najjar brand is what you will find in every household of my family, immediate and extended. I prefer mine without cardamom, my family is pretty much split along that front. I always use an ibrik but that's because we have many of them around. I don't drink mine with sugar at all but...

    Pelican is in stock!

    My tin of Pelican just arrived and I remember the last I heard it was made by Stokkebye for Butera. The tin that just arrived has permanent marker over thr bottom of the front label where it usually says "Made in Denmark". On the back there is a clear sticker with some information that says...

    The one that got away!

    I wish I could say it was me. When I saw that pipe yesterday I immediately regretted having spent so much on tobacco in the last couple weeks. Then I looked at my stash of aged tobaccos and all was well again :) But still, I'm going to set aside the dough for a Cavicchi cherrywood/poker the next...

    A Wee Case of Vintage TAD

    I should point out I don't have any experience with the current style of packaging, rather I found that picture with the warning label on Google. What I was most interested in finding out is if any of the current recipe was ever sold in the style of tin in my original picture. The hunt for the...

    A Wee Case of Vintage TAD

    Did you get a blend without any perique in a tin that looked like the classic ones in my first post or did they look different? As for the darkness it looks essentially the same as any aged VaPers that I have, how is it surprising? It's fun being able to decipher and unravel little pieces of the...

    What's closest thing to Penzance?

    I've heard one of the most similar is Smokers' Haven Krumble Kake but, as you can already assume, that tends to sell out regularly as well.

    A Wee Case of Vintage TAD

    Thank you, everyone, for the kind words. These are the current production style, much different tin as you can see. I'm not sure if the current production was ever made in the original tins though and doubt it because it would have been extremely misleading to do so.

    Pelican is in stock!

    I did manage to get 1 tin of Pelican but I wish Kingfisher had been available. Either way both are pretty high up on my try list so I'm happy to at least scratch one off.

    A Wee Case of Vintage TAD

    @ohin3 Thank you, sir. I PMed you about finding the Royal Twist. For anyone else interested in the MacB Royal Twist just shoot me a PM and I'll send you in the right direction. For what it's worth the tin I opened made the vacuum woosh and the tobacco is in excellent condition.
