Big Surprise Package.

[JimInks]

A big package of goodies arrived today from a good friend, most of it unexpected.
A big sample of Art's Virginia (made with vintage McClelland tobaccos), some Walnut and some Prince Albert Choice.
A tin of McCranie's Red Ribbon 1983.
Pipes:

A 1980s White Pipe straight, smooth octagonal paneled billiard meerschaum with an acrylic yellow cream colored saddle stem.

A 1980s SMS dragon claw egg medium bend meerschaum signed by J. Boglon with a brown and cream swirl acrylic stem.

A pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem.

An undated dark brown straight Signature billiard with a nickel band and a black vulcanite tapered stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem.

A late '80s, early 90s small bend medium brown smooth, unsigned Bjarne pot with a couple small rusticated spots, an amber colored acrylic ferrule and tapered stem in the military mount style.

An undated straight Derby billiard with a medium brown pig skin cover and black vulcanite saddle stem.
Anybody know who made the pipe with LCR on the stem?

Christmas on Halloween! What a wonderful array of pipe smoker joy! 'Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Congrats!!! I don't know about the LCR pipe, but if you get a chance, please do a review on the Prince Albert Choice Blend. I know it's not in production anymore, and I have a little cellared away, and your review would be appreciated.

 

[JimInks]

No problem, Yohanan. It was sent to me because my friend wanted me to review it.

Yohanan: I posted the review at TR this afternoon.

This must be my week for goodies. Just got gifted a 100 gram tin of Edgeworth Slices, and nine Wilke blends to review.
