Bruyere St. Claude Pipes

[brass]

I suspect that someone here picked up one of these $45.00 from SmokingPipes. How do they smoke?

Good question! I suspect they have a narrow airway which may or may not be a big deal here. Hopefully someone will chime in. I was about to post a thread asking after the price of these pipes. Every time I go to check the page the pipes are all sold before I can even load sp!

Was hoping to get one but they got snapped up in a big hurry! :crying:

I suspect that they are all being snapped up by one individual. I have seen them available and 10 minutes later they are all gone.

I was lucky that a friend grabbed on for me! When I still was considering which one to buy they all were sold! Now the wait begins. It´s a Lovat with a yellow horn stem. I am looking forward to smoking this "time capsule". :D

Good for you stvalentine! Be sure to post up some pics and let us know how she smokes.

I snagged one of these, a lovat. They are definitely old stock. The wood is quite nice with no apparent fills but the draw is of the slightly restricted old school variety and it whistles a bit. Bowl drilling is accurate enough but the shank counterbore is an inch and a half deep while the metal tenon (a straight cylinder not a stinger) is only about a half inch long. The stem is an attractive dark brindled color however the button is very small thus requiring, for me, a piece of silicone tubing to make it usable. I gave it a precautionary interior cleaning and I'll smoke it tomorrow.

There are just so many tobacco deals going on (C&D, new SL, the Cake deal w/ 4 noggins), I haven't jumped on this yet. Sounds interesting tho.
It IS amusing to watch how quick they sell....

I saw these when they were first posted and thought of getting a couple but I did not pull the trigger. Appears my decision was a good one as I don't want a pipe with a restricted air flow, by design or not.

 

[bigpond]

Thanks Darwin. Do let us know how it works out for you.

I was interested in these pipes as well when I saw them in my ads on webpages. But like most everyone else, they were snatch up before I could see the pricing on them. What is the price range on these pipes?

 

[darwin]

$45-$55.

[/b]WOOHOO!!! Just managed to snap up one of these little beauties!

I was browsing here on the forum when I noticed in the left hand column that Smokingpipes had 94 Fresh Bruyere St Claude pipes. I rushed to there site in a frenzy, yes a frenzy, only to find one left. Log in, whip out the MC, add to cart and check out all in record time! BOOM...got one. It's a sweet little Bruyere St Claude : Extra Acorn. A very slender, somewhat dainty looking pipe described as an acorn/pear shape. I am so excited that I was able to get one of these pipes! I'll be sure to post up a couple pics when it arrives. :D

i would like to know which a-hole is buying all of them up?

Hi, I just managed to snag two of these and there are still 2 left! Hurry before these two are gone too!

I logged on this morning and once again they had put 72 more of these up for sale last night. But this time there were 8 left. I took a quick survey and decided to buy 2. They are both 5.5" billiards and they are very light. The first one only weighs 14 grams.

and the second one weighs 28 grams.

They have small chambers 0.69 x 1.13

I am looking forward to giving them a try when they arrive.

 

[jmui]

Great choices! I got a billiard as well and an apple shape. Hope they smoke as good as they look!

You'll find out soon enough when they start showing up on e-bay for $75.00

I believe they're now all gone. Probably another round will turn up in a week or so. I'm betting they're excellent small pipes. Those who buy 'em and smoke 'em, let us know.
