Is this supposed to be another pipes and spirituality post?

That thing on the table reminds me of an Amanita Muscaria mushroom.

Planning on smoking these both at the same time? Must have been quite a day! :P

if you leave them alone like that too long they multiply don't they ? Or is that the point ?

These are both Juan Urquiza pipes, bought separately. I didn’t realize until today how nicely similar, yet different, they are.

I’ll be keeping them together, in a nice velvet-lined box. Maybe sprinkle some cognal over them, play an old Nat Cole album, keep the lights down low….who knows?

That's an awesome match pot! Never seen anything like it. How difficult is it to get a consistent strike? Do any matches work, or strike anywhere only?

Did Juan just leave them there accidentally, or did you swipe them from him?

Does it have to be one or the other?

I posted about these a few weeks back. They’re repro’s, made in Louisiana. They are silly expensive, but they have seconds for sale sometimes, and then they’re reasonable.

The match strike comes with a box of small strike-Anywhere matches, but they kind of suck. Usually takes 3 strokes. The larger Strike-Anywhere or higher quality small ones should work just fine.

These are all seconds.
They are usually around $85.

It seems strike anywhere matches are available locally at Walmart and Ace hardware. Diamond makes them. But USPS won't deliver them.

 

[PipeWI]

Got mine in Ireland on a whim, and yes, Ace hardware stocks strike-anywhere matches!

Looks like a pair of beauties you have there!!

Of course, after seeing this thread, had to go and find out how much they are. eBay sell them for $14 + $10 shipping B - class.. But, there places selling A - class, assuming, for $35+. Will probably get one. No clue why I want one. I don't use matches.

It has to be Smokey robinson!

I had to look those up. They are not super cheap in France either since the price is dirven by the antique market. You can grab an old one for 30-50 bucks but some of them cost more. The repos are about 35. Pretty cool but I probably dont need one.
