[shotokun16]

Hello fellow briar brothers it has been a long time and missing the touch of a nice polished bent briar on the palm of my hands. Anyways, I smoked my first pipe tobacco of this year today at a cafe w/some good old W.O. Larsen in my Roma Savinelli Pipe 606. YUM!
Well I was randomly surfing through pipesandcigars.com and had no intentions on purchasing tobacco or pipes until i saw this:(NEVER HAD THIS feeling towards pipes before):

Yummy--carmella! ill let you guys know how it smokes. This is also my first $100 pipe.
What is your recent purchase for 2011?
NOTE: $100 or more spent at pipesandcigars.com gives you free shipping. Didnt buy it from cupofjoes due to shipping payment.

Nice, I've been jonesing for the miele and night & day pipes. Let us know how that carmella smokes!

Nice Pipe.
Here's one I picked up about a month ago at cupojoes. It's a Sav,

similiar to your shape.

Puffintuff,
That is pure art in my eyes. I think that would be an awesome pipe taking to the outdoors or on an African Safari. Is that P-lipped pipe?

 

[bubbadreier]

I really like the looks of this pipe, it seems to flow nicely!

 

[yoru]

Those are quite lovely pipes.

 

[bowhatchie]

Welcome back, shotokun16! That's a sweet looking pipe, I hope it works well for you.
My first pipe of 2011 was three: a lot of three estate Brighams off eBay. Somehow or other, I got it in my head that I'd like to collect Brighams. A rusticated apple Brigham was my first pipe, and now I have five.

I wanted the bent bulldogs, I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the dublin sitter: that thing has a bowl twice as large as any pipe I have!

Hey classic:
Nice--i think bulldogs will be next on the list.
Did you salt treat those pipes or buff em?

Hey Guys...these are the pipes that i have just acquired recently. The most recent is the Vauen C. Barontini which was purchased last nite!! Was at one of the shopping malls in KL with my daughter..getting her a new pair of shoes. Went into a tobacconist and can't resist the Vauen C. Barontini....

Edit: Fixed pictures, Bubba

OOOO nice bull dog cave! I do like that peterson though. Great catch for 2011!

I'm actually quite proud of myself I've yet to buy a new pipe for 2011, and haven't had the urge at all. Might be that my girl got me a very awesome Nording for Christmas, but my buying has slowed down considerably from last year.

Mine first one of the year was a Bjarne Viking that I love. First "expensive" pipe I've bought. Looks like it will be one of many though. ::

 

[shotokun16]

Nice grab lyst36,
OOOO nice--enjoy the Bjarne and make that baby last :puffpipe:

 

[lukester]

I just ordered a Savinelli Rustic Churchwarden, first pipe and i will try very hard, to be the only pipe for the year!!! :D

 

[hobie1dog]

I've had to hold off buying any new pipes this calendar year...been buying too much stereo equipment recently on Craigslist....been getting some smokin deals lately.

Here's my 6 for 2011 so far, all bought at the St. Louis Pipe Show:
The first 2 bought from "Pipe Dude" http://pipedude.com/
1926 Kaywoodie with real amber stem:

1930's Kaywoodie "Campus Pipe"

Next 4 pipes bought from Mattia ...
A Bulldog with the stamp on the shank, "the pipe"

This one is stamped Barrister on the shank, and the silver ring in engraved 14k plated.

A Comoy with the silver band engraved HC Sterling London

Comoy Canadian "Tradition" new out of the box, unsmoked.

And just for good measure, sorry to repeat from another post, I bought these in late 2010, but didn't smoke them until January 2011, my Blandings Collection pipes

 

[shotokun16]
