Fufilled 2/3 of One of My Bucket Wishes, Birth Year Pipe

[JPremo]

Well I've only gone and done it lads!



It's been a goal of mine to get a nice stash of Birth Year alcohols and pipes going and after a few weeks of searching my first of each are finally here

The Cognac is a 1991 Frapin with tons of oak to get through before you notice the subtle sweet fruit complexities, very tasty, and the pipe was from a Japanese Estate buy made by SP. It's marked KOBE '91 and seems to be made by an independent artisan as far as my research goes. Guess I have one to add to pipephil :D

Now my full goal is to find some vintage 1991 tobacco ( a lot harder than the pipe and cognac ) and enjoy all 3 on my next birthday!

Cool finds! Enjoy ?

Very nice, best of luck on the tobacco.

Finding a vehicle from 1991 might be cheaper than the tobacco! happy birthday by the way.

DUDE Don't give me ideas, I do kinda like the '91 Z28's.....

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

You're young.

You're young.

My steadily receding hairline would beg to differ sir!

I feel your pain! Mine started retreating when I was in high school...

‘93 baby! And going on a dozen years as a pipe smoker. Does this mean I’ll start losing my hair two years from now?

HAPPY BDAY MAN!
I WAS 9 WHEN YOU WERE BORN

Does this mean I’ll start losing my hair two years from now?

Well either way I know the cure. 1 motorcycle, a few guns, and some new pipes have been making me feel a lot better about it!

'91 was a good year. I was 12 and went and bought myself the newly released Metallica LP, later to be known as The Black Album. At the same time I discovered that I sort of liked some of the songs by someone named Bob Dylan on my dad's LP's. I read The Lord of The Rings and The Three Musketeers. And that's about all of my intellectual property, all gained in '91. What a year!

I bought a 1970 Barling TVF that was from my birth year. Great little pipe. Smoked it this morning. Usually only get it out once and a while.

Birth anniversaries are not for me, but it seems they are very meaningful for you, and so I celebrate with you the appropriate tobaccos and spirits.

I have that now! I started in mid March when I had to start working from home. I added a profile pic finally. You can see the 5 months of beard

I own both an 84 and 86 Pete Mark Twain, both inherited. I was born in 85. Although I love them both to death some days I feel like The Universe juuust missed...

Congratulations on your finds and good choice of cognac - one of my favourite cognacs as well as producer.
