you're killing me here...I don't own a Boswell...yet. So what makes the bottom LH one the best smoker?

So what makes the bottom LH one the best smoker

Well for one thing, with that knurl on the bottom and its oval shape, it fits my largish hands perfectly, second, it smokes very dry, no gurgle at all,even when i get it a little too hot, It also smokes and burns evenly, all the way down to the bottom, and ive tried several different tobaccos.
Its just a great one, the others are fantastic, dont get me wrong, that one is as close to perfect as i have come so far, thats all

You hit the mother lode!!! Unfortunatley for me, I don't know anyone else that smokes pipes

Nice score. I own 3 Boswells which I bought new. You probably have $400-$600 worth of pipes in the picture. Hope you got a sweet deal!

By those numbers i definitely got a great deal

great buy,

That is a great set! What are the year stamps?

Boswell uses lucite stems, so a little plastic polish by hand would get those stems back to their proper black and shiny state. (Meguiars or Blue Magic, any autoparts store)

The years go from 1996 to 2000 i believe, These al have vulcanite stems, it must be before they started to ony use lucite, they are definitely oxidizing

Great score!

 

[jchaplick]

Great get!! Now you have to buy two more so you will have a seven day Boswell Set!!

I still have the one that the stem broke off of, so i have to get that fixed, then buy one more and ill be set

Boswell makes wonderful pipes. I've owned three over the years and they are always light, well balanced, drilled well, and smoke like champs. Enjoy your Boswells.

Very Nice!!!!!

 

[seakayak]

It took me years to build a collection of that many quality pipes. Nicely done, my friend.
