I Just Bought 2 Pipes

[curl]

But first I bought what I could of what was left of the McClelland VA’s.

And then I bought some more Va’s and VaPer’s, I guess out of sadness that all the Mcclelland blends were gone

All I did was add stuff to the cellar that I can’t touch until 2020.

As a reward for finally hitting the brakes on my TAD, I got 2 pipes from Smoking Pipes.

1st is Briar Works bent pot, a red sandblast with a yellow saddle bit stem.

Then I bought a green Peterson bent Dublin.

First time for me for either pipe maker.

I’m afraid Missouri Meerschaum will think I’m cheating on them...I got a llottt of their cobs.

Nice sounds like a win all around enjoy the new smokes!

 

[cortezattic]

Well, it sounds like you're ready for St. Patrick's Day! :clap:

I assume that Peterson is a St. Patrick's Day pipe? The pot is really growing on me but I just bought a Dagner Double Doublin RC St. Patrick's Day pipe so I had better cool it for a while.

Gotta love the packages full of goodies when you get home. Cheers. Enjoy.

I did pick the Patrick's Day 2018 pipe, the (305) Fishtail to be exact.

I wanted to get the green spigot 05, but it didn’t have a saddle bit like the red and ebony versions of that pipe.

I still want a spigot, but the whole pipe needs to be right.

 

[midwestpipesmoker70]

Yep I am liking saddle bits right now. Probably because I don't own one yet lol

I'm a big fan of all the Briarworks and Petersons I've got in my rotation. I bet they'll be great smokers for you!
As far as the TAD, I completely understand. I've yet to find a true daily smoker out of the handful of new-to-me tobaccos I've picked up since the McClelland rumors started circulating. I've found a few decent smokes but nothing I'm itching to cellar large amounts of.

 

[theloniousmonkfish]

Congrats on the haul.
Skydog, you checked out Ann. Kake, Virginia Spice or Louisiana Red? Anniversary with a few years has a great profile, not McC but it's tangy, sweet, spicy and the smoke is plentiful.

 

[metalheadycigarguy]

Looks like you did good. Enjoy the pipes, and down the road the baccy. ::

 

[shanegreen]

I have been looking at the new additions of Briar works pipes, and they look nice. I would say the one you got was top on my list. You can't go wrong with a pete. My wife would kill me if I went on a spree like that. Haha. Cheers!

Yep, I'd been stocking up on Anniversary Kake whenever it came in stock for a while before the McClelland rumors started and you're right that it's the closest I've found as a replacement for my daily red VA itch.
I enjoy VA Spice as well and have some cellared but I was kind of let down by Louisiana Red. Seemed like it was just Sutliff Red Virginia Ribbon with some light perique. Definitely an improvement and one I'd been thinking of doing with some of the Sutliff I have. Hopefully a little age will make it more interesting to me.
Definitely looking forward to some Anniversary Kake with a few years of age on it because it's very tasty fresh. Thanks for the thought!

The BriarWorks bent pot arrived tonight, so I gave a test drive right away.

It’s going to be a good one.

Maybe I’m making better pipe choices now than when I started this hobby.

BriarWorks included a sticker with the pipe.

Guess I’ll put it on the bumper of my truck.

 

[seacaptain]

Hee hee, Peterson. Good luck, they're the antithesis of Savinelli. :D

 

[k9shag]

Just opened a jar of Anniversary Cake from 2012. In fact I don't believe I have smoked any Anniversary Cake in at least 5 years. I enjoyed it immensely in a Savinelli Artisan. Looking forward to more today.

If we don't start seein' pictures here pretty soon, Kevin is gonna revoke your pipe smoker's ID card! :evil:

 

[whiteburleydude]

Enjoy. I did the same thing. Stocked some Mcclelland last week and bought a BC and a Vauen from tobaccopipes.com. Great website BTW. Free shipping no min.

 

[scotties22]

Gotta love the green Petes

So TAD turns to PAD, where have I heard that before? :puffpipe:
