My Collection of Sasieni 'Seconds' is Growing

[odobenus]

I have a mild obsession with Sasieni 'seconds.' Long way to go before I catch up with dmcmtk (I'll never get there), but it's a start.

All these are Old Englands except for the rusticated Woodstock, which is a Royal Stuart.

And contrary to conventional wisdom about the merits of buying pipes that are already 'broken-in' (maybe this doesn't hold true for estate pipes that have been cleaned and reamed, but I'd think the drying of the briar over time would still show its benevolent effects), the Dublin (shape 13), which was NOS, smokes by far the best. It is, in fact, my (current) favorite pipe.

Maybe one day I'll get a 'first.' Something dotted. It crosses my mind from time to time.

They look like great little smokers. I like the smooth finish and the poker the best. I have a strange obsession with pokers lately. They are so simple and rustic, and I really dig flakes in them.

They will probably smoke as well as the higher priced Sasienis. About the only difference is that the 2nd's 3rds, and 4ths feature lesser quality grain and they have fills, neither of which affect the smoking qualities to any great degree. Both Sasieni and Comoy developed strong down streaming lines for their lesser wood.

Hey thanks guys!

I like the pokers too. And cherrywoods of course!

The best stems of any seconds lines, I've encountered. A great selection there!
