New Pipe, Lighter & Tobaccos!

[pipedreams86]

I am a bit limited on B&M options here in Romania, so friends and family have been kindly shipping to me from USA & UK, but I had to make a 3 hour trip today, that just so happened to coincide with the location of one of the B&Ms here...picked up a few goodies while I was there!
Got my first Savinelli which I'm excited to try out....the lighter looks like the Corona Old Boy but doesn't have the tamper, so from what I can tell online it's a Corona Classico? It wasn't marked with anything other than a price

Nice pipe there buddy...should go well with your (suitably dried) FVF :wink:
Regards,
Jay.

Nice score! I've never seen a Sav quite like that before. Enjoy the tobaccos!

Congrats; always fun to find things when you get to a B&M. Enjoy the Sav!

What type is that sav.? Love the stem and rustication.

A good trip, then! Very nice, hope you get long term enjoyment from the pipe and lighter.

You made some very nice choices. Good-looking pipe ... all of it!
:mrgreen: -Score!

I see that they're stamping "I.M. CORONA" on the front of the lighter. Never seen that before, must be due to all of the similar-looking off-brands out there.

thanks guys! excited to start breaking in the new pipe...very happy with it and my other buys..the pipe is a Savinelli Marron Glace 128 according to the box, I had been wanting to pick up a Savinelli for a long time having read many good things about them, especially here...
@balkisobrains that's interesting about Corona stamping their name on the front of the lighter...being a newbie this is my first pipe lighter (lots of relights with matches was getting old), seems like everyone highly rated the Corona's...
hope you all are enjoying the new year so far...

You should be good to go with that lighter. I know that Dunhill, Peterson, and IMC should be safe bets if you want an Old Boy. There are a lot of off-brand old-boy style lighters out there, for better or for worse, and I guess I.M.C. felt the pressure to make sure you know what you have in a flooded market. ::

Congrats, nice pipe. And it's always good to see a nice lighter.

Love the Sav, congraats on your TAD and PAD!

 

[philobeddoe]

Signature is really good stuff, the smell in the tin will knock your socks off!
