PAD Year In Review 2020

[fightnhampster]

I went a solid 5 plus years without buying any pipes. I used about 4 pipes in heavy rotation.

This year however I went overboard and bought several. All of these I purchased this year. Happy with all except the Neerup at the bottom. I can't get that one to lose it's weird flavor.

Those are some very nice pipe purchases after going on a 5 year drought! Was wondering on the pipe that has a ghost if you've have gave it the old salt teatment followed by the water rinse? Sometimes when I get a pipe that maintains a ghost...fill the bowl with used wet coffee grounds and let set to dry out completely. I also do this to my pipes that get a little funky

PAD and TAD may temporarily go into remission but there is no cure.

They are all new, so none of them have a ghost. The Neerup (bottom right) is just taking forever to break in.

@Grangerous
Great looking pickups.... especially the grain on that royal danish

Fightnhampster, I was wondering how that Dagner smokes compares to other pipes in the same price range?

Yeah that’s a nice surprise, the Stanwell. Saw it and pulled the trigger.

It’s so much easier being a simple bastard. One favorite tobacco! One favorite style of pipe!

Fightnhampster,
Is that a Bones? How does it Smoke?

 

[niblicck]

I see now it is a bones by morgan and not a dagner...I've been wondering how those smoke also

That would make it a Molina, also great pipes.

Careful, that sounds like the beginning of an addiction.?

I had a target of 6 pipes. I think I exceeded by a large amount. No pictures today - but this is what I bought

1. Jess Chonowitsch Brandy
2. Smokers Guild (Another pipe group) Group Pipe - Kaywoodie Rhodesian from 2020
3. Sasieni Four Dot Amesbury
4. Sasieni Claret Bulldog
5. Sasieni Perfect Ten Canadian
6. Part of the set - Sasieni Two Dot Dublin with a hole in the bit. I did not want it, as I already have a two dot in my collection, but have kept it either to practice my hand in stem repair or to have a replacement stem made in the future. My first attempt in repairing the hole did not go well, but will try again.
7. Missouri Meerschaum Legend Cob- I did not have a proper cob in my collection and it filled a hole, and I am very impressed with it
8. “Specially Selected by Sasieni” - One Dot Canadian with 1925 patent. Specially Selected stamp was given to the pipes which Joel Sasieni graded himself and selected to be the best grade
9. Bruce Weaver Bamboo Apple


Also a very generous forum member gifted me two pipes

10. Peterson Rhodesian with a military mount
11. Briarworks Billiard

In 2021 I have a target of buying only 2 pipes.

In 2021 I have a target of buying only 2 pipes.

I'm buying only my signature Savinellis, any Bruce Weavers that catch my eye, and my annual J. Everett Halloween and Christmas pipes.
