Brag a little about the pipe please; it's absolutely gorgeous - great proportions.
I am not sure what you mean by bragging but at 350$ for a classic S.Bang..I just could not let it go. The tobacco haul suffered a bit because of her but she is a very sexy couger.
First order arrived from Esterval's and I may have gotten a little carried away.

I've been doing some light sleuthing into Danish pipes and the history, your pipe definitely raised my eyebrows (and now the origin story even more so!) so I wanted to ask about it.
She is absolutely beautiful: fantastic shape. Like the gentleman already said previously, for $350 that's a bargain. Congrats again.

Got me a tin of Presbyterian Mixture, because, why not..
Thanks. Current freebie at P&C with just a 3 tin purchase of Mac Barens.
couldn’t resist after seeing that thread about the bagpipers dream
I was trying to resist but succumbed to the temptation, Solani Silver Flake and a tin of Samuel Gawith BS Flake.
GL Pease was on sale at SPC, so I grabbed a reload of some old favorites, plus some Penny Farthing and Montgomery for something new:
After reading through this thread I know that some time I need to purchase a big enough order to make shipping worth it from Esterval's if only to try HU Director's Cut.
Just back from Post Office, now off to get more masson jars and a shovel to dig a bigger cellar
I've been buying a lot lately, but the tobacco I'm most excited about is arriving this evening via USPS. It's a 50g tin of McClelland Blackwoods Flake from 2010.
I've never had any McClelland before. I'm worried I should have just left it that way since the tobaccos are no longer available. Only a fool breaks his own heart, and so forth.
Anything I need to know before diving in? I want to make the most of these 50g. Should I crack the tin and wait a few days? Any tricks/tips as far as rubbing out (or NOT rubbing out)?
