These are from last year but only arrived today. First time I’ve had a box in a while.

Def post, and funny you say this... I was trying to shop Al Pascia over the holiday but slooowww and I kept getting frustrated. Was eying a Jacapo bent Rhodesian. If it hangs out a few more weeks, now that the website works again who knows.

As promised, one of 2 ser Jacopo's arrived today. The other is being molested by customs now for a week. Probably gonna have a nice hefty bill attached to it.

This is my first apple shaped pipe and I gotta say, it feels absolutely amazing in hand. Like holding a little golf ball with a stem, lol. I can't wait to smoke from it. It's a little reserved compared to alot of their work



I'll post second one when it arrives

Waiting on this Ropp in the mail. A few years back I had an old estate pipe with a horn stem that I didn't like the mouth feel that much. So I decided to try one with a new horn stem, and this one caught my eye.

Well seeing how I started down this pipe and tobacco road just over a month ago, all but one of my pipes has technically been acquired in the new year, with more enroute!! Yikes! To say I be been bitten by the pipe bug is an understatement.
Two of the estates, the IL ceppo, and Guildhall 215 were purchased through members here. Others in there are a little Ropp, Pete 230, Savinelli 626, and 122, and Briarworks c81. I like them all for different reasons thus far.

And yes I saw the Egg carton thing from someone else on here. A comical but surprisingly effective way to hold a few pipes!
It will do until I make my own proper pipe rack lol

How's she coloring for ya? When I get my claw, that's how I want it to look.

Nothing eyebrow raising so far. Eyeballing some nasal snuff accessories though.

I miss my nasal snuff days. The accessories were a big part of the fun!

What's that meer in the middle?

What's that meer in the middle?

That’s a G.A.F.

I wasn’t going to post this as it has taken me a week to calm down. I chose that meer as my first smoke from the box. I dismantled as per usual and place a small amount of Teflon tape around the bone tenon. It must have slip a thread, as a few seconds after being screwed back together, the top of the amber stem blew off

Picked this Lee three Star bulldog up on eBay last week and I’ve been cleaning it up since then. Gave it some coffee grinds for the ghosting and shined up the stem. Can’t wait to try it out tonight.

Got one of these coming in ... Did have a smooth Dolomiti in my sights, but someone else shot it first. And I don't like the stems on the other Dolomitis ... too dark for the finish, for me. YMMV ...

Got two pipes so far this year.

Not a fancy pipe by any means, and I think their filter systems are sort of controversial, but I think it’s quite a looker. This is a Brigham Voyager I picked up for huge markup at a local B&M. I removed the filter immediately.




I’m returning to the hobby after a long hiatus so I’m a bit trigger happy. I also bought a Savinelli Dolomiti 106 online. This one I’m really loving so far. It‘s by far the best smoke I’ve ever had. And I think it looks really great.

It came in today along with my first ever aromatic blend. C&D Autumn Evening. It smells like a big ole plate of pancakes.

Excited to try it out, but I won’t put it in my Savinelli until that one breaks in some more.

 

[Ray Popp]

That looks like you have raisins in your cereal ...

It won't hurt the pipe. You can use any tobacco for breaking in.

Another Jack Howell added to my collection.Bought as an estate as new ones dont seem to be listed very often and with import taxes are pretty expensive for me to aquire.
So I keep a lookout for estates
