very happy, an update to the post "im really excited"

[uberam3rica]

so i went to pauls pipes early. my friend was kind enough to loan me money for everything as i dont get paid till thursday.the pipe is a pauls cayuga which is briar and is stamped either pauls cayuga or paul cayuga, i cant remember of the top of my head and i dont have my pipe handy.i have a picture of the pipe below, i got it for only $65.the cayuga pipe i guess is a pipe paul makes.they gave me a membership card type thing called the cayuga card.it entitles me to one free ounce of tobacco each month and 20% off any pipe during the month of my birthday. they also gave me an ounce and a half of arrowhead pipe club mixture tobacco. i also bought an ounce and a half of sweet cherry cavendish which is their own blend.the arrow looks and smells great. the cavendish smells amazing, and is very dark.they have a great selection of pipes and tobacco. most of which is their own blends.they also have mac barren and other brands such as that. they also have a nice selection of cigars cigarettes and other tobacco products.id put more pictures up but i dont have a camera, and my phone camera sucks.

as you should. In about 6 months you will have estate pipes laying all about your place, 3 tins of tobacco you like, 3 ziplocs of stuff you smoke occasionally, 1 ziploc of stuff you hate but smoke anyway, a bottle of everclear you won't allow anyone to use for drinks, and your desk will look like the tobacco fairy shit on it.

now that i have a briar pipe i feel as though i have truly entered the hobby.my first pipe was a $20 lucienne, which i have heard is made of walnut, but i cant be sure. its nice, but not amazing.

This is so true!

and it is a good thing you have become a right pipe bastard before getting married. No sense in springing anything new on a potential bride to be.

Congrats, I am glad that you had a good experience. Welcome to the briar club. :clap:

So, it's like an Oom Paul made by Paul or a Cayuga or Paul Cayuga made the pipe...I'm so confused!! :wink:

 

[portascat]

everclear for cleaning, yes.
you can use whiskey, but that is for sipping.
My advice is to start smoking inside so that any future, or present, woman knows what is up right away.
And practice in the mirror pointing the stem of your pipe at people , to emphasize a particularly important point in your line of bullshit.

 

[portascat]

obviously, pipe pointing works better with a straight pipe. Using a bent mostly looks like you are holding a submarine with the periscope out.

 

[baronsamedi]

+1 to everything portascat has said thus far.

 

[uberam3rica]

You can get 91% Isopropryl alcohol at Walmart. In the pharmacy.Works very well and isn't drinkable.

 

[uberam3rica]

i hadnt thought of rubbing alcohol. thanks arthur.

 

[portascat]

In all seriousness, look at some of the posts, videos, blog entries and the like regarding pipe care, cleaning, dismantling, and the like. You will be doing all of that soon enough.
