What's In The Mail? - June Edition

[nkourilo]

Hand carved by Master Sid in Albania

Tell us the story on that Frankenpipe.

 

[nkourilo]

It's one of the first pipes that Sid carved. He sent it to me as a thank you gift for some help I was able to offer him as far as listing his pipes. On EBay. He is the artist who carved my custom Russian Crest pipe.

This pipe is one of the best balanced pipes I've ever smoked. It feels so natural in the hand and the mouth and it holds a generous amount of tobacco.

Weight: 3.6 ounces / 102 grams

Length: 6 1/4" /15.9 cm (from tip of stem

to bottom)

Chamber Diameter: 3/4" / 1.9cm

Chamber Depth: 2 1/4"

Nomenclature: "S" on back of stummel/Shank

Ithe picture doesn't do it justice. The attention to detail is what you typically find in a high end meerschaum.

I've got a GBD bulldog and a sweet looking WF billiard bought off a member here and they might be here tomorrow if the tracking is on track! Old London has been calling and I try to answer when I'm able.

Rich got the best of me this month
First order

1 pound and so to bed

1 pound margate

8 ounces Pembroke

500 grams G&H Bob's Chocolate flake

8 ounces BBF#2

One sample Bright CR flake

One sample Rum twist
Second order

10 tins escudo

8 ounces Bright CR flake- So amazing, naturally sweet, was expecting it to be a very cigarette like taste but instant love

1 pound Mississippi river

About 500$ this month, but the peace of mind from having a stocked cellar for the next 10-15 years is good.

This is it until the next Christmas cheer comes out.

Just got my favorite 5 words :Your package has cleared customs

I'm waiting for the mailman to drop off a Dr Grabow pipe + 2 samplers from P&C, a Dunhill sampler and a GL Pease sampler.

 

[mrjerke]

5 bags of Penzance. Actually found somewhere without a 1 or 2 bag limit and I cleaned them out. And no I'm not sharing where. I shared all my secrets in KC last week. I have a feeling Zack will be snagging my Stonehaven before I can now. :|

Now THAT'S what I call a tobacco order.
Out of my curiosity, the bulk boxes of PS, and ODF, do you cellar as is, or do you break them out and jar them?

 

[andrew]

Almost a 400$ duty charge on my last order on about a kilo and a half of tobacco. In perspective though 10 tins of esucudo would cost me about 460$ here..... Have to go pick it up but I'm paying it, it's my last order I think for a few years. I think the glory days for canadians are behind us on internet sales, I blame peck.

Finally got round to putting in an order from the States, to pick up a few highly recommended offerings we can't get this side of the pond.
Also got a tin of Penzance on its way from a trade, and just received a tin of Firedance Flake and some Nightcap from another trade.
Most I've had in the mail for a very long time! That'll keep me going for a good few months.
