What's Your First Pipe Purchase of the New Year?

[alaskanpiper]

Alaskan, that Rad is a beauty. I have a feeling it won't be your last. I currently have 22 in my collection and I am always looking for more.

Yeah, I'm already wondering when I'll get the next one. There are a couple out there right now but not exactly "my style". This is my first one, and it's a hell of a good smoker I'll say that. 22! I knew you were a fan of his but that is a hell of a Rad collection! You'll have to post an embers style collection pic for us sometime!

magpiety, not a thing wrong with Rossi, especially as briar pipes to haul around. As you see, they are Savinelli shapes with slightly less fancy finishes often at considerable savings. Some of their series have gotten into the Savinelli price range too, but most are less. I have an 8404 Palermo yacht and a Vittoria prince, and they are sound as a ship and nicely balanced and finished. I'd take either to a pipe show or club and not have a moment's hesitation. Good smoking durable pipes.

This was it for me. My local B&M is going out of business and selling all pipes 50% off. I received a $75 Visa gift card from my parents for Xmas. The stars aligned and i could finally justify buying this Brigham by Nording freehand.

OK...here's a question regarding your new pipe. What is the connection between Brigham (Canadian pipe company) and Nording? The nomenclature contains the exact cursive Brigham stamping of the Canadian pipe maker.

Late to the party, but I'll play... A Yeti partial sandblast volcano.

I'm not typically a fan of partial blasts, but am a fan of birdseye. I am also quite pleased with the stem.

I see at least one Rad Davis in here, which is what I had been looking for. I found two I liked, unfortunately somebody else found them first. ?

Finally decided to get my first meerschaum,


China seller on ali express isn't the most desirable medium (never used before) but from what I've read its a legit seller and the only way to currently get Baki pipes.

From what I've gathered via the Brigham page on FB it appears they are doing a few runs of "designer series" pipes that are carved by notable companies but incorporate the Brigham system into the stem work.

Got this in the mail today. Stanwell 405 bent dublin sandblasted with a army mount.

Nice rustication on that pipe, similar to a gbd rock root.

I ordered this set from MM over the phone, and the lady was nice enough to substitute another Rob Roy for the 5th Avenue cause well the Rob Roy is my favorite cob.

That doesn't look very klein to me—but if that's Reiner's klein, I don't wanna imagine what their groß is. ?

Don't feel too bad, I'm up to three.

That's a little pipe.

I am taking pipestud.com at their word, but you have a point.

Just bought a Savinelli Bing's Favorite-rusticated. Just smoked it for the first time. Great pipe. Not only will this be my only pipe of 2020, but it is likely to be my last pipe ever since I have plenty of pipes and don't fancy getting another one.

 

[olkofri]

Hahaha, never say never.

Hahaha, never say never.

I know what you mean. Thought I was permanently done before the Bing. But a hankering came on to own a bing
