What's new

If you were given $1000....

...to spend on pipes and/or tobacco, what would you get? I would get a Baki Gourd Calabash. Deniz had one like this on his site recently with two identical stems, one amber coloured and one black, for $995. Too rich for my blood, but that's why a fantasy question like this one is fun!

I'd get 33 Missouri Meerschaum bags of seconds! LOL.

Seriously though, I'd probably get a decent Meerschaum and put the rest into tobacco.
 
Man, that Baki is sweet. I've always had a thing for spigots, and I love that amber stem.

In reality I would likely splurge on a killer pipe in the $400 range and spend the rest on tobacco, but as long as we're playing the fantasy game...

...this Walt Cannoy suedeblast just might fit the bill.
 
I'd buy a tin of Bohemian Scandal from Ouch. :001_tt2:

Realistically, I'd try to get something nice from Ingo Garbe, and see if I could get into a Baki or H Cor with the rest.
 
Does adding a smoking room count? Currently we have a very large closet (8x15). So maybe leave a standard closet and a nice size smoking room???? I'm sure my wife would be on board........

Sure, why not! $1000 well spent if you ask me. Nothing like a nice smoking room in the winter time.

As I'm an adequately skilled carpenter, I'd most likely end up transferring labor costs over to a shopping spree for the wife....:.to get her on board........:I'm almost.00000000001 % sure it'd work.

I'm not sure if cigars count. Since I'm going abroad in another couple of months, I would buy a couple of boxes of Cuban cigars, which would include the Singlo VI

I haven't been around in the scene long enough to study the "big dogs" of the pipe world, but if I were to blow that on a pipe (or multiple pipes), then I would probably want something custom done. Paul, if you could make a pipe in the shape of a Savinelli 311KS with the tree bark finish and styling of our 2016 LE Pipes, that would be an awesome pipe to buy. A custom Mark Tinsky morta would be sweet. Or, to get a Baki bulldog with a spigot mount would be cool as well.
 
I wasn't aware Mr Tinsky worked with morta. I have two blocks of Morta on the shelf, but have never done anything with them. Maybe it's time to dust them off! A 311KS in bark would look pretty cool. Good idea.
