Tobacquisitions - March 2018

[Trout Whisperer]

What does a tin cost at a B and M nowadays?

Were I live, tax on cigars and pipe tobacco is 125%. No joke. I sleep better at night with the knowledge our elected overseers are trying to save the unwashed masses from ourselves.

That is awesome, Clint. I've seen some of his stuff before - top notch work.

Thanks, Price. I’d not run across him him until I started researching leather roll-up pipe pouches. Glad I found his site.

I have never wanted something as bad as that. STUNNING

I know, man. I felt the same way - so then I got it. You can too, dude. Just do it! The leather is top notch, supple in a buttery soft sort of way, and the stitching is flawless. It’s something I can pass down to my one of my grandkids. I’d like them to have something to remind them of how much time they didn’t spend with me.

Yes sir it is. This pouch is a little bigger than his normal 'signature' pouch and holds up to three pipes. The shop owner's name is Frank. His regular signature pouch has an integral 4oz capacity lined tobacco portion to it and instead of that, this one is meant to be used with his 'workhorse' tobacco pouch, which you see on the left, just above the pipe cleaner sleeve. The thing actually has 3 compartments to it, that plaid lined one you see, plus once you pop that snap, you have access to two more compartments, one opening in each direction. To make opening and closing faster and easier, he also went from two straps to a single strap that's also a little wider than the two strap design. So far, I'm digging it.

Rats. Might need to delay another pipe and pick up a pouch from them .

Errr, could you do an in depth review when you have some spare time? .

Never been asked to do one but I bet I can. Do I need to start a new thread for it?

Yes please. For posterity’s sake.

WOW - Now that's a pipe! Nice pipe.

This came to me today from Sorring Owl and Sons. Apologies for the tobacco ash smudges on the rag in the first shot. And for the quality of the photos, in general.

Yes please. For posterity’s sake.

I'll get started on it.

There are not words.

Thanks! Frank did all the work. I just bought it. He's good.

The score from last weekends meeting with the Dutch/Belgian Pipe forum:

A Comoy London Pride, hard to date and needs a bit of work on the stem but quite a nice little bulldog:


And a l'Anatra Scottanaso 02 I'm really really happy with:

The grain on that Scottanaso is really nice!

Finally delivered today. Gonna have to wait till tomorrow for tha first smoke. Clenches really well, surprisingly.

I'm a couple days late...

But I love how that pipe turned out. You officially got me jealous. I need to get me one of those and also need to get an Al Pascia that you so kindly brought to my attention months ago...

@Kentos , you are going to cause me financial ruin.

 

[KWilliams40]

Detail in that blast is gorgeous!

Thanks. I agree!

Thanks man! It might be the new pipe placebo effect but that pipe smokes great. Twice now I dumped it out to find only ash.

Might be my first!

Might be my first!

Pretty sure I have a Pete barrel that says this wasn't your first enable... lol
