Tobacquisitions October 2020

[Kilroy6644]

My Smoking Pipes order came a day early. Two Ropps, a Peterson Irish Made Army, and a pipe crafting book I might actually use some day. This was actually smaller than what I had originally planned. I took a couple of pipes out of the cart because I wasn't ready to spend that much. Good thing, too, because I was able to put that money towards a gun.

So, what goodies did you get?

No goodies yet, but your background fabric looks remarkably similar to the upholstery on my rocking chair, which I inherited from my Father, the cushions for which were sewn by my Mother.

Man, look at that pipe! Sitting up all by itself like a champ!

That’s a lot of smokes!

 

[brandaves]

A little over a pound SG St. James Flake, pound Sutliff 507C Virginia, a sealed vintage tin of Navy Sweet Scotch Snuff, Sealed vintage tin of Red Seal Sweet Snuff, an empty vintage tin of Flying Dutchman, an Estate Sasieni 4 dot, Estate Savinelli de luxe Milano 413 and an ashtray which perfectly cradles two pipes.

 

[Kentos]

SJF is good stuff. Fresh is nice too.

I didn't realize how sought after the Sasieni four dots were until I did a bit of research. I will be sending mine off for a replacement 4 dot stem as well as full restore. The stem was chewed straight through but the bowl and pipe itself is in excellent shape...I got it for $5!

Clean it up, put a softee on it and let us know how it smokes.

It'll smoke it great. But by chance you don't like it, flip it before you out money on a replacement stem.

It's alread

It's already in a box for shipment . Besides, even with the price of a restore and stem replacement I'd still be able to double my money on it given the current market.

1. My old Peterson Prince - polished and cleaned
2. GBD bent Billiard - polished and cleaned

New to me:
3. GBD Panel 676
4. Haymarket panel (French likely Algerian briar)
5. Lambroley - St. Claude hand made Dublin shape also likely Algerian briar - truly beautiful pipe.

 

[Riff Raff]

Okay. I may have gone a bit overboard.

Wow what a score!

A gift from a good friend.

Nice score, Bill! How old are the Royal Yacht tins? They have the indented tops, so I know they're at least a few years old.

But 1996 red ribbon...

I don’t know how he keeps finding more and more McCranies!
