what is your latest pipe purchase

I did something bizarre today. I logged on to SmokingPipes with the intent of ordering 25 50g tins of Solani 633, Virginia with Perique. They only had 13 tins in stock, so I took those.

But then I noticed Solani 639, Tropical Mango Flake. By no means am I an aromatic fan, but I've been so impressed with Solani tobaccos. For example, Solani 656, Aged Burley Flake, is the only straight burley I've found that I like (and I like it a lot). So I took a flier, and ordered five 50g tins of the 639. Hope I like it.

I also bought a tin of Dunhill De Luxe Navy Rolls for the free ride. DLNR is a classy VaPer.

I need to start blocking emails from vendors. Got one from Pipes & Cigars about the new Russ Ouellette Perique Series blends, so I took a look at them. Ended up ordering one tin each of blends # P-37, B-41, GP-11, and SV-23, plus 2 tins of RO Series Acadian VaPer, 2 H&H Anni Kake, 2 pouches of Carter Hall, and one tin each of D&R Windsail and Dunhill Ready Rubbed. I have no self control.

Don't feel alone. I have the same problem when it comes to pipes and tobaccos, no self control. I went hog wild on the Mar's Cigar sale that started yesterday.

Made a small P&C order and it cam in today.
I got:

Dunhill Elizabethan Mixture
Solani Aged Burley Flake
Dunhill DeLuxe Navy Rolls
1 oz of match Revelation (to try Einstein's blend)

I need to stop reading these posts, Every time I do I say to myself "Oh yeah, I need to order some of that too."

So, I get a small tobacco order in from Pipes & Cigars.com and they give me a password for 20% off my next order of $100 or more. What the hell, I'll go look, no harm in that. I think you already know how this story ends.

Attachment 6072

It's a Mastro de Paja Classica Billiard. I'm a sucker for Italian pipes.

Dang, I wish you hadn't shown me that pipe! I like it, particularly the ones with the taper bits. I didn't realize you could get a Mastro de Paja for so little.

Which stem configuration did you buy?

The saddle stem. If you look at the page, the one at the bottom that says "Out of stock" is mine.

Edit: The pipe just arrived. It's really quite nice, handmade, medium size pre-carbonized bowl, drilling is spot on. If it smokes as good as it looks, I may go back for one of the apple shape.
