what is your latest pipe purchase

I was in a grocery store at lunch and saw this.

I love the Kake....Aaaarghhhhh....

Picked up an old Mastercraft Hand Made bulldog (France) for cheap.
Had quite a bit of muck, but it looks good underneath.
Got the dirt cleaned away and the insides cleaned; now to tackle the stem. Not sure if I want to add any stain. It is in good shape, but the stampings are light. I don't want to sand it.

Good job on the rim! That's the toughest part for me to clean. How'd you clear the rim?

Looks great. Would love to nab an estate bulldog someday. Always liked em.

A little Everclear on a paper towel and turned the pipe over and "topped" it on the flat paper towel.
Doing it this way keeps me from going to hard, or the paper towel will tear.
I also did spot cleaning with Everclear and Q-tips.

I know what you mean; I am crazy about pipes, pipe tobacco, and cigars. I'm still single but I do try to hide big purchases like this from my girlfriend. Most of this order is for blending but the Pirate Kake and the Engine No.99 were such a deal I couldn't pass them up.

That Kake is very good, if I say so myself. Not familiar with the 99, but with the Kake in it, it couldn't be too bad....

Picked up these items during P&C's recent Father's Day sale. The ropes are Sweet Coconut and Sweet Maple. Four ounces of the Sweet Maple are on back order.
