Got my January Pipe tobacco of the month club shipment from Pipes & Cigars:
4 ounces of Moonshine Pipe Company's Mason Jar
4 ounces of Russ' Monthly Blend Log Cabin
2 tins of Erik the Red
2 tins of Balkan Sasieni
2 Chinese cob pipes
It is supposed to be half aromatics and half non-aromatics, but they screwed up this month and sent 3 aromatics instead of 2. I had a bowl of the Moonshine Mason Jar this morning and it wasn't bad.
This Kaywoodie RG cleaned up well.....

Still cleaning up this one. Got it sanitized and couldn't wait to smoke it as I have to go outside and grill some venison. Perfect size for a 15 minute smoke. Savinell Kings Cross....

Just picked up this little Orlik THE 3/4 oz. unsmoked from a popular auction site.
It is smaller than I expected, but should be nice for those quickies.

Got these two meerschaums on ebay for $18 each. Received them in the mail today and am very pleased. Fellow said he got them when he was in Turkey.

Those are nice-- block meerschaum and all? I've got a few clays, including one with a vulcanite stem that is pretty nifty, but no Meers. Someday...
Meers are something on my list to get to. Those look nice! :thumb:Quote:

Some of the ones you see on there are small pipes and they don't give you any measurements in the description to go by. I lucked up and got these from a former serviceman instead of a dealer.Quote:

I picked up a King's Cross the other day myself. Got it at a local antiques shop. Couldn't get him under $15 but I figured it was worth it and picked it up.Quote:
