what is your latest pipe purchase

[Haebar]

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!

Yes, they're block meerschaums and they are good sized. One thing to look out for on ebay with buying a new meerschaum is the size. 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.

You got a great deal! I'm partial to the unadorned meers (although I do have one mini eagle head).

& yes, if they don't give the measurements of a meer on e-bay or on an etailer's site, it's probably a mini (the better places do indicate mini). And unless they specify block meer, it's probably composite.

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.
Bit had some pretty serious teeth chatter, but I put a rubber bit on it and it's fine. Smokes pretty good.
