what is your latest pipe purchase

[Old Smokey]

Picked up this Stanwell at a local flea market the other day.
Not bad for $18
It should clean up really nice.

Nice looking pipe Paul. Have you cleaned it up and packed a bowl yet?

I haven't yet.
I've been lazy and will probably just take it to my local shop next weekend and have them do it. They have the polisher with the wax and all that.
They do a chemical treatment too.

That’s cool. How much do they charge for that service?

It's really cheap at my shop. I want to say $10 or $15.
The guy that does it complains that it's not making them any money, but he's hourly so I'm not sure what his beef is.
They do the chemical steam treatment as well as buffing the bowl and stem.

Thanks, that does sound like a great price.

Pretty excited today.
I went to our local B&M's yearly Christmas party today and the wife told me she'd been meaning to get by there and pick me up a gift certificate for Christmas, but hadn't made it to Little Rock. And for me to get myself something while I was there.

So here's my gift from Mrs. Cool Breeze. It's a Savinelli St. Nicholas. The stem is absolutely gorgeous. If my memory serves me correctly, this is Savinelli number 8 or 9. They've all smoked phenomenally and I don't expect this one will be any different.

Aged Italian Briar Wood Pipe

Stupid PayPal sent the payment as an eCheck, so it took several days to clear my bank, and PayPal still shows the payment as pending, so I don't know if they have gotten their money yet and can ship Monday or Tuesday.

Got no response from PayPal customer service.

I think it's really nice looking, and was 50% off from the Rnatreasures sale I posted a thread about for others to get a great deal on a pipe. Can't beat a 50% off of everything sale.

Also get a randomly selected Algerian Briar Pipe for free as part of the sale too.

Paid $31 with shipping for 2 brand new pipes. Can't beat that.

Can't wait to see they have shipped and see them in person. I don't think I'll be disappointed.

Also, their customer service is outstanding. Never heard of the company until I got an email about the sale, but I have no doubts after talking with them that they are legit and carry quality finished and unfinished pipes that I may have to try my hand at sometime. I enjoy woodworking, staining, polishing, etc so it would be right up my alley.

No name pipes, but nice looking and as long as they produce smoke, I'll be happy for the $6 each I paid.
