I picked up 2 estate briars at flea markets this weekend. Gonna give my first try and revamping them.
The salt/alcohol treatment seemed to work well.
We'll see how they smoke in a couple of days. :)
Couple things I picked up while the forums were away!
St. Paddy's Green Shannon Airport Bulldog. Restoring this one now.

My Golf pipe for this year and some tobacco samples.

You want to buy the ones on my ebay watch list for me, so I don't buy them haha :DQuote:

My latest purchase was a Angelo pipe, Peterson of Dublin De Luxe Mixture, Sweet Killarny, Sherlock Homes and Mac Barren Modern Mixture tobacco. I was sceptic about the Angelo and saw mixed reactions on the net about the pipe but to be honest, I'm surprised with this pipe! I'm still breaking it in but it is giving my Peterson Barrel a bit of competition.
@Tony78 quite the haul you got there!
You're a brave man posting pics of all those Penzance tins publicly. You're gonna have people hunting you down now :p
As promised, MO Meer pron:

My haul consisted of:
1 General
2 Diplomat straights
5 Washingtons, 4 straight 1 bent
1 Pony Express, and
1 Mark Twain
Note, only 9 are in the pic - I gave a Washington to a guy at work.
@Bruck great General score!!! I have bought around 3 of those bags and have yet to score a General in one!!!
My PAD problem continues....pipe #4 in the last 2 weeks and I have 6 more expected still...
late 1930s - early 1940s stub Custom-Bilt.....I love it....I can't wait to start to restore it!!!

Sorry for the poor lighting.
LOL I have a local source who holds them for his regular store customers. I picked up a few tins for trades. Now that we have a new forum, there may some P-bombs in the near future.Quote:

Acquired this estate Wally Frank natural finish bulldog on the bay. (my first estate purchase)
Just needed a cleaning up. Will finish spiffing it up when I get a chance.

I like the new avatar, Bruce. Do those Virginians know you're pining to be a Yooper? You need to let me know next time you're back in the home state so we can get together.Quote:

I may just have a Wally Frank of my own coming in the next couple days.....you know, since the Bulldog I wanted got away from me :p
I'll post a pic of mine when it arrives, sometime next week I believe :D
a bag of Esoterica Stonehaven from 2012
LOL. I think I was eyeballing this very same one as well...Quote:

I ordered one of the Missouri Meerschaum's new churchwardens, The Wizard from MM. Just got it in the mail today but don't have time to post a pic because I am on lunch break.
I like my pipes the opposite of the way i like my women
old and dated
Its a old Fischer pipe
dated to be around the 40s/50s

I was wondering if anyone would recognize the avatar :)Quote:

I recognized it, Bruck. I'm from here...
Attachment 192
There is a pipe club that gets together on the first Thursday of every month at Don Yeyo Cigar Factory in Dearborn. I have been to two meetings now and they are a great bunch. There are also several other lounges in the metro area.Quote:

Turns out I was right about the Stanwell....it is a Royal Danish. The Custombilt looking one is a Fieldstub and the other is a no name "Silver Knight."
The Silver Knight looks like it has a little crack repair where the stem meets the mortise. That is where the silver band comes in...They're all filthy but I am hoping they all clean up well and smoke great. Time will tell. Probably will end up selling them to feed more of my habit haha.
LMAO! I remember the first time I went up to Jackson to meet my wife's family and they were doing the "hand map" :)Quote:

Just received a 10 pipe grab bag from MM. 6 Legends, 2 bent, 4 straight. 2 bent Mizzou. One straight Country Gentleman. And one that appears to be somewhat of a hybrid. It has the bowl of the Wizzard Cobbit with the bent stem of a Country Gentleman, and I can't find a flaw anywhere in this pipe.
It just got delivered to my job.
A MM Huck Finn, a MM hardwood, 3 oz of Lane 1Q, 2 oz of McClelland Red Cake, 1 tin of Ole Shennendoah Barrel No. 76, 1 tin of Ole Shennendoah Bootlegged and misc. supplies (pipe cleaners, a tamper etc.).
Ready to get home and partake. :)
Todays order, added a tin Black XX thanks to @Branzig Review.

Man! Get a couple imperial stouts in you, and you never know what might happen!
http://i120.photobucket.com/albums/o...psu5jaiww8.png
Apparently, I also bid on about 20 pipes on ebay. Luckily, I've only won one for about $20! :hopelessness:
Nice order there!!! Got some real good ones in there :encouragement:Quote:

The ad said that is has a Cumberland stem under all that oxidation....I don't think that is a true statement now the I have received the pipe....kind of a bummer...guess I'll know for sure in a couple days when I start to clean up all these pipes I have laying around :chuncky:
That is a nice looking pipe @Branzig I like the grain and the rustication.
Nice pipe @Branzig !
