New Pipes

[Wasch_24]

Let's just post up here when we get a new one and share a pic if we can find 'em.

Wednesday when I had my celebratory cigar I cruised down to one of the OVTCs in the area and picked up this Savinelli:

Then today, while at another OVTC with my Dad I picked up this Nording:

He decided on an economically priced La Rocca rusticated pipe that I can't find a picture for.

[David]

That Nording rocks!!

[tedski]

I like the unique wax drip affect on both ends of the Nording. :thumbsup:

One thing I'd like to pass along to you Todd ... and all the upcoming pipester here. It's something I learned well after I already had many, many pipes in my collection:

One excellent pipe is better than three good pipes.

Please note that you can find great pipes at almost any price point. But go slow ... learn what makes a quality pipe ... how to load and smoke different types of tobacco ... and how to clean and maintain your pipes. Doing this will help you make better choices in the longrun. Well made pipes can last a lifetime and beyond.

[Wasch_24]

Thanks Ted. I think I have enough for a while now. It's bonus time right now, well almost a month late actually, so I tend to go nuts on "Me" purchases at these times. Going slow is a relative term for me because these quarterly bonuses are all 'I' get.

I'm very happy with the way both of these have been smoking so far. I have smoked one full bowl and three quarter/half bowls out of the Savinelli already and I like the feel and smokeability very much. Last night was my first smoke, a quarter to one third bowl, in the Nording and I am very pleased with that one.

[Wasch_24]

Ok, so I bought the last of my bonus pipes today. Wednesday my Dad picked up a similar Nording and today I picked up this Karl Erik freehand at a tobacconists in Leesburg. I will use it for my aromatics that seem to burn very hot. It should work nicely.

[Mississippi Rifleman]

I really enjoy my Savinelli. For the price, I don't think you can beat them. Oh, I have that same pipe. :thumbsup:

[Wasch_24]

Enroute thanks to Azsteelman and the newbie sampler trade...thanks again Randy. :thumbsup:

That is awesome Todd! What kind is that?

[caudio51]

[joshua]

The savinelli at the top is kinda the style I like. I have been thinking about getting something cheap justs to try a pipe out to see if I like it first.

[Wasch_24]

That is awesome Todd! What kind is that?Savinelli Porto Cervo

[Hal]

It's my favorite style too. Here's the Paronelli I picked up a couple of weeks ago.

[caudio51]

Looks like it is made out of pipe cleaners

[Boppa-Wasch]

It is......?????? A pipe cleaner stand?????? Or a stand for pipe cleaners.:dunno: :peace:

Got my first pipe off ebay. Nothing fancy but it was only 7 bucks. Don't have all the other paraphenelia to smoke it yet. Says "The Tobacconist Inc" on it.

I also found out with our tax refund Marie and I are going to the chicago pipe show this year!!! so hopefully i get some more killer pipes!
I usually take $300 for pipes and baccy.
Last year i ended up with 2 new boswells, 5 lbs of tin tobaccos and some killer stories!

The chicago pipe show is the best!

[geckoheart]

Sweet looking pipe Todd!

[caudio51]

Todd, that is an awesome looking pipe!

[Wasch_24]

:stretchgr :stretchgr :stretchgr I just bought my first pipe.:stretchgr :stretchgr :stretchgr

[caudio51]

Very nice! Congrats!

[Greg]

The people at Boswell's are just amazing. With the pipe come cleaners, tools, and samples of tobacco (including Christmas Cookie and Berry Cobbler).

[AZsteelman]

one of these days, i'm gonna have to try a pipe...i hate to buy it and then not like it, though...tough decision..

[Greg]

Come on Randy, join the Club. It's the cool thing to do, I'm telling you.

[AZsteelman]

how much to get started?

[Greg]

50 bucks for everything, tobacco tool, cleaner and some tobacco.. Mine was 90, but there are cheaper ones that are very nice.

[AZsteelman]

i dont know...maybe...

[Wasch_24]

Veru nice pipe Greg...I had been eyeing that one all week...thanks for saving me. :thumbsup:

The Boswell's a great people and they make awesome pipes and blend kick-ass tobaccos.

Hey Randy, if you get a Boswell pipe I don't think it would be too hard to unload it if you didn't like it.

[Greg]

:rofl:That's funny because I was afraid that you might have bought it already.:rofl:

[Wasch_24]

:rofl:

[cvm4]

Damn that is a nice looking pipe Greg :thumbsup: I love the ivory colored part (lol..dunno what it's called)

[Greg]

They call it pearlized.

[Boppa-Wasch]

Well Greg, ya done good ma' man! Boswells always treat ya nice. Better than family. I wonder if they would adopt???? Remember, pack gently for Aromatic's. As Todd says, "Just as if you are breathing though a straw." Good Luck and Enjoy!!!!:peace: :thumbsup: Oh! Thanks for saving me$$$$$$. Now I will have to wait til April.:laugh: :crytears: :cryloud:

[Greg]

I wish I had it right now!! It will be here Tuesday though.

[Greg]

Just purchased my second pipe:

[Boppa-Wasch]

Another nice pipe goes to a better place!:flying: :peace: :waving: :thumbsup:

[cvm4]

Looks like another has been bitten by the pipe bug

[Wasch_24]

Very cool Greg!

[sgresso]

I am waiting for my 2006 boswell.
Hopefully the tinderbox will get them soon.

[tobby4]

I love the look of old pipes... some guy in Vegas sitting next to me at the blackjack table was smoking one that looked 50 years old... It smelled great and made me want a cigar, but i have had a cold so couldnt smoke the whole time i was there.....

[geckoheart]

Nice pipe Greg. A Boswell pipe will be in my future. Just smoked 2 bowls of their Christmas Cookie blend- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[IHT]

sorry guys, i don't have the time to post photos of mine over here, but here's a link to a site (some of you know of) where i've posted photos of most of my pipes.

click here (http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=13526&page=4)

i'm thinking of getting another meerschaum, i don't know why i don't smoke my others more (one is too big, the other is too small). and, i'm really wanting a nice "tulip" shaped danish pipe... haven't been able to snipe one for the price i want to pay yet.

[Wasch_24]

I also picked up this sweet free hand spiral at Boswell's Tuesday.

Love the pipe Todd :thumbsup:

[Jwrussell]

Great Pipe Todd!

[CWS]

Very nice pipe. I have six or seven but never seem to find one I really like.

[Greg]

Post pics of those new pipes here!!

[caudio51]

Hall monitor!

[Séamas]

Post pics of those new pipes here!!

I don't want to make you all jealous, but here's one I picked up last month:

http://us.st11.yimg.com/us.st.yimg.com/I/pipes-cigars-tobacco_1921_36396369

It's a "Country Gentleman" corncob, by Missouri Meerschaum, and cost me $4.50. Smokes like a dream. :thumbsup:

[caudio51]

Looks pretty sweet and for 4.50 I would say that is a baragin

[Séamas]

Well, it was meant to be a joke, but actually, cobs are definitely a bargain. They smoke better than the Grabow type briars, and I recommend them for people who want to try pipe smoking without investing a lot of money, or for extra pipes to smoke while your briars are resting, or to take fishing (dropped in the river? who cares?), or whatever.

[Boppa-Wasch]

Anybody else get a new pipe for christmas?

[hunter1127]

Beautiful pipes!!! Happy smoking

[Donk]

nothing for christmas, but not to long ago my father finished up on my "Donk Bulldog" as we call it. A one of a kind just for me though, great smoker, sorry no pics yet

[Mississippi Rifleman]

someone beat me to it. I love the shotgun band on it. I sent them a few emails, but none have been answered.

[Wasch_24]

That's too bad!

[Boppa-Wasch]

Snooze and Looze for sure at Boswells!

[cvm4]

Ya gotta CALL, Ben.

[caudio51]

Yea, give them a ring...they prob get a ton of email

[Boppa-Wasch]

Calling is best!

[Wasch_24]

I think he's got it now guys.

:hysterica

[caudio51]

Todd, do you think he should call maybe???? IDK.... :dunno:

[Wasch_24]

Might be worth a try.

[Boppa-Wasch]

Is it still 10 cents a call???

[Wasch_24]

OMG no!

:rofl:

[caudio51]

Man I don't even know what it is.

I'm gonna guess 35 cents??

[Mississippi Rifleman]

Ya gotta CALL, Ben.

That's easy to do...WHEN YOUR NOT IN A 4 HOUR CONFERENCE CALL! :popeyes: By the time I was off, it was sold.

[cvm4]

Okay, well don't post about it first then :rofl:

[Boppa-Wasch]
