BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I pulled in a number of sets, too. $22/7 tins. Figured I had to.

Yeah, probably have enough DE baccy to last a lifetime.
Not sure what I was thinking as those aros will probably age out before I get through them all. Maybe they'll be collector's items some day!
Ammunition!
Yeah, "maybe" LOLOLOLOL
Only had meat pie, and it was OK. I have a few tins of others, but I have way too much open right now as it sits. At that price I'd say it's worth it even if you didn't like it and traded it away.

Smoke it if ya got it!
I love me some d e! I had no idea they made pipe tabbaco! awsome
I was shocked too. And they have I think a pipe or two out as well. Slowly expanding into the pipe world it seems. Unless they've been there like that since day 1. I think it's pretty awesome.
Their so different, it's like I HAVE TO HAVE ONE. Just because of that reason. Damn marketing!

It really is nice work, but it's made by Tsuge in Japan, it's going to be nice. Only problem is they are deliberately overpriced knowing full well their going to sell because of their cigar fame. I think you can buy the original Tsuge E-Star for $50-75 less with no DE branding on it.
(yet, I own the DE Robusto, not the E-Star
)Of course. They have to make their money somehow. And their cigar fame is bumping them up in the piping world too. I'd pay the cheaper one if I didn't have the money for the other with the branding.It really is nice work, but it's made by Tsuge in Japan, it's going to be nice.

Can you use tobacco in the E-Star to "filter" the smoke like the DE pipe Clint? If yes - do you enjoy that option on your pipe?It really is nice work, but it's made by Tsuge in Japan, it's going to be nice.

Yup, it's literally the same design, less the metal rim to screw in the threaded DE logo cover. Looks to be the size/shape of the DE Churchill, but with a longer stem. I don't think I've seen the original Tsuge done like the Robusto or Belecosa though. Mine is the Robusto.
Not too be confused with the Tsuge Tankard, though. The Tankard has the metal rim cap but doesn't have the separate drying compartment beneath the bowl.
