Had to do a safety audit in Chicago so took a side trip to Iwan Ries. They are having their Sept. sale so I picked up a couple of pipes that were in my price range. A Ben Wade and a Rattrays. Pretty cool shop if you are into pipes. Unfortunately it also cost 12 bucks to park but I have been wanting to check this shop out for the longest. They have the largest pipe and pipe tobacco selection that I have ever seen. This is the Ben Wade. I smoked it today with some Mac Baren and enjoyed it although Im a little under the weather so didnt get much flavor.
Nice pickups.
