You are the one that snagged it dang it. Ever since I have restored pipes for you I have had my eyes on these. I almost clicked the button on this one but got distracted and when I came back it was gone. Great score! Enjoy.Unbelievable eBay score, new old stock Ascorti from the 70s for $90!
Sorry bro! Here is another one I was looking at, go ahead if you want to

Thanks Jim!
Since I got some pipe tobacco sent to me and I’ve never smoked a pipe I’m gonna see if my local store has corn cobs and give it a try.
Watch a few YouTube videos on “how to pack a pipe” & “ how to smoke a pipe” first. It will make it a more enjoyable experience. Also, don’t expect to get the same full draw/ smoke intake & output as you do from a cigar.
@Yakcraz is right. It can be a little frustrating at first but stick with it, it’s totally worth it once you get it figured out.

Is it more flavorful? Also I have heard that it’s more light fluffy smoke then heavy cigar smoke
Definitely a lighter smoke. As far as flavor & room note profile, it really depends on what you’re smoking. I much prefer cigars when I have the time & weather is good. But a good bowl of tobacco on a nice cool/cold evening or morning is really satisfying sometimes.
Grab yourself a cob and give it a try. Walgreens around here carries a couple styles of the Missouri Meerschaum cob pipes for between $5-$10. That way if you decide you don’t like smoking a pipe you’re not out much money. I personally love my cob pipes and probably smoke them more than my briars. If you need help there are more than enough brothers on here that will point you in the right direction.

Very nice
