    Always good when a new B&M opens!

    New shop in my hometown opened today. I picked up a couple nice smokes from a well stocked walk-in. Liga, Davidoff, Fuente, Ferio Tego, Perdomo, Ashton, CAO, Dunbarton just to name a few. Some real high-end, limited editions too. I was amazed at the single stick inventory and the back up box...

    1950s Vintage Ashtray Stand

    I found away to hide the nut and bolt holding the ashtray together and keep with the decor of the stand. Tobacco tin cap fits perfectly.

    1950s Vintage Ashtray Stand

    Found this ceramic and brass stand for $20 at an antique shop yesterday. It was missing the ashtray but I had the big glass one that I picked up a few months ago in mind when I saw it. I was going to attack the brass with Simichrome, but I think I’m going to keep the patina. Th boss likes it!

    I found an unsmoked Dr. Grabow Starfire #27 and this crazy Venturi “the pipe” Feather Rock at a local antique store. The Feather Rock seemed to be made of stone and research made me think it could have been a rare Meerschaum. Somebody on Reddit ID’d it. It’s made of resin and has a pyrolytic...

    I have been looking for a reasonably priced vintage Nimrod lighter in good condition but couldn’t find one that floated my boat. I picked up this replica from Amazon for $30 and I’m very happy with it. I was comparing with a buddy’s vintage version and we were both impressed. It’s solidly built...

    Another humidifier source

    Bob is the best. My Aristocrat Mini is almost 25 years old now and just a beautiful piece of furniture. I'm sure his humidification units carry the same quality as his cabinets.

    Thought I’d start a new thread since the old one is dated two years ago. Here are before and after pics of two local antique store finds. The capped pipe is an unbranded Italian Briar and the squat bulldog is a Kaywoodie Campus pipe. They cleaned up nicely! Baraccini Mare Blu 313 I got as a...
