Thank you good sir!

And it is made with grand wormwood again, although in the US, the thujone (a neurotixin derived from wormwood) content can't exceed 10 ppm.

Ferio Tego Summa and Crowned Heads Four Kicks Maduro. Butterfly Absinthe

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...

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...

I needed this like I needed a hole in the head. It’s 8” across and probably 3 or 4 lbs. picked it up at an antique shop for $20.

I bought the Humi Care EH ($85 on CBid) after my 20+ year-old Cigar Oasis died. I ripped out the green foam and put in some Prestige Import crystals. It has been working flawlessly for about 18 months. I don't pay much attention to the digital read out and rely on my Govee app. I also bought an...

My thoughtful daughter gave me this 3-pipe roll for Christmas. Beautiful and very well made. Will make travel to pipe club a lot easier.

For Christmas, the Warden got me a Peterson Christmas Pipe (221) which has been wrapped and hidden. Also picked up a couple items at a junk shop. Dunhill Pipe stand. Sanded down and getting 5-6 coats of Tonge oil and a new cork knocker. Syroco “couch” resin/wood pipe stand. Probably ‘50s or...

I emptied it and I didn't see anything but "MINI" written in chalk on the underside of the top. The only place I didn't think to look was the underside of the bottom.

LOL! That's what prompted this post. I was cleaning out my cigar/pipe hutch and found it. Brought back some great memories. I wish I had the receipt or packing slip for my Aristocrat. I have the documentation but I was trying to figure out when I got it and how much I paid for it.

In December 1996 I won $300 in a football pool and used the nearly all the winnings for a Diamond Crown Jamestown by Reed & Barton. It was the first humidor I owned that wasn’t a mason jar. Back then our rent was $700 a month, so $275 a MINT for us. To use the money for a humidor made me realize...

A fellow club member was selling pipes to benefit his wife’s friend who recently lost her husband. She wanted her husband’s pipes to go to people who would appreciate them. A couple of miscommunications and lost emails, and I ended up with SEVEN of the pipes. No real big names but all in...

Hopefully not 4-6 weeks for you. I returned a lighter in December and got a brand new one (same model) in less than a week. If that lighter is as old as you say, it was made before QI bought Xikar. My guess is they send you a new lighter.

This one serves double duty. Found it at an antique shop for $18. Sanded, refinished and added a new knocker.

I always like to keep one bottle of good rum in the liquor closet at all times so I can switch up the Bourbon and Scotch rotation. Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva is a favorite as is Dos Maderas 5+5. I recently bought a bottle of Zaya Alta Fuerza (up to) 16 y-o, which is extremely boozy at 115...

This is a very cool project. Please keep us updated as you go. I’m a big fan of the Humi-Care. I bought one back in December for my Aristocrat Mini. I pulled out the green floral foam (which got moldy after a few months) and put in Prestige Import 70% Crystal Gel Beads from Amazon. I refill it...

Big ol’ AVO Classic.

Romeo y Julieta Cedros deluxe #3 with a local Bourbon. Cheers to the weekend!
