What's your latest Pipe and tobacco purchase?

[Garris]

Brigham Pipe Mountaineer shape #09 and some McCelland Holiday Spirit baccy!!

I picked up a Tin of EU Blended Night Cap. This is another one that seemed like a must try, although I do not know if, or how, it differs from the British origin tins.

Also went to the local B&M, and asked him for for a weeks worth of his two best selling blends. Figured I would try what the locals are loving.

I did pick up an apparantly unsmoked Nording, I'm guessing it was manufactured in 1985, from the stamping on the bottom.
Still need to break this one in.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am a new pipe smoker. It is a fun and rewarding endeavor learning as I go.

OH! I also have a Nording being held that I will get on 1 Jan. I find it very attractive, and am looking forward to seeing how it smokes.

Garris was a great gent and graced me with a tin of this for Christmas... smokes very nice... cool, with a definite English room note... intuitively you'd think this a "soft blend" for the last pipe of the day before bed, but it's robust enough to be the last pipe of the day, so no matter what you smoke all day long, this will leave a good impression.

Thats a great looking pipe!

 

[wavescrashing]

Just got my tin of McClelland's 07 Christmas Cheer in the mail today. I've never tried it. Can't wait to crack it open. :thumbs:

My parents bought me a nice 8-pipe rack, a wooden pipe rest, and leather pipe/tobacco travel case. And my dad gave me his old finger tip tamper.

Pics to follow whenever I get around to uploading.

Two that I recently picked up. The first one is a Nording "one clover" what ever that means. Haven't found any info on that particular marking yet. In fact, it seems that even Nording himself has forgotten some of the "grading" particulars.

Still looking for a good reference book.

 

[bigwhiteash]

Just picked up this estate Calabash Gourd from fleabay... It may be the nicest smoking pipe in the stable!

 

[MadMonk]

My latest purchase. It is made by Nording. I thought it was mighty pretty, and loved the "fat" walls, and dramatic grain.

I am still learning how to use a digital camera, so images really are lacking in showing the true detail and depth of the grain and finish.

edit: still learning how to type too.

Nice pipes, fellas. A decent estate gourd calabash is on my list after I pick up a decent meer.

:thumbs:

Me, too!

Nice pipes, indeed. I'm about ready for a new one. Just missed one I wanted on eBay but I had to work and got outbid, dammit!

 

[Macion Grey]

Bloody nice pipes Dan. Hey, where did you find the EU Nightcap? I wanna try some too.

I dont have one myself but I have heard nothing but glowing reviews of the baki meers.

I've looked at them and they look very well made and have a good rep. I just can't decide on a design or shape. Every time I think I have a decision made, I see something else that changes my mind. :laugh:

 

[Q_The_Cop]

Just picked yup a tin of Peterson's Irish Flake. WOW that's some strong chit! But very tasty!
