Here is my haul from last weekend at the Columbus Show. I went to the show only intending to buy tobacco and had no pipe plans. No plan survives contact with a pipe show.  Two estate pipes caught my eye. I also found a pipe for a buddy's wife who had me birthday shopping for him. Luckily, all three pipes were from one dealer and he gave me a very nice volume discount. The estates that I got are a Dunhill Root Briar group 1 Billiard and a Savinelli Punto Oro Smooth Natural 627 (discontinued shape). The Dunhill had only been ever smoked with only a couple half bowls! The Dunhill has no year stamp. I'll start a thread with full pics in the Pipes section for the Dunhill experts to discuss. The pipe for my buddy's birthday present was a 1960-80 GBD Prince, shape 357. (He has been given it already.  ) The aged tobacco: 2006 C&D Yorktown (8oz), 3x 2013 GLP Embarcadero (poofy), 2012 McC Blue Mountain (now called Balkan Blue), 2012 McC FMC.  The current production tobacco:  Dunhill Root Briar group 1 Billiard, shape 249: (estate, smoked only a couple half bowls)  Savinelli Punto Oro Smooth Natural 627: (estate)  You the man. Nice haul. |

Nice score, John. There are some Esoterica products at PipeStud's site. Considering normal hawkers' prices his are Jake. However, I got a sampler of Middleton's coming. I really wanted to try the original Hickory. It also has one I have not heard of and a sample of Walnut.
One of these days I'll run across Germain, Esoterica for MSRP and take a plunge.

My P&C order for Customer Appreciation Week finally came in. Thought I'd try a couple new-to-me Lane blends, which somehow stacked with their $1.25 sale, and came out to 75c per oz. Vanilla Black Cav is backordered. And yeah, I had to do the CB Grape thing eventually.... Got the same gift as others, with the cheaper cob - but it's a good small size for tasting, and I'd been planning on getting one. But the free tins are coming soon to a trading block near you....
Lane Limited Very Cherry Bulk 1 oz
Lane Limited TK-6 Bulk 1 oz
Choose 5 Pouches special
1 x Amphora Black Cavendish
1 x Amphora Full Aroma
1 x Missouri Meerschaum American Patriot
1 x Peterson Wild Atlantic
1 x Captain Black Grape
Choose 1 Kit & 5 Tobaccos special
1 x FREE - Taste of Excellence Pipe and Accessories Kit
1 x Gurkha Urban Legend
1 x Hearth & Home Marquee Cerberus
1 x John Cotton's No. 3
1 x Murray's 1A Linfield
1 x Seattle Pipe Club Yakima Valley
Customer Appreciation Gift
1 x Balkan Sasieni
All that came to around $55. A pound of HHVS was backordered, so we'll see if it appears.

It was a rustic Casillero: www.pipesandcigars.com/p/casillero-rustic-pipes/1511601/ (the one on the bottom). Haven't tried smoking it yet but it looks okay. I did some googling and people seem to think they're good smokers. I thought the selection of tobaccos was pretty good for this kind of deal. They also offer it in various aro versions, but the selections aren't as good. At $50 it's a decent deal, at 20% off it was excellent. |

Got the pipe above today. It is even nicer in person. Love it. On side note, the order of a bunch 3 Oaks I made on another forum, never arrived and has been a confusing mess to put it mildly. I will not air out the details here, but will not deal with that person again.

I love the art on those, but Winter's Embrace caused maggots to crawl out of my mouth... then I died

Got a pleasant surprise in the mail today! I won this handmade pipe made by Clark Layton of Sloth Pipes at the Columbus Pipe Show. Since my ride decided to leave the show early, I wasn't there for the drawing, so they mailed the pipe to me. I really wasn't expecting this! Love this pipe!   Thanks again, Clark, for donating the pipe to the drawing! |

While shopping on Amazon for regular stuff, remembered that I needed DRG filters, so ordered a box. Amongst the non-pipe sellers, was 4Noggins, so I ordered from them.

I got thirteen tins of Capstan blue from the great sale going on at 4Noggins...I didn't expect to be doing any shopping with Rich anymore, but for the price, I had a moment of weakness.

I've got this coming from Christopher Pipes in Canada. A lovely Maple Lovat with a rosewood ring. Not a small pipe at about 6 3/8" long and a 2" bowl, with nice thick walls. I have one other of his pipes, a briar bent apple that is a great smoker too. He makes very nice pipes for not a lot of money.  |
