So how do you like the Dunhill Baby's Bottom?

I like it quite a bit. Generally I'm too frugal (cheap) to buy tins. I usually go for bulk, but every now and again I treat myself. I get Early Morning Pipe and 965 in bulk but unfortunately I have to get GL Pease Robusto in a tin. That is my main daily smoke along with the EMP.

Dunhill Aperitif, and London Mixture (tins) are also great stuff, GL Pease Blackpoint, Dunhill Nightcap and Gawith & Hoggarth Rum Flake or Bosun's Flake (rubbed out) I also have a stash of Samuel Gawith Full VA Flake that I traded some razors for. That is about the extent of my 'tobacco cellar' though you guys tempt me with Bayou Mornings and other blends so far unknown to me here in the Florida 'sticks'.

Hehe Jimmy, tempting each other is what this thread is all about. Oh and you say your frugal, well there is nothing frugal about that treasure chest of pipes you been posting around here, talk about temptation.

Well 35 years of good taste. I could easily spend the next 35 years collecting basket pipes hehe. You and A pipe guy spared no expense it seems. you got a lot of Rolls Royces in your garage I must say I am very happy to look at them. Last time I took a stroll into the Davidoff shop or De la Concha Tobacconist in NYC I walked out with sticker shock haha.

Yeah, some of them were fairly high priced, but I probably haven't bought 10 'new' unsmoked pipes in my life. When I was introduced to ebay in 1999 I had something like 18 pipes that I had gotten over a 10 year period. I had no interest in getting any more, and hadn't been in a tobacconist's in years. I discovered 'estate' pipes on ebay and the rest is history .........

35 years well spent I'd say Jimmy. You have a treasure trove.

Honed a couple of straight razors and enjoyed a new favorite tobacco which goes by the name of Aperitif all to a fellow pipe lover here.
Enjoyed the Dunhill in my Ries blackruf bent billiard from reborn briar.

Just for the record, I've put my pipes together over the last 40 years. I saved all year and then would buy three and once in a while four a year at the pipe shows, mainly estates. Only bought one in the last 8 years and that too was an estate. Now that I have what I want in pipes, I'm pretty content.

Ok tonight I revisit a bowl of C&D Exclusive a Perique bomb of a tobacco that has got a little bit of age on it and I must say really is good if you can stand 50% Perique in a blend. I imagine this blend probably being really awesome after a few years and I thank apipeguy for introducing it to me. As they tin says not for the faint of heart but worth every enjoyable puff. Smoked it in my large Rattray's Kyloe Canadian with some bourbon on the side very satisfying. Gearing up for memorial day even though I got to work that day my heart is with the fallen and thank all the brothers that served this great country and still do. Enjoy your weekend gents.
