Thread: Pipe of the Day

Hey Mick,
my Grandfather usually went with Amphora brown, so i naturally began with that when he introduced me to pipes as a teenager. These days i tend to go for the cherry cavendish type tobacco. Anyhoo, if the pipe shop is good i'd love to hear where it is. i haven't bought a new one in about 15 years.

I will post a picture if I do get a new pipe of course. Currently trying out Amphora tabacco (not really liking it so far either, mores the pity) so I don't know if I will start the break in process if I do get one. It will depend on how bad I want to try the pipe out. Can ya tell, I'm looking forward to tomorrow?

G'day Adam, the pipe shop wasn't there due to refurb at the 'Wintergarden' (As far as I know, it just may no longer be there) There is another that was closed when I went to have a look that day, but from what I could see thay didn't have anything of a real worth. There is a place at Redcliffe, the 'Free Choice' tobaccanist, that should be able to get something in for you. It seems most people are only stocking cheap chinese made pipes or Falcon pipes. You could ask at the place in Redcliffe if you can get in before 10AM, when the lady that runs the show is there. She is supposed to be the one to talk to about pipes.
Now since I mentioned cheap chinese pipes, here is a photo of my most recent acquisition. An AZTEC pipe on the smaller side of things. I've been on the hunt for a small briar to rplace my other cheap chinese briar that served me well for a number of years. I've started breaking this one in over the weekend, and it doesn't seem too bad at all. And as a matter of preference, I usually smoke Cherry Cav myself.

SG FVF in a falcon pipe to wind down the weekend and move on to the week...

Good morning friends.
I start this day with a Les Wood.

I belive that if we talk nice to each other here... All of us are more than willing to help each other out... Providing NO laws are broken...

Thank you for the kind offer, . This morning I've visited an smoking and writing store named "Elizburu" in Pamplona, and they have some Corn Cobs (made in USA) among the Stanwells and Petersons ,....I've tried it this morning and it's comfortable and easy, the best pipe for its price,... Great buy, thanks a lot my friends

I'm sitting here thinking that it has been an awfully long time since I truly kicked in some real old school American pipe smoking. I think a 14 ounce tub of some serious Codger Burley is in my future. Although Prince Albert is the clear front runner, I've promised myself for ages I would try some Granger so yeah, Granger will probably get the nod. It just doesn't get any more codger than this
