Just picked up a new Ardor, fresh from New Orleans:

Can anyone point me to what shape this might be?
[Reply]

Not sure what shape it is but that's a SWEET pipe! :-)

I don't know what shape it is, but its a nice looker Nate...:-)
[Reply]

Nice, that's a very interesting pipe. :-)

Been waiting for the right one to show up for a couple of years. Not sure what possessed me to get the thin-walled ultra-light old-style Pete army mount barrel, the one with a history of cracking or burning out, but they've always called my name - just never got lined up with the right one at the right price at the right time. Bingo, Ebay! For only a few bucks more than a new, unappealing, discounted non-army version - poof - it's here. Unsmoked and fishtail, not Pfui-Lip, bit; one tiny ounce...

Perfect with MacBarens Navy Flake. I am liking this little guy for sipping a sweet 30-min+ smoke.

Snagged this ST Dupont Zulu off of smokingpipes last week.

Apparently it was part of Aaron Spelling's estate (creepy looking guy who produced Dynasty, Beverly Hills 90210, Melrose Place and TJ Hooker).

Smoked a bowl of Black Parrot in there last night and it was sweet.

Nice pickup Scott, but I have to ask. Why didn't you spring for the rest of the estate?

Hopefully, you have a back-up pipe Dan if the above occurs:-):-)

Nice purchase BTW...

Just starting the Pipe thing so I got a inexpensive pipe for $13 (wholesale cost).
Im not too sure what it is or who makes it. The only markings on it are ""Made in Greece", so its probly an elcheapo. But thats what I was looking for. I didn't and couldn't spend a whole lot of money right off the bat.

Any help on this would be appreciateve.

My first meerschaum finally arrived in the mail from Turkey. An IMP XXL. This thing even dwarfs my Savinelli Hercules.

That is a great looking pipe!!! Nice pickup!!

[quote=DropTheE;960244] Thank you everyone for the compliments... Its my first ardor, and I am loving it. The guy who runs my local Tinderbox picked it up while in New Orleans at the trade show, and I fell in love..

My second pipe is just a simple cheap little corn cob, but it's going to survive a lot longer than the last little pipe I had (it only survived two weeks til it got broke.) I'm thinking of getting a churchwarden made, and if I do, I'll post up pictures up when I get it.

[quote=nater;960584] Very nice! Ardor is a pipe brand I'm interested in trying out.
[Reply]

So I stopped by a B&M I had heard about and noticed they had a lot of pipes and decided to give one a try.

This was the tobacco that they recommended:
Barrister – We’ve improved the traditional English blend! You’ll still get the natural “woodsy” taste of Latakia, but not its unpopular aroma thanks to just a touch of the perfect aromatic flavoring. This is a perfect fusion blend or the smoker on the fence between aromatic and non-aromatic blends.

[Reply]
