Picked up a Corona Old Boy lighter today, as well as a new three pipe stand. With my recent pipe purchases, I'm currently two pipes over my spots of stands, so I figured I'd resolve that.

Also grabbed some W.O. Larsen tobaccos. Really like the 2010 edition, I'll see how the 2011 edition matches up.

My venture into pipes. Got this from a local pipe shop. Just ordered tins of early morning pipe and nightcap, navy flake, and a cheap pipe lighter. Off I go down another slope possibly. I'm looking to get another pipe this weekend so I can dedicate one to English and one to virginia.

Today I ordered my first batch of Pipe Tobacco that isn't the cheapest Black Cav around or blends by local stores. A local pipe maker passed a friend of mine a blend of Latakia, Orientals, and Virginians (Butera's Royal Vintage Latakia #2) and I loved it, so I decided to go ahead and get on into good pipe tobacco. About time. The first three of these were suggested to me personally by people on this forum, so thank you.

4 oz of Cornell & Diehl "Haunted Bookshop"
4 oz of Hearth & Home Anniversary Kake
1 Tin of Dunhill Early Morning Pipe
1 Tin of Seattle Pipe Club Seattle Evening

Now I will eagerly check the mail every day, waiting with ready pipe for the day that my new Pipe Tobacco arrives.

Latest fleabay find. My first Boswell. Sharpest looking pipe I own. I can not wait to finish cleaning her up. Do I owe it to the pipe to order some Boswell tobacco to break her in with or just go with my favorite stuff thats local?

That is a beautiful pipe! I want one!

I say go with what you like! If it's Boswell then do it!

Thank you. Have not tried any boswells yet. I Keep looking there every month to try to find a fresh pipe and always miss out. Saw this one on the bay and couldnt pass it up. They do have some great pipes and some of their house blends do not sound half bad.

Placed an order with the Boswell's earlier today. Ordered the following: Berry Cobbler, Vanilla Cream, Raspberry Cream, and of course Northwoods. While I don't normally smoke aromatics I decided to order some to hopefully please my roommates.

Bought a tin of Royal Yacht, and bid on a nice pipe on ebay that I have my eye on to replace the cob I have been doing a trial with :-)

After starting down another slope, and after a few ( yea right ) bowls in a cob, I went and bought my first real pipe, showed up today, couldnt find much about it but it looked cool :-)

a Wilbur B Driver Co never smoked, with the bag, box, ect.. supposed to be from 40's? Not sure about that but still thought it looked good. :-)
