No idea. Not one of those huge ones, that's for sure.

I'm a 68 vintage, too.
What a score. Well done.

P&C order day! Yay!
I got a P&C catalogue about a month ago, and it had a Stanwell Brushed Black bulldog on the cover. While I'm not a big fan of rustication, that was a sharp-looking pipe. After reading some Stanwell reviews, I finally got around to ordering a Brushed Black. Not the bulldog (this time....), but they had a few that really caught my eye. I'll be getting more. Spent the extra $1 for the pipe stand. Don't know why; I have nowhere to put it. I also picked up a tin of Nording Hunter Labrador.

I don't usually go for ornately carved meerschaums, much less figurals, but when I saw this beauty it was love at first sight, she has been well used and mistreated (broken amber stem) but is in overall excellent condition for her age (other than the stem), will be sending her out for a new stem this week...
Picked up a box of Las Calaveras. Good cigar and I like the story behind them. Hopefully next year's is as good.
Very cool, Aaron.
Stonehaven!?

First tobacquisition since starting with pipes:
1Q, Mac Baren Vanilla cream, Frog Morton's cellar, MM Legend, MM Pony Express
1Q, Mac Baren Vanilla cream, Frog Morton's cellar, MM Legend, MM Pony Express
Good buys!, I really enjoy my MM Cobs and Cellar and 1Q are great. Have yet to try the MB Vanilla Cream.
This is my first dabble into aromatics, I tried the 1Q and I enjoyed it. It gave me flashbacks of a tin of vanilla-cased mini cigars someone bought me as a souvenir from a trip to the Dominican Republic nearly 10 years ago. This weekend I will break in the MM Legend with Frog Morton 
I don't usually use the word "awesome" but I do believe it fits in this situation. Congratulations on a very nice find.
+1 That's a great start. I enjoy the vanilla cream from time to time and the frog, well she's timeless. Well done.
I am on a pipe purchasing sabbatical. .... ;-)

Brother, if you gotta be on a sabbatical, you're doing it right.
I was cruising the Bay this afternoon to find some used equipment for work and the ebay bots showed me this beauty. Gave me a real bad case of gotta have it and since I've been wanting to get a morta I couldn't resist.
