Tobacquisitions for March 2015

Sure IPSD was in February, but some of us may have goodies still on their way. Or some other goodies

Let's see what you got for March!


I picked up a Birthyear Caminetto Sandblasted Dublin. Now, if I only still had that mustachio...






I also got an unsmoked meerschaum lined Kiko Safari pipe, but I don't have the pictures of it.

Nice to know I have my PAD well under control compared to a lot of you gents. lol

I stopped by a local cigar shop to buy a tamper and my wife asked why I didn't just buy another pipe. Can't argue with that. I'm new to pipe smoking so I have no idea how good or bad it is but I like it lol.

Well, if you like it a lot than it is clearly a good pipe! I agreee though, good looking shape--how does it smoke?

I can't say for certain since I'm still new but I would say it smokes good. I have problems keeping it lit but that also happens with my Grand Duke so it's an issue with me not the pipe.

txskimo, welcome to the B&B, and also to the Brown Leaf. There will be lots of advice and help for you here in all things tobacco. We really are a friendly bunch.

If I send you my address, will your wife write mine a letter?

On edit: I have been thinking- your wife really said this, right? I would be worried if I were you

You are a fortunate man in many ways sir. Congrats.

She does put up with a lot and doesn't say to much about my many hobbies/interest

Txskimo, welcome to the BL! Sounds like you have a keeper. I like the shaping of that pipe.

Love the shape of that pipe.

I bit the bullet and picked up this contraption. With the exchange rate in my favor and free shipping I figured that I save roughly $50 US over the going domestic rate. Excited and interested to see how it smokes.

Radiator pipe? I saw them in youtube, and I look forward to your review.

I'll echo everyone else's thoughts and say that I am very interested in hearing your thoughts about it.

Curious if form follows function with that pipe. Looks different but engaging. Modern style with the rustication blends the traditional with a new take on pipes.

I would like to see some more pics......

Some of these more "artistic" smoking contraptions almost need different names. "Smoking handle" perhaps? Regardless, jealousy ensues...

To all of the above.... I am quite pleased to invoke such responses, as I kind of expected (and hoped) that it would. I will do a full breakdown and review in a new thread in the next week or two, so keep your eyes peeled. While radiator pipes are not a new thing, this one seems to be fairly well thought out. I will post plenty pictures and explanations, etc in the thread once I've had a chance to put it through its paces. Thanks for the interest...

My P&C package arrived yesterday.
