Smoking a corn dog in aviators and a top hat
A matched set of Zippos. Nothing special about them. I picked up the standard at Tractor Supply, and the pipe lighter at the county fair last night.
Not pictured are two pipe nails I also picked up to replace the one that I lost.

Two estate acquisitions have come in. Both are coral dot era Ser Jacopos
This rusticated Dublin with briar accented stem
And this smooth "Flatus" apple.

Both are sweet pipes!
I have a coral dot billiard I really like... except the coral dot fell out! I bought it that way, so I got a pretty good deal, but I need to fix it at some point.

Thanks. They're both smoking really well. I have to say Ser Jacopo is becoming a favorite of mine.
I'm sure that could be related with some red acrylic. I think I've seen that pipe before. It's beautiful.

Sweet! Making up for lost time and building a cellar.
I'm curious about the Pegasus, have you had it before?
Damn! It must be good to be home huh.
that's about three to four years purchasing for me here in Australia. Build that cellar!- Thread starter

I sold some estate pipes to smoking pipes.com and received a substantial credit to their store. I've been waiting to slowly build the cellar for some time.
I also got a new to me Cavicchi sandblasted apple.
I went to my local B and M yesterday (Timothy's Fine Cigars in Bay City, MI) with the intention of getting a couple low end cigars to take with me, and a $8 stick to smoke in the lounge.
In the past his pipe tobacco and pipes has been promising, but somewhat overpriced: Peterson pipes, Peterson, Ashton, Drew Estate, and a small number of McClelland tins at $14-$18 per tin, and around 8 Lane bulks at $4 an ounce.
I went in yesterday, and he know has Peterson in bulk, bringing his bulks to 20 blends, the new Peterson pouch tobacco, and the 2015 Peterson Christmas Pipes ($120 each). I was beyond floored, what a pleasant surprise!!
The Peterson bulks are $6 an ounce, so I walked out with 1oz each of Sherlock Holmes, Irish Oak, and Connisours Choice. So much more enjoyment in this $18 of pipe tobacco than the equivalent amount of cigars! 3 hours of smoking enjoyment, vs 30 hours with the pipe tobacco!!

gorgeous cavicchi! I've heard they're amazing smokers, and I hope to add one to the herd at some point.
Castleford 5-piece reamer set.
Got myself a Gardesana. There's a good chunk missing from the mouthpiece, but it's smoke-able with a softee bit on it. Had to remove at least a quarter inch of caking from the bowl.

He's been performing really well. I'm very happy with this pipe.
