Now I have to add a #13 to my Tinsky collection. [emoji106] [emoji41]And, I also had a couple of goodies waiting for me at home when I got back from the show.
First is a custom Tinsky size 5 tanblast [URL=http://badgerandblade.com/vb/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=13]#13 [/URL] shape low slung bulldog with a handout cut Cumberland stem.

The Tinsky is naturally a beauty, but that Dr Bob's pipe is ticking off all the right boxes for me. I really like that one. Great haul btw. I'm tempted to try and get out to Vegas next year after your's & Price's posts....Keep em coming fellas!
Seattle Pipe Club's 2015 Pipe of the Year, made by Radice, which was also offered to New York Pipe Club members. I ordered one in July, and chose the Radice Rind finish with a smooth top.
The Zeppelin pipe I ordered a month ago never arrived, so I ordered another. Still trying to get the hang of it. It smokes really wet, and is really hard to keep lit. Looks nice, though.

Don't pay too much. A lot of online reviews say they smoke hot and wet, and are hard to keep lit. My experience with the two I have bears this out. This new one is the worst of the two. I still have to experiment with packing and drying, but it's awfully finicky. I would like to try a Vauen Zeppelin too, but the prices for those are pretty outrageous, especially considering my previous experience with Zeppelins.I'm always intrigued by those, just never have pulled the trigger. I think you've inspired pipe acquisition disorder again. LOL.
