Tobacquisitions for November 2015

Got a lot of goodies from the Saint Sue auction in October. But that was last month.

So I picked up a coral era Ser Jacopo Rowlette billiard with a horn insert. My affinity for SJ pipes grows with each acquisition.



What do you fine gents have to show for this month?

A beat up old Zeppelin pipe for me.

This weekend we went to Ann Arbor for the Michigan vs Rutgers game. We had some time to roam around town before the game, so I made a point to visit Maison Edwards, a tobacco shop I'd heard of. It's a nice little shop. And it is little. They don't have a whole lot, but they do have a nice selection of tinned tobaccos. Dunhill, McClelland, Peterson. I ended up buying their house cherry blend. Wish I'd gone with Dunhill. The cherry wasn't impressive.

Right next door to Maison Edwards was an antique shop, where I found this old MM cob. It's almost a shame to smoke it, but I'm going to.

Nice haul, Price!

Thanks! West Coast Pipe Show in Las Vegas this weekend. Had a blast, and only went a little over budget.

First is a custom Tinsky size 5 tanblast #13 shape low slung bulldog with a handout cut Cumberland stem.



Second is a brick of Peretti's Thanksgiving Day.

Dude...seriously???

Very impressive spree you're on.

WOW Micah! I think its getting close to time for either an intervention or maybe a warehouse. LOL That's an amazing haul for a single weekend. ENJOY!

Yeah, I had he Tinsky on order for a while, but I think I'm pretty much done for a while with the big pipe show blowout. In fact I'll likely just focus on doing most of my pipe buying at the show each year.

The Tinsky No. 13 looks awesome!

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!

I ran across this old Sasieni 4-dot Walnut on the popular auction site. In pretty rough shape with no stem. Something told me it had potential, so I won it for $13. I made a stem, cleaned and polished it up and ended up with a pretty nice pipe for <$15 total.
