Tobacquisitions February 2016

I went to Petoskey with my girlfriend today, and made a stop at Pete's Pipes. All I ended up getting there was two ounces of a blend called Gaslight (due to their location in the downtown "Gaslight District"). It's a basic Cavendish blend, like Captain Black or 1Q.

I also picked up a plug of Days Work at Wal-Mart, just to see how it smokes.

Received a sweet Trevor Talbert Ligne Bretagne paneled blasted billiard. The pipe weighs only 18g--it's a featherweight!

Why do I think that "Day's Work" is chewing tobacco?

Who makes those?

Not sure - i ordered them from amazon.de. You might want to check the .com site - search for PET containers for cosmetics. Make sure that they have the seal in the lid (kind of a foam disk).

Thank you for the enabling assistance, my friend.

It really is in much better shape than that original picture he sent - no char, just some darkening. It looks great, much better than my meager photography skills were able to show.

I don't know it still looks a little sketchy. You should sent it here and I'll give it a makeover

Here's a professional representation:

Some rim darkening, and a little coloration on the bowl, but this is much closer to what it looks like in person.

Tempting.

It's gorgeous price. I don't know what media he's using to get the suede effect. But it's simply wonderful
