Pipe, Tobacco, and E-Bay Acquisitions

[DubintheDam]

I do love my Neerup, handmade danish quality at real prices, picked two up today for $90 Grade2, new with 9mm filter option, also bought a 420 Savinelli Balsa filters, and 400 Bari charcoal filters, that's like $120 worth of filters, so it's like I got the two pipes for free! Can't upload photo's cause we did the deal by email, and he's taken them of the site already.

There aren't many hand made Danishes you can buy for that price...in fact...none, other than from Peder.

Meerschaum lined pipes on eBay, also Estate Pipes, Pipes, Tobacciana Smoking, Collectables (end time 24-Jan-09 00:14:38 GMT)

just bought this pair of meerschaum lined pipes (one of which is a dr plumb, the other is a very obscure maker that I have never head of!) for £10. I was looking to get into meerschaum so I thought these would be good to start with.

A minto Ben Wade "Martinique" is a real find. Any quality pipe maker can fashion a straight grain pipe, but Preben saw a block of premium briar from a different, artistic view. Nobody has successfully picked up the mantle since his alcohol addiction claimed his life. Ben Wade free-form pipes from the 70's were examples of the master's skill. Even though the model is "Martinique", no two pipes of that model are the same except for the color and features. A "Heather" model always has several flat surfaces and at least two rounded grooves. It is always a light color with tortoise lucite stem. I have a collection of six Ben Wade Danish pipes: Heather, Golden Matt, Ambassador, Danish Hand Made, Unicorn Fawn, and Matt. I have replaced the stems on the Ambassador, Danish hand Made, and Matt because the black stems were definitely inferior to the tortoise lucite ones. I like these pipes because they are different and not "ho-hum" the same old trite shapes of old. They DO smoke better than many pipes I have owned and sold because the bowls all are much thicker briar. If you want to smoke a pipe like everyone else you see, do not smoke a magnificent, restored, unique, estate P.H. Ben Wade pipe!

most sellers start the bids of low and with no reserve. it costs them less in ebay fees somehow.

also, i've seen pipes jump $100 in total price in the last 20 seconds, when most of the real bidders come in to try and snipe 'em.
edit: i've actually been a part of an auction that went from $60 to $210 over the last minute - it was for 5 tins of pipe tobacco that went for $65 a month prior.

[SIZE=5]I have deleted (sold) all my "ordinary pipes" in favor of Ben Wade, Preben Holmes created masterpieces! My largest, tomahawk-shaped pipe Ben Wade "MATT",is having a dark tortoise lucite stem created that matches the original. These are the coolest smoking pipes I have ever owned, and unlike my grandfather's pipes, these are fine examples of a skill owned by one of the most famous pipe designers of our time.[/SIZE]

I've been padding and tadding all over the place, but a few I like to mention are:

My new Caminetto, really light, smokes superbly, if there all this good I'll be buying another.

I added another three tins of Petes Uni Flake, I've revisited this blend of late and it is a pleasure to do so...I'd forgotten how great it is.

Bought and popped some Maduro by McConnells...outstanding light and natural navy blend, highly recommend for a light alternative for those who like a navy blend.

Recently bought and popped some WO Larsen's Curly Cut Flake...superb...light danish with great natural hay and critrus flavor with a danish honey background...a bit like MacB's Mixture but the upmarket version.

And my two latest Neerup's outstanding.
