I missed this earlier Smurph. I've bought pipes from Italy, England, and Germany with no problems. I've also gotten other items from Russia, Lithuania, Czech Republic and Turkey with no problems. Sometimes you have to sign for the items but that's the only negative I've experienced.

My latest ...and first Ebay Pipe acquisitions.

I was waiting for a new set of Cobra pipes for my Vulcan 900 Custom and since they weren't coming as quickly as I had hoped (ordered from USA), I decided to order some other 'pipes' on Ebay .

Here there are. Still waiting to find a Peterson 302 or 314 smooth but I may just have to go buy one locally and pay the piper. Hey... where did that come from? 'pay the piper' - anyone? anyone? Bueller?... Bueller?

Ben Wade "Prominence" straight grain

Brebbia go-go (a bit small but thought it looked neat )

Kaywoodie Super Grain #61

And lastly I decided to try a Zippo Pipe lighter...


Everything for about $85. Not bad

Nice pickups enjoy

thanks 8ball...

If it smokes as good as my other Dunhill it may get worn out from use. i really gravitate to the Dunhills not so much on looks but on "the experience" this one may pull me in for both reasons. It will be cleaned and rested between smokes and babied. Yes it might very well become one of my favorites.

Thanks to all for the pipe comments.

I also just scored an 8oz tin of G.L. Pease Bohemian Scandel on ebay. Assuming all goes right and the seller is legit and I receive it O.K.
I payed $70 for it including shipping. Much less than I have seen it go for and only twice the amount of what current Pease offerings are selling for in 8oz size.

I just placed my monthly order with smokingpipes. This month is as follows

MacBaren
Virginia No. 1 16oz
Symphony 100g x 5

Esoterica
Peacehaven 16oz
Tilbury 8oz
Tilbury 2oz

Wessex
Burley Slice 50g

Solani
Silver Label - 660 100g x 2

This is not a new acquisition. It is an old estate Sasani 4 dot I picked up a couple of years ago. It was cheap, the stem was gray, the bowl was caked...it was pretty much a giant mess. It cleaned up nice though!!!



Though I am trying to find a few of my pipes. Just do not know where I put them. I am missing a Charatan, Big Ben, Boswell and a Peterson. Though I did find a five year old tin of McClellands Virginian #27 while looking for them. I am sure they will turn up.

So you can buy pipe tobacco on Ebay to? I thought it was just pipes. Anyways I was wondering if someone can someone help me. I want to buy a nice pipe, nothing to crazy I don't want to spend that much. Just a pipe with a curve to it, maybe a few of the tools I need as well. Any tips on what to look for on Ebay? I have no idea were to start...
