Your latest pipe/pipe tobacco purchase thread....

But, as a die-hard wet shaver, DE razors from that year are fairly plentiful and well under the $100 mark.

Aw, I appreciate that. But right now at this time of year it just isn't in the budget. In a few months (when Christmas and both my kids' birthdays are out of the way), I'll start looking again. At this point, I don't see them climbing much higher in four to six months from where they are now.

So your gonna make me hunt it down. I see. Remember, I did find Dismal's birth year.

Yeah, but I found (with the help of @3/5King) H3rrington's addy after he moved and posted a picture of his mailbox with the street address.

Creepiest thing I've ever done! I wonder if I can find that thread...

Ah, just found one - near mint and only $600. Ugh...

No way I'll ever buy a pipe at $600!! That's 4 Boswell's or 3 to 4 Tinsky's worth of briar... or a new 12 gauge waterfowl shotgun...

Off topic...those Ikon DE razors have been tempting me for two years now.

Oh brother, I've focused really hard on not buying more razors! If I started doing that, I'd soon have as many razors as I do pipes and then shit gets real!

Fillenwarth off of Ebay that I stole; paid almost nothing. He makes great pipes and this one is seriously CRAGGY

Ha! I must have missed that.
I did that to Lipher early on, too. He claimed he was "safe." 10 minutes later I had tracked down his addy and posted the google street view pic of his mailbox.
I thought it was fun, not creepy in the least!

Yup, that's the guy.

Yup, that's the guy.

He's an awesome guy. I love the two I got from him. Next year you'll be in Rocktoberfest lol

BTW, no break in on these. More like meerschaum. Be sure to wipe out the bowl after.

Oh, and get some mineral oil for the bamboo every once in a while.

Thanks for the tip! Just rub it on the outside? Or do I run it through on a cleaner?

This was his instruction to me to prevent splitting because he leaves his bamboo natural: Pay most attention to the mortise surfaces and the face of the shank. You can run some through the inside and wipe the outside.

In my experience it does make it look nicer. The biggest concern is having the end split though, which is why he really recommends it. Just be careful not to get any of the oil on the stone.

Their picture quality is better than mine. LOL.
