Re: Pipe Acquisitions 2019
I just bought a Tilshead bent billiard on eBay. Probably shouldn't have. Now, I have to pick another pipe to add to the "sell" pile. But I swear, dollar for dollar (I have paid around fifty bucks for each of mine), these things are just remarkable.
I don't always choose sig lines just to tick someone off, but when I do, it's on CPS.

There are many terrible attributes of the lowly cob. Not the least of them is that it makes you look like a doof.

Well I'm at 2 for January and 3 for 2019. Does that mean I win?

I tend to find the doctrinal books often more helpful in devotion than the devotional books.... I believe that many who find that "nothing happens" when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a rough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.

I'm glad that one made it to you. It triggered me something fierce.

Re: Pipe Acquisitions 2019
Well I didn't make it very long...not even through the 2nd month of the year and I have a new/estate pipe headed my way. I made a lowball offer and they accepted it...so I have a Wally Frank Billiard winging its way to Colorado.

Re: Pipe Acquisitions 2019
I mean, when they accept a low ball offer it's kinda like they're paying you to take it. You'd be silly not to, right?Bloodhound wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 9:27 amWell I didn't make it very long...not even through the 2nd month of the year and I have a new/estate pipe headed my way.

I have examined this year's St Patrick pipes by Peterson. My fast is not at risk.

I got a Mark Twain cob as my first serious cob-mod.
I have accidentally destroyed the shank.
I've tried a few DOZEN fix actions to no avail.

This showed up 3 days early, opened it last night. It is in fantastic condition. It took about 10 min to clean up and I will give it a smoke tonight.Bloodhound wrote: ↑Fri Feb 22, 2019 9:27 amWell I didn't make it very long...not even through the 2nd month of the year and I have a new/estate pipe headed my way.
