I've been enjoying my Calabresi Lumberman so much I bought another Calabresi, this time a large saddle billiard. Both are from rna treasures on ebay, who obtained a large amount of the last of the warehouse stock of Tom Cristiano's business, may he RIP. I started following rna treasures on facebook as well and they've been putting up videos of batches of pipes they are about to list on ebay. If you see something you like you can message them and cut a deal before it goes to ebay. That's how I got the saddle billiard with acrylic cumberland stem shown below. Ought to be here in a day or two.
Not really a purchase but I'm not really making any so far this year but received a gorgeous tin of ABF from a kind soul out of appreciation for taking care of some pipes for them.
However, the next day I stopped in a grocery store I happened to be near and found a tub of PA for 21.99, couldn't justify leaving without it.
I havent bought anything in a while , at least that I remember , other than a pouch of an otc here and there . I have a stash and I should keep adding to it but I just havent lately . Th problem has been this ... when I'm in the mood to make an order , its impossible to get the small list of things I want from one etailer , which is a drag . Plus , certain blend I enjoy havent been in stock in some time . And now with McClelland gone .. damn . What was nice about McClelland is that they had product . Had I had known they were gonna up and quit , I'd have bought nothing but Tawny Flake , Easy Street and #24 for years .. lol . Bastards , I swear .
I got bombed with MB 7 seas blends and I wont need an aromatic for some time . The only thing I'd buy at this point is bulk MB GE and a new to me tin to try and stuff Jennifer likes [ Escudo , OGS and Balkan Sasieni ]
My last purchase was Dans Patriot flake , Tawny Flake and an aromatic that is long gone and I forget what it was
