I'm going to have to clean it up a bit and replace the knob on the drawer but it's in good shape.
I was surprised it was made using dove tail joints and glue. Not a nail in it.

That’s the reverse of the old George Jones song, “The One I Loved Back Then” (The Corvette Song).🙂

Re: The Loot! - What's your latest tobacco purchase?
@motie2 I do like the nordings, I just haven't been able to get myself to spring one. For a similar price, I think I would be more inclined to grab one of Rattrays Ahoy pipes. Thicker stem but similar appearance.

Re: The Loot! - What's your latest tobacco purchase?
@Montecristo mine was $50-60 brand new, I cant recall exactly and am too sorry to look it up. I know the standard Nording Compass (colored metal wrap on the bowl) are like $50 depending on the source. I liked the exposed briar bowl much better aesthetically but I think they are about the same price. it is way lighter than expected and the bowl is quite small. Given I rarely get 1+ hours to smoke a bowl I think that'll be a good thing for me. Packing it may be a little bit of a learning experience and i'm anxious to see if it is a good bowl for virginias given i've heard anecdotally that tall slender bowls are better for them.

That’s a pretty nice Pete knockoff. It looks as good as any standard Pete, better than some.

Re: Pipe refinishing
@Zouave1864 thanks I thinks its pretty rough but but for a first go i can live with it. I've learned a lot and that's worth something. @RockyMountainBriar I need to acquire some 400 and 600 grit and some buffing compound. my time with it has been sporadic so i've yet to pull the tricker on the materials. It'll be a fine smoker I think once it is done even if it looks a little rough.

Re: What are you guys smoking right Now?
Just opened a tin of Esoterica Tobacciana Dorchester that I purchased five years ago this month from Iwan Ries & Co. The tin note of Welch's grape jelly and prunes is awesome. Very smooth and understated but very few re-lights.
