Found this on eBay
Didn't buy it but its cool.

The weeks tobacco.

Erik Stokkebye's personal favorite! Bright Virginias, light brown Burleys and a touch of Black Cavendish combined to create perfect harmony. A naturally sweet tasting blend, the soft, creamy vanilla adds to the elegant room notes.  The 1957 has more Virginia tobaccos which makes it a little more creamy.

Germain's Eighteen Twenty
Named after the year in which the company was founded this mixture of top grade Cyprus Latakia Oriental and Flue cured tobacco 

Metal pipe collection

My straight Falcon
Swapped Rufus Alife for the bent Falcon,Mystery pipe and a Alco pipe
for custom Falcon bowls i made.
I forgot to include the Ronson pipe i posted about before
If anyone has metal pipes to swap for custom Falcon bowls let me know.
I can also make bowls to fit other metal pipes. 

Does anyone know what the top pipe is ?
