    I have 20 tins of Holiday Spirit plus a few Mason jars full. I'll probably smoke everything I have jarred before I crack another tin of any McClelland.

    Trying out the Chicagoland Pipe Collectors Club "New Century" this morning.  I picked up 2 tins of this, along with some Frogs the other day while trying to get some of the last of the McClelland made.  I'd never seen this before.  Boy, do I wish I'd seen this before!  Very nice Balkan.  Similar in some ways to On the Town & 5110.  I mention this because I wonder if it may fly a little under the radar at B&M's and still be available for those of you who may be interested.

    All the pipe shops around me are wiped out. Guys even bought up all the stuff McClelland made for others like Nording

    Scotty's Trout Stream in a new Morgan Bones pipe.  Smokes great.  Looking forward to seeing how it colors as it ages.

    I have several unstained/unpolished pipes and enjoy how they have colored over time. Smoking one now, a Tsuge stacked billiard with some SG Lakeland Dark broken flake.

    Do they color from the oils in your skin or the tobacco? Or both? I have some cobs that have darkened with use but some of it must be my grubby mitts leaving marks because it can be wiped off

    Haunted Bookshop on a walk 'cause I'm a looser and didn't buy any Peterson St Patrick's Day tobacco.

    It's both, @Captain_Call, especially on the rusticated ones. All the high nubs get dark pretty fast from handling while the wood darkens gradually in the pits.

    That makes me more excited to get one of those bones pipes. I've been eyeing them for a while anyway

    Some cool designs too.  I got a short pot style and love it.  Smokes great.

    Having his own pipe shrine helps, or is that an altar?

    Pipe shapes can be awfully confusing. Where do you draw the line between a pot, billiard, and a stack? I understand one is short, one is normal and one is tall, but is there a quantitative measurement where the next category begins?

    pots tend to be wide as well as short, Dunhill has a standard for bowl size, a search engine can probably come up with it. It's as much about ratios width vs. height....
