LocktownDog said:Nice find, Kitty. I usually don't buy used cobs, as they're found brand new real cheap. But that one is a collector's item. Much better than any produced by MM nowadays. Is that a sterling band? Bite marks on the bit?
KittyT said:I do not know if the band is sterling - what is the best way to tell? There are no bite marks at all on the bit, and the inside appears to be quite clean.

Frank & Co. Listed below is a link to some history of this pipe and company. I have also seen a few Kaywoodie's listed for sale in the estate pipe section of www.smokingpipes.com. Might be interesting to see if these resemble or match your recent pipe purchase.

i just smoked a vanilla from www.boswellpipes.comMike K. said:Greetings friends. As mentioned previously I like a wide variety of pipe tobaccos - from the traditional drugstore aromatics like Capt. Black Royal to English blends like G. L. Pease Westminster (very similar to original Dunhill).
I was wondering if anyone has tried the newer MacBaren tobaccos Original Choice or Vanilla Choice?
Also, I am looking to try a nice vanilla flavored tobacco. Not simply a vanilla aromatic but something with a good, strong vanilla flavor (yes I know it will probably be goopy). Any recommendations?

thanks for the web siteJohn Boyer said:I don't know if this is precisely what you are looking for, but I have always enjoyed Pipeworks & Wilke's blend No. 191. Technically, this is a honey-vanilla blend but I find the vanilla to be predominant. While I prefer Virginias I have always found the Pipeworks & Wilke cavendish blends to be exceptional. Not to unindate you with websites but, www.tobaccoreviews.com is a very good place to get additional information on specific blends and brands. Lastly, I have not tried the MacBaren blends you mention. I do occassionally smoke, however, the MacBaren Cube blend, for what that's worth.
