***What Are You Smoking, May 2024?***
Haunted Bookshop in my Tekin lazy lattice bent Dublin meerschaum with acrylic stem. Yesterday I posted my morning smoke in my Vauen Nest with a 9mm filter but when I went to clean it later I found my 3mm adapter in there. There is a giant black bear in the field today so short walk for me...- BrightDarkEyes

Welcome from BC, Canada. Sorry to hear about your problem to obtain tobacco. It‘s a shame since some of the most wonderful pipes in the world come from your country.- BrightDarkEyes

Mr. B’s English Mix in my Vauen Nest rusticated straight billiard with acrylic stem and 9mm filter. I haven’t had this blend in a while and I forgot how good it is. I read a review that says it is Sutliff Medium English.- BrightDarkEyes

Going out of town for work today. I am half way through a bowl of Haunted Bookshop in my Vauen Dr. Perl 4284 M with my Vauen Cambridge 192 in the pipe bag ready to go with some Orlik Golden sliced from 2019. The other pipe is my Vauen Royal 564 for some Big n’ Burley for the drive home. I...- BrightDarkEyes

Thanks, man. The other old Andreas Bauer meerschaum I have has a similarly pale coloured stem but it has more transparent and yellow in it compared to this one that seems to have only yellow and white.- BrightDarkEyes

Still smoking my Andreas Bauer straight billiard meerschaum with sterling silver army mount and acrylic stem. I don't know where my phone is so no photo. Bow Legged Bear will be my final smoke today.- BrightDarkEyes

1792 Flake in my Andreas Bauer straight billiard meerschaum with sterling silver army mount and acrylic stem. What a glorious tobacco! I let this dry for about an hour or more and wow!- BrightDarkEyes

Differences in Interior Stem Design
This pipe is a Polo, which I understand is or was Vauen’s seconds line. I bought it as new old stock and never smoked. As you can see, this channel is even more extreme than the V-shaped one. It is the only channel like it I’ve ever seen. The draw on this is exceptionally open and effortless...- BrightDarkEyes

Big ‘n Burley in my Andreas Bauer straight billiard meerschaum with military mount acrylic stem. Finally, this pipe is losing its estate kind of mustiness after a few smokes. It must have been sitting in a dusty drawer for decades and decades before it came to me.- BrightDarkEyes

Zippo Pipe Lighters...Opinions Please!
I really didn’t want to get one because of what people say about the fluid taste. Another thread has my post about that. They are so damn nostalgic. I can remember owning one almost 20 years ago. I wasn’t smoking a pipe back then. I ordered a vintage one from Germany to try out and plan on...- BrightDarkEyes

Coatings on Chinese Pipes
Hello from Canada. I don’t have any experience with the Chinese pipes. The Peterson Dracula must be fantastic and I know the Vauen Auenland pipes are top notch. I’d just smoke those and save your pipe acquisitions for some factory pipes from companies with good reputations like the ones you...- BrightDarkEyes
