I love Paul Mason brandy. It’s $11 a bottle. I tried Corvasier, which is four times more expensive. Didn’t care for it. I feel privileged that the cheap stuff is more to my taste. I can appreciate the nuances of nicer things, but I’m no longer driven to “train” myself to like them simply because...
My marTelo pipes are among the top tier performing pipes in my collection, not to mention some of the most visually attractive. I hope you get many enjoyable smokes from that beautiful piece of art!
1937. Beautiful! Your white dot will need to be replaced, which is a fairly easy thing to do if you’re at all handy with stuff like that. Drill out the old one, glue in a new one and sand it flush.
I tried it one time, but as I smoke for pleasure and not for nicotine, it seemed like a waste of tobacco. I focused too much on the music and was just chuffing away and burning everything up haha.
I hate to say this, because the longer availability of this blend is a nice thing, but, I have never had a burley blend that I really liked besides HH Burley, and I really, really like this blend.
That’s exactly what I chose as my special Birthyear pipe. I can help you with the nomenclature!

I picked a 4103 which is a standard billiard in medium size. A Canadian shape in the same size would be shape code 4109.
