Basil Meadows Bing Has Arrived

[papipeguy]

It looks even better in person than the pictures. Will start the break-in tonight.

 

[newbroom]

Sweet! Looks like fun! I hope it smokes like it looks!

Buh, buh, buh boo, good for you!
Just a note of caution: Once you begin enjoying this style of pipe you will soon develop a passion for golf, a golden bass-baritone voice, prominent ears, a tendency to break into song without notice, bald pate, and a consuming thirst for orange juice. Don't say I didn't warn you!

 

[JimInks]

Great looker. I know it'll be a great smoker, too. Guess your blue of the night just met the gold of your day, buh, buh, buh, boo!

 

[derfargin]

Sweet burner. May have to get one myself.

 

[randelli]

Great looking pipe!
So the business card... does it really say aromatic fart? I have tried to zoom in butt it gets fuzzy...

 

[papipeguy]

randell, yes it does indeed say Aromatic Fart. Must be the BBQ in N. Carolina.

 

[JimInks]

Randelli: don't worry. Basil keeps his pipe blocks in a methane controlled environment so they won't be contaminated by his butt. :rofl:
DerFargin: time for you to get a methane free Bing!!!! :D

 

[basil]

I keep all of them in a methane free area. Except a couple and I made JimInks pipes with those.

 

[papipeguy]

Basil, that helps explain why Jim tastes earthy qualities in some blends.

 

[JimInks]

Aww, Basil's always talking out of his butt. It has a wide vocabulary! :rofl:

 

[rfernand]

Wow, that does look nice. Congrats!

 

[ejames]

Very nice ! I love the long slender look of that pipe.

 

[disinformatique]

Yummy !! I am saving to get both the Bing versions.
Chris :puffpipe:

 

[jkrug]

That is a sweet little pipe for sure. I could see me with one of those in the future. Enjoy. ::

 

[papipeguy]

Smoked some Warrior Plug in it last night to start the break-in process. Very open draw, which I prefer. This pipe will definitely move up in my rotation.

 

[shutterbugg]

Should have mine soon. If it smokes as good as my Trinsky Bing I'll be one happy camper, plus it will take a regular 6" pipecleaner. The Trinsky is just a wee bit too long, had to order up some churchwarden cleaners. (I cut them down from 12" to 7", and the 5" remnants are just right for making 4 dry rings for my Falcons.)

 

[bpftc]

Congrats!

 

[papipeguy]

shutterbug, the Bing takes every bit of a standard pipe cleaner.

 

[shutterbugg]

My Trinsky is 7.5" long and if I insert a 6" cleaner flush with the bit, the other end doesn't make it to the bowl. I don't mind having to use a tweezer to retrieve the cleaner, I just don't like taking the stems off my pipes. But I got a fairly good supply of churchwarden cleaners so it's no problem if I need a 7" cleaner on both Bings.
