I bought it in Porto through an eBay like platform. I’ve seen the advert and went to buy it in person. I really love that pipe indeed.

Been a while. Rained this afternoon so weather is pretty cool here. Having Dunhill Aperitif in an Altinay reverse calabash.
@Birddog66 Is the old Murray's Erinmore Flake much different from the modern release?
Starting the day off with Mcclelland Yenidje Supreme in the Goussard Dubvat w/ boar tusk.
About to head outside and enjoy a bowl of the new Sun Bear offering...sooo good.
C&D Haunted Bookshop in this poker found at a flea market. It isn't pretty, but neither am I! Smokes great.
@bluegrassbrian Only ever smoked 1 clay bowl of McClelland, at Nottingham pipe show last year. Hoping to meet @tobakenist and @simong this year.
You've only ever smoked 1 bowl of a Mcclelland product?
When did you start smoking a pipe?
Were you just not interested in them or was it the availability issue?
OGS in the Savinelli 313 last night, along with water and a fresh box of matches.
Moving right along - Steamworks in the '85 Ashton Pebble Grain X.
Cloudy and breezy today with no chance for precipitation. After enduring this last week of horrendous heat and humidity, todays weather is a welcome respite.

I prefer it but it’s hard to say because you’re talking about a tin with a fair bit of age on it versus a fresh one. As I never smoked it until recently I can’t compare the two fresh
I think the name kept me from trying it for a long time. Likely my subconscious linked it to Gawith Firedance, which is a blackberry aromatic travesty. Also may have assumed it had something to do with "Fireball" or a cinnamon candy.
Maybe Russ had a reason for naming this blend "Firestorm", or maybe he had just been listening to Earth Crisis. (LoL).
I don’t think it was ever available here, not many US blends are unfortunately due to our strict laws on curing leaf.
Where is it available? I don’t remember seeing it on Smoking Pipes, not that I can order from them again anyway.
And nowadays especially - the cost of the blends on top of shipping plus finding someone willing to do the shipping in the first place.
Firestorm? For Russ Ouellette blends your best bet is Pipes & Cigars.
