On its way from Chris Askwith.
What should I use for its maiden voyage?

Dunhill Flake.
I like the stem. Very vivid.

I really like the stem as well.
Smoking Pipes had a couple like that with yellow and blue stems that were really tempting.
If it were me, I'd be smoking Westminster or Odyssey. Or perhaps, keep it fresh for the arrival of... The Virginia Cream!

Nope. Sorry. I meant to tell you your image wasn't working, but I forgot. I copied and pasted the URL.
I also tried to post the image for you, to no avail.

Stunning pipe! I love looking at Chris Askwith's pipes. I guess I have a thing about crazy stems.

I was thinking old wood modern stem. Seemed appropriate.
I have another one of his pipes. Blue and yellow stem. I really like the quality of his work. This new one will be its brother.
My first experience with Morta. Any secret wisdom?

Got it today! Was torn between testing it on a known favorite (Jerods suggestion for Dunhill Flake was leading the list) and testing it on the piece of Askwith Cake that Chris sent with the pipe.
Had to go with the cake! Great stuff (perique heavy). Pipe smokes great and the cleanest new pipe taste, meaning no taste, I've had. Every collection should have a Morta pipe.

That's a great looking pipe, any profile shots? I'd be hard pressed not to sample the cake as well. Enjoy. ::

Great pipe. I have an Askwith Morta as well. Personally I would go with an English blend. Morta can impart a subtle "smokey" flavour that I think works best for English blends, but that is just my two cents.
