I am a beginner in the pipe smoking realm. I heard from various people that said the pipe picks you, well for me it's true. I went to my local cigar shop and noticed a straight Dublin,with thick chamber walls and with a typical rustic look, but for some odd reason it was giving me an eye sore, out of that cardboard tray of marked down tobacco pipes. The store is of course a more cigar oriented shop and as far as I know I'm the only piper in my area. So now back to the pipe..
It has a smooth rim and maybe a dark cherry-like finish throughout and a very slim mouth piece, the inscription is somewhat faint, but I think it says leonessa sovrano.(maybe someone can fill in the details)
I purchased a medium strength English, despite everyone telling me to start with a mild aromatic and I'm glad I trusted my ol gut, so I packed a bowl of some Peterson's Old Dublin and went to town. Very good tobacco, but at first a very bad tin note(smelled like burnt rubber) but later aquired the sent, but the taste and aroma was excellent. I had to slow down, despite of the thick walls, but the pipe smokes cool, just couldn't help my self in trying my first English and tasting the strange,but interesting blend, with my new briar pipe friend.
