Luxury Twist Flake, about 4 yrs old since I bought the box...not much remaining, but enough to have a nice bowl or 3 and one right now in my beater, hence one of my favorites, Grabow Westbrook straight small (3-4) wire brush rusticated apple. I think this was my first Grabow acquisition via auction and it was not the object of my bid.
I found it to be wonderful and have since acquired several more of the brand from Chicago made to Sparta.

We continue smoking with. Royal Yacht of Peterson, in corn pipe Charles Towne Cobbler. And a cup red wine.....................
That’s awesome and Longchamp was Elvis’ favoured pipe brand along with other celebrities.
I think you’re going to like it, I’l be getting more for sure.
Afternoon everyone, getting off to a late start today with Germain’s Medium Flake in the newly acquired Longchamp bent bulldog with grey suede wrap. This was musty and rank when it came earlier in the week, a little rum wash in the bowl and a few days filled with crushed Himalayan rock salt has removed that entirely. I do like the first bowl after I’ve given this treatment, you get the salty tang with the tobacco and it’s better than it sounds. I was fortunate again in that this pipe couldn’t have seen more than half a dozen bowls if that. The bottom half of the bowl wasn’t even charred so the original owner wasn’t patient enough to break it in. 
This pipe is so interesting to me. I always admire it's lines when you post. Have you reviewed it somewhere?
Happy Friday to all! Enjoying some 2009 Gawith Hoggarth Best Brown #2 in a Savinelli St Nicholas.
Watch City Quint’s Own in an Amphora X-Tra
Mastercraft Lovat with a local English blend. As our learned friend says, my drink is ice water .
As I type this I'm smoking Sam Gawith St James Flake, I'm a big fan of VaPer blends. A friend is sending me some pure perique but I doubt I'd enjoy a full bowl of it, I'll mix it with Mick McQuaid which is a nice Irish virginia mix
Burma Road in a half bent Canadian era Brigham Dublin - I’ve been smoking a lot of different tobaccos lately but I just keep coming back to a couple of bulk blends -Burma Road and Russ’s TastyKake
Tuskegee Airman now in the same grey suede Longchamp bent bulldog, like all my others it smokes like a champ. I have reason to believe this is one of the last pipes they produced in 1978. The pipes were still being sold after production stopped and the stem on this one lacks the horse and rider stamp, I believe their last finished bowls were fitted with blank stems from the companies that made them, including Ropp, Butz Choquin, GBD, Savinelli and Sasieni.
Sutliff Crumble Kake VaPer in a MM Pride with cobbit shire stem, and it's burning just fine with minimum crumbling of the presented semi-flake pressed richness right out of the tin, first bowl. A few re-lghts help keep the heat down if you pace them. and the flavor is a very nice, smooth and rich with no bite and is burning all the way down.
Good morning all. I'm smoking HH Burley Flake in my new Savinelli unfinished 644. I'm saving my recently delivered Eight State Burley, and Tuskegee Airmen for the weekend.
Good morning all! Simple pleasure to start the day with Carter Hall in a Wilke smooth Billiard with tapered stem.
Starting off my smoking day with a bowl of circa year 2000 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
No. I've never reviewed a pipe or even thought about doing it, but I will for you. It's a terrific smoker and allows me to get everything from a tobacco blend that is possible to get. The one drawback is that I have to smoke it a little slowly because the walls are a little on the thin size. It's light as a feather and well balanced for easy clenching, has perfect drilling, and as you well know, an incredible, entrancing blast.
