Awesome looking pipe! What's is in 3 kings? Reminds me of the blues lol

It's my Christmas blend, but I've been smoking it since September LOL...

PS 41 Cube Cut in my tall stack, maker Milton Kalnitz. This hard pressed cube seems to require a large bowl pipe even a heavy tamp will not crush.

I have Plum Pudding on my to buy list. Are just not a fan of the topping? Just curious. I get that everyone's miles will vary.

Plum Pudding has become what MSO calls "Permanent Party" on my menu. I prefer Plum Pudding Special Reserve, but I enjoy them all. I do lean heavily towards Balkans and English blends, that's my sole disclaimer.

Here's the Nuttens/Ropp I just bought. I couldn't not buy this. I LOVE this stummel shape. I had the same Ropp but I traded it in to SP, because I just could not abide the horn stem on it, and I've lamented that they don't sell this exact stummel with a vulcanite stem. This stummel, hand chosen by Nuttens, with a hand-cut vulcanite stem! It was a no brainer, impulse buy. I didn't know these Nuttens/Ropps existed. Hopefully they'll be able to save the factory!

Love the Scarlet runners, I use them for background to hide ugly fences and dogshit filled yards when I landscape. They taste good for a heritage bean but you either eat them young or wait until frost and harvest the mature pods like navy beans. The pipe is stellar!

I enjoy an occasional aromatic so I brought in a pound of Lane 1Q recently. It is tolerable, but lacks nicotine punch, which I've corrected by adding some D&R Picayune. Burning some now in my Sterling Hall 'hand made' Rhodesian with tapered stem.

Thanks man! I enjoy the Balkans and English blends I've tried so far! Definitely gonna add one tin just to see.
