    Four Ornsby Pipes And Counting

    I use a piece of flake in the base of the bowl to prevent clogging and have found it works for me. Your right about the aluminium tenon however and over polishing it can cause a loose fit which can allow that awful stinky tobacco juice to go all over your hand. I have fixed that issue on the one...

    Just got my Estervals order and am drying some Presse Canoe Latakia Flake-20 to smoke in a Sasieni Mayfair apple. I also have the Oriental Flake which I’m looking forward to trying when I get home, if they smoke as good as they smell I’m in for a real treat.

    Just finishing up some Heinrich’s Special Curly in a Sasieni Mayfair billiard after having some McLelland Balkan Beauty in the Mayfair apple while out with WeeBay. Next up is Dark Annie (1/2 H&H Anniversary Cake and 1/2 ODF) in a Yello Bole with another coffee.

    Just got in from a walk with WeeBay and Eccentric in the Civic Zulu. No photo as I’m preparing a spicy chicken soup with Puy lentils.
