    No. All have been removed. I may still have one laying around if it makes a difference.

    FS: 4 Sasieni Pipes - Family Era 10/30/25

    Okay, it doesn’t look like these are drawing any interest. I will leave them up for a couple more days, then put them on the Bay if I don’t hear from any of you.

    ***What Are You Smoking, June 2025?***

    2017 F&T Cut Blended Plug in a Sasieni Mayfair. I have a 3 day trip to West Virginia coming up this weekend on the bike. This will be one of the pipes traveling in my saddlebag.

    ***What Are You Smoking, May 2025?***

    For the initial smoke in the new Jesse Jones Acorn I chose Dan Hamborger Veermaster, of course.

    Castello

    I agree that it’s likely from the 1950’s. Trademark is Castello’s lowest graded smooth pipe, regarding grain. “Castello” is mid-grade and “Collection” higher grade. I’ve never had a bad Castello! Nice pick up!

    New Jesse Jones Handmade

    I just received my latest commission from Jesse. A sandblasted bent Acorn. In my opinion another masterpiece by an incredible carver. The 3rd photo is the Fab 5 all together. #Blueroombriars

    What Was Your First "I Gotta Buy 5 Pounds of This Stuff!" Tobacco?

    The blends I have 5lbs of, or nearly so, are PS Luxury Twist Flake, F&T Cut Blended Plug, F&T Vintage, F&T Cut Virginia Plug, Dan Hamborger Veermaster, and G&H Brown Flake Aromatic. LTF was the first I stocked up on, the others followed.

    Comfort Food Tobaccos

    PS Luxury Twist Flake and G&H Brown Flake Aromatic. Both are easy, all day smokes with just a hint of sweetness. Both are daily smokes for me.

    Loading Hours Or The Day Before

    I just light it enough to cover the very top of the bowl. I don’t draw down into the bowl. I put the flame above the bowl and draw down so the flame just touches the top layer of tobacco, set the tamper on top and give it a little spin to spread the ash evenly and I’m done. Now it’s ready to go...
