Went to a B&M Today
And they’d be absolutely right… Lets be honest I’m tossing it in my wife’s bag. I’m not blowing a chance at those NZ rainbows. She’d understand- MikeDub

Went to a B&M Today
Those prices are making me want to plan a fly fishing excursion out there. Couple pounds of Virginia flake tucked in my bag and that trip is free- MikeDub

Sanitized and Ready to Smoke
Not to get too far off topic, but what did you use to clean it? I’ve got a couple that are due for a deep clean and I’m not comfortable using the method I use for briars. And I feel your pain - I’m collecting Neerup Harvest Moon pipes and the one I ordered said no filter but was definitely a...- MikeDub

Appreciation For C&D Crumble Cakes
5 o’clock shadow is amazing. VaPerKen’s are 2nd to straight virginias for me and that one is excellent. Exhausted Rooster is great too but isn’t a cake- MikeDub

That's awesome that you reached out to a producer and got in touch with a blender. I would not have expected that. C&D is top notch when it comes to customer service- MikeDub

Feedback wanted: Community engagement
I'm not sure how much value a blender is going to get from community engagement. You could announce that you've come up with a red virginia flake that you selected from the best of the best of 50 different seeds planted a decade ago, and people will swear up and down all you did was take Super...- MikeDub

AKB and IMP Meerschaum
I have one of each and the fit and finish on the IMP is superior but they both smoke great. I’d go with the shape that speaks to you and has the right dimensions you’re looking for. SP has a great return policy if you discover any issues prior to smoking it so you get that piece of mind too -
2021 Eight State Burley
I bought 5 tins each of the 2021 & 2022 release and if they release it again this year I’ll get 5 more. It’s unique and if you like burleys with a little sweetness it’s good stuff. Haven’t tried all the burley blends out there but the addition of the red Virginia and orientals make it unique and...- MikeDub

The Great Meerschaum Cake Experiment
Based off the breath smoking video you posted years back, I would think your pipe doesn't get very hot, and where the majority of the color is is where the moisture buildup is likely to be greatest, especially given the way that the smoke is moving back and forth in the shank and stem. Really...- MikeDub

The Great Meerschaum Cake Experiment
Beeswax starts to discolor at 185 degrees but it's melting point is 145 degrees, and both temperatures are above what I think the exterior of the bowl and shank are likely to reach? Beeswax also readily absorbs oils and color so it could be the tars and oils passing through the meerschaum and...- MikeDub

Show-Off Your Stanwell Pipes Here!
Not to my knowledge - they used the same sandblast finish and metal piece either on top of the shank or on the side like yours (and mine below). They are fantastic pipes and one of my favorite briars- MikeDub

Largest Peterson System pipe?
House pipe Pub Pipe XL5s/307/B42 That's pretty much the breakdown in descending order. The House and Pub pipes aren't going to show up as Systems on the website so that might not be obvious if you didn't already know that.
