I have a few “nicer” pipes but this Rossi 8622 has to be my best smoker. Oddly enough it didn’t start that way. It took me a while to bond with it. Now it is by far the one that I have enjoyed the most smoking experiences with. It never lets me down. I love the shape and feel in the hand and...
Used one of these in a pinch once. Now it’s my favorite. The flat sides help holding it steady and although it’s hard to see in the picture the sides of the nail head are slightly rounded which somewhat matches the inside of the bowl.
I always have my first pipe on the way to work. That is usually about an hour after I wake up. Almost always an English, usually Arango Balkan Supreme. Sometimes Carter Hall but not often. Its only a twenty minute drive but I can continue to smoke at work so I’m able take my time.
Will be in the area this week (1/15/24-1/21/24). Can anyone recommend any tobacco shops in the Highland, Franklin, Cashiers NC area? If not, then any grocery or convenience stores that sell codger tobacco. Thanks.
Can someone recommend a bulk blend that would be a good option for Nightcap and/or Quiet Nights. Not necessarily a ’match’ blend but any bulk blend that is known to be very close to these tin brands. Thanks in advance.
Smoked a very nice bowl of Nightcap in a Rossi 8622 on the way
to work this morning. Almost worth being late for. Sitting in my smoking parlor now, aka utility room, wash room, tool shed. Trying to decide on the first bowl of the evening.
I bought an acrylic stemmed filtered MM pipe and just switch the stem to the filtered cob I’m smoking that day. One stem, Multiple pipes. May not be proper pipe etiquette and I know you can’t do it with other types of pipes but it works for me.
