***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***
First smoke of the new MBSD meer, starting it off with a bowlful of Esoterica Tilbury from 2020. Damn nice way to start Christmas Eve.- Kingsley

Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!
Was searching around on EBay, and found this, my newest acquisition. The posting itself had 13 images available, and in the first 3/4th of the gallery, the images in no way showed any signs of wacky high-quality block (which is my whole thing), but after close inspection, wham, it was on its way...- Kingsley

Love Ser Jacopo pipes, and that’s a purdy pipe, but forward canted bowls make my brain scream.- Kingsley

What Are You Drinking? December 2023
Was lucky enough to pick up a longtime favorite on my recent trip south. Finding it can be a good bit tricky outside of a few key locations. Enjoying just a smidge of it now straight, highly recommended if you can find it. I don’t take well to most alcoholic beverages outside of a few plum wines...- Kingsley

🎄The Official Unofficial PipesMagazine Secret Santa 2023 🎅
Got my SS gift in earlier than anticipated, and opened earlier than intended. Had no idea if it was something from another colleague or not, so I popped it open without thinking. No note, and no return address other than SP, so I’m near sure this is from here. I’ll be stuffing my pipe with the...- Kingsley

Got something coming from far, far away for this SS, and I’m leaving for a grand trip to the Carolinas tomorrow, hoping to pick up the final pièce de réshitstance in my travels. Should be complete and packed off and away via priority by the 11th. It’s my biggest SS gift yet!- Kingsley

Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!
Not luck at all, as far as identification goes, just gotta keep a keen eye out, they are out there. As far as the aromatics go, I too feel that it depends on the overall absorbency of the block, but anything rich in oils or goop definitely helps color bum-rush to the surface in my experience.- Kingsley

Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!
Oh, not at all, few carvers do, in fact, I bought an Altinay pipe that was truly translucent by definition and wasn’t listed as such, despite the fact that they really pushed forth and popularized the concept of translucent meerschaum being of the highest grade of meerschaum, as well as the...- Kingsley

That’s the exact reason I jumped on it so fast, I’ve never seen him have anything like it. The wax isn’t unbleached or anything like he is usually want to do, it was probably just a bit of more absorbent silica nestled inside a larger chunk, probably just a fluke.- Kingsley

Show Off Your Meerschaum Pipes Here!
New translucent and first Yanik, a just barely rusticated Acorn. I’ve heard some not so wonderful things about Yanik’s pipes, but seeing this beauty made me throw all that out the window in a flash. Translucent block meerschaum (or whatever you’d like to call it) practically being my main...- Kingsley

That’s a great question, probably smaller and older, that way even if it’s something I’ve had before, the chance of me having had it with a good amount of age on it is hilariously low. It’s also very helpful to see if any one particular blend is worth aging in the long run.- Kingsley

Alright gang, I love VA’s, flakes and ribbons. Dark, rich, and sweet, those are my favorites. Brown Clunee, McConnell’s Black Flake, FVF, you get the picture. Never took to HH Pure Virginia or Union Square. Please avoid perique, latakia, deertongue, cigar leaf, animal products, and above all...- Kingsley
