Nice pipe. I have an Aldo Valani Soave I really like.
My son calls it my boob pipe. He overheard me talking about to my wife and when I was describing it to her I said jokingly "It feels good in my hand. Kinda like a boob."
Macb Virginia Numero Uno, in my orphan meer. Cool night, the youngest dog is off chasin' scents, and someone is the neighborhood is grilling at 11pm. Might have to ninja over for some stolen grub.
Kids are in bed. Wife's unwinding from work. Out here it's just me and my dogs.
So nice.
Your never alone outside. You've got the stars, the grass, the birds, the people in your neighborhood.
Have you tried moving your smoking outdoors?
Good tips.
I've got a solid base of pipes under me according to my smoking style and budget. I really want to focus on tobacco next instead of buying an awesome but un-needed pipe.
I still have not bought a brand new pipe yet outside of my MM corncob, but it'll be all that more special when I do.
You know I have a birthday right by Halloween...
seems only fitting a buy myself a Dracula pipe.
If it wasn't for that silver band it would look ridiculous.
Boswell's is like that a bit. A nice lady asked me if I wanted to have my debit card number shredded or should they keep it on file. My first response was almost "No way! People still write things down?"
Galeon, just chiming in here. I've got a tin of this and it's really growing on me. It's become like a "gateway tobacco" leading me towards other Virginia types.
I've got an Evernote file started with stuff I want to try...
Full Virginia Flake
Escudo
Haddo's Delight
Orlik Golden Delight...
A lot of pipes have screw in stems. Doesn't mean their inherently evil. Many older meers, kaywoodies, etc have screw in stems. I'm not a huge fan of them, but I've had a small exposure to them.
As far as the pipe/insert in the pic. Meh.
My search-Fu is not as strong as some but I couldn't find anything on Pipedia.
Could it be Ireland also?
Along the England line of thought, Emerson? Is it faded off maybe?
Yeah I'm on the porch as well. I hate smoking in the heat so it was late night pipes for me during the drought. My youngest has some health issues so I've just always smoked outside.
Colcott your right. I'm still in my mid thirties but I try and appreciate as much of every single day as I can. Its tough sometimes when you start focusing on what you don't have instead of what you do, but I've really been trying to be thankful and respectful for the things in my life.
Its...
