    Well I'm Fat Pt4

    Good for you. Around 16 years ago, I started having cardiac stents put in, (ultimately had a triple bypass). Simply by doing that I dropped around 50 pounds. Past year, though, gained around 10 pounds back. Think that's due to late night snacking.

    Women Enjoy Pipes, Too

    Have only ever seen 1 woman smoking a pipe in real life, way back when I first started smoking a pipe in the mid-70's.

    Wet Shave

    Have had a close cropped beard continuously for 53 years. Now that I'm retired I only shave 2-3 times a week and use cheap disposable razors for sensitive skin because I have sensitive skin.:) shaving is simply an occasional necessity for me not anything I luxuriate in.

    Anyone Else Obsessed with Bent Rhodesians / Bulldogs?

    True of most bulldogs I've handled. Ser Jacopo makes em big chambered at times. Also Peterson's squire and Hudson have good sized chambers.

    Peterson Christmas Pipe Release

    Certainly agree with switching to the pebble finish. Not that I'm in the market for a pipe as I've more than enough. Didn't I tell myself that a few pipe purchases ago?:LOL:

    Do pipes need to be “Broken In”?

    Nope. Just stuff them with what you like and let er rip.

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

    That's an absolutely fabulous pipe. I'm a sucker for silver bling. One of the reasons I'm a Pete fan.

    That's a beautiful pipe. Sounds as if you're there for medical reasons. If so, hope you're on the mend soon.

    Anyone Else Obsessed with Bent Rhodesians / Bulldogs?

    Have a Hudson and thought the bend so non-existent that it seems like a straight pipe to me. I have 7 bulldogs and 4 Rhodesians, but almost never smoke 1 of the dogs as the chamber is too small. Chamber of my squat Pete donegal is also too small but like the squat shape so smoke it occasionally...

    Haven't wanted to try it as am not that fond of cavendish.

    Am not a clencher. So, button design is irrelevant to me.

    Very nice. Am a big fan of the SH line as I love the bowl designs, Have 10 of them which is around 1/3 of my Petes.

    Samuel Gawith Drop is on at SmokingPipes

    Many years ago, (10-12). when I smoked the brand I was able to get FVF and Best Brown flake for $26 for half a pound.

    Samuel Gawith Drop is on at SmokingPipes

    Yup, much too rich for my blood. Years ago when FVF was set at a reasonable price, I smoked it regularly. That and Best Brown were the only blends of theirs's I smoked. But, don't miss them.

    What's the % of Dark Fired in Old Gowrie?

    Based on my experimenting, I assume you meant a tad over 8%. That would be in the range I used.

    Your #2 is a pub pipe is it not? That's my #3/4, (an oak finish) as it's sort of tied with my rusticated 2015 Founder's edition, another Hungarian.

    Number 1 is my rusticated bent house pipe.

    As he mentioned liking spigots, I'd recommend a B42 system spigot. I have a rusticated one and the darker stain is a good complement to all the silver of the spigot. It's my second favorite pipe.

    What's the % of Dark Fired in Old Gowrie?

    I was having a hankering for dark fired and I almost always smoke a blend with perique in it. So, it seemed a natural to try to tweak Bayou Morning by adding some DF to it and that worked well.
