OK...I Get It Now.
Yo cos - funny about Presby. My experience was the same, but coming from the other direction. I am a lover of Latbombs, and I do like mild Lats to start the day. The first half tin of Presby was meh to me, and I thought I had crossed it off the rebuy list. Then, around the end of the tin...- lestrout

What Are The Physics Of "Thick Wall = Cool Smoke"?
Let me introduce another factor into this discussion of coolness: no one has directly mentioned that some briar is denser than others. I personally favor low density briar not because I clench (I don't) but because I feel it delivers a cooler smoke. hp les- lestrout

Why Prof. Einstein Smoked Pipe This Way?
Yo Rich Funk - my definitive answer: one of the Morley's PC members grew up in Germany. He told me it is common practice there to leave a gap with the stem to make it easier to pull off the stem mid-smoke and shake out condensation. The official Slow Smoke Comite rules allow this, especially...- lestrout

How Deep is Your Cellar?
Well, I need to update my spreadsheets. I've been delinquent since we moved recently and things are still in boxes. My wife thought I needed more room for my tobacco, ffishing gear, Scotch and wine, so the new house is more than twice the size of the place I was perfectly happy in for 43...- lestrout

I Like 'Em All!
Yo scruf - welcome from West Chester. Are you in the Southeast? There are two wonderful pipe clubs: the downtown Philly one meets monthly (before the Pandemic, that is) at the Pen & Pencil Club. The Lehigh Valley PC is younger but very enthusiastic, meeting at The Wooden Match in Bethlehem...- lestrout

Sasieni Perfect Ten (Ten Dot)
Yo cshu - nice pix and story on your TEN. I have a few Sasienis, including a very recent, non-pedigreed one that actually is an excellent puffer. Those old Britwoods are favorites of mine, since they are often smaller, making for a right-sized smoke for me, and being well seasoned as well as...- lestrout

Samuel Gawith Virginia Shootout
Yo rush - very nice writeup. I find BBF to me more consistent that FVF. Some of my best smokes have been with FVF, but sometimes a bowl is just so-so. hp les- lestrout

Another casualty of the COVID19: our fine venue Pen & Pencil is shut the time being. So no March Morley's. Hopefully April will bring relief. hp les- lestrout

Philly's Morley's PC Wednesday 18Mar 7:00pm
Our March Morley's isn't quite the Ides of March, being the 3rd Wednesday again - 18Mar. 7:30pm at the Pen & Pencil Club as usual. But the kitchen situation is still unsettled, so don't count on meal service. However, there will be plenty of libations and tobacco available. We can compare tales...- lestrout

1943 Dunhill Shell
Yo Alask Great score. I got a 1944 Dunnie several years ago, and it came with a horn stem. Gary Malmberg had it and he told me the war years indeed curtailed the supply of rubber products. The deal was that Dunhill pressed horn into service, but that when the war ended, an owner could have... -

Has Anyone Ever Heard of an Emperor Norton Pipe?
Yo Yerb - before Grant's on Market St closed (SanFran) they had a full English blend named after Emperor Norton. Grant's sold pipes with the shop's name on them, and some of them were supplied from the likes of Comoy. Maybe your pipe is from them. hp les
