    1923 Dunhill Bruyere - Restored

    Thanks for the kind words about the work, gentlemen, and you know that the pleasure was all mine, uperepik. Enjoy that pipe! That stem patch was the most technically challenging one I've ever tackled. I've had bigger and I've had gnarlier, but I've never had one that required more engineering...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (June 2018)

    Frog Morton’s Cellar in a mid-to-late-40s D&P Pipe Works Spartan v4 (the version numbering is my own). The first Spartans were made in 1942 for U.S. soldiers. The Spartan v1 (again, my version numbering) was simply a squared block with one hole drilled for a tobacco chamber and another drilled...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (June 2018)

    Still trying out some tobacco samples. After being completely bowled over by Ivan the Terrible, I had to load up the Champion Deluxe with St. Basil’s Miyagi’s Mindfulness. It’s obvious that a lot of thought and attention was put into this one. Cigar leaf blends rarely achieve this level of...

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (June 2018)

    From Tom Douglas, former Executive Vice President at Dr. Grabow/Mastercraft: "Every year our President, Paul Fish, would travel to Spain, Italy, and Greece to place orders for the next years briarwood. In 1967 he came back with a funny looking pipe that was just a bowl, aluminum rod, and a cheap...

    Good Sunday to you all! Carter Hall in a Kaywoodie Prime Grain 80B because, sometimes, perfection is found in simplicity. Nice Hortig, npod! I always enjoy seeing his work.

    Enjoying a warm Saturday evening with Comoy’s Cask No.5 Bulleit Rye Select in a Stanwell Brushed Brown 32. Mazzy Star is providing the mood music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-uJ61jgFCMM

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (May 2018)

    C&D Crooner in an MM General. I love the smell of deer tongue in the morning. Smells like … victory.

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (May 2018)

    Orlik Golden Sliced in a meer claw. I have been dreaming about this pipe and tobacco pairing for the past seven hours or so. It has a lot of expectations to live up to and, so far, it is doing so with spectacular aplomb.

    @newbroom -- Happy 70th, young man! @npod -- Thank you very much, sir! A thrice-American way to end Memorial Day: IRC Old Colonial in an MM / Dr. Grabow cob.

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (May 2018)

    P&C’s 2015 IPSD blend in a Peterson 05 Christmas Pipe from 2015 on this Memorial Sunday evening. I know that I’m mixing up the holidays, but neither the pipe nor the tobacco really care.

    Sutliff’s Voodoo Queen in a refinished MM cob. Howlin’ Wolf playing over the speakers. That’s evil. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRlbgi82tss

    MANCAVE MAKE OVER IS COMPLETE (picture heavy)

    That's no mancave. That's a gentleman's lair.

    Prince Albert 1.5 Ounce Box

    I smoke it from time to time and probably enjoy the most of any OTCs available here in the states. It's simple and satisfying. Comfort food.

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (May 2018)

    Benjamin Hartwell Signature Blend in a Ron Powell bulldog. Today marks the beginning of the Memorial Day holiday weekend here in the US. To my compatriots; I very much hope that you enjoy your weekend, enjoy your friends and family, enjoy yourself and definitely enjoy your pipes, but remember...

    Fred Bass Meerschaum Claw Heading My Way.

    That's a fantastic looking meer claw! I have only a few carved meerschaums because I am very picky about the level of detail and accuracy in the carving, especially when it comes to claws. There are many rudimentary ones out there, but that one is excellent. Congrats and enjoy!

    *** What Are You Smoking?*** (May 2018)

    Only enough time for a short smoke. So, it’s Comoy's Cask No.7 Single Coin Sliced in an MM Ozark mini. This stuff is like Stokkebye’s LBF but better; more Perique kick, less cavendish intrusion.
