“New” Brulor, Terrible Taste
I recently bought one of the almost 100 year old Brulor pipes from SP. I have tried using it a couple times and it just tastes terrible.

The Pipe That Pulled Me Back In
This claw is the catalyst to reinvigorating my enjoyment of pipes and pipe smoking after a 22 year break. A year ago I attended the Peaks and Pours bourbon festival in Colorado Springs. After several hours of sampling some amazing whiskey’s I found myself with a whiskey in one hand and a cigar...- PapaCoolDown
