Best of England

[anenglishman]

Hello from England - your President is doing a great job over here right now, and believes that the Queen symbolizes 'the best of England'.
Good to know from fellow pipe smokers what you believe represents 'the best of England'
Best wishes
An Englishman

Welcome to the forums.

 

[capnbellamy]

As an Englishman myself, probably Peterson's or Dunhil :P And MacBaren, if they're english..

 

[papipeguy]

Pipes, tobacco, ales, MG's and the fact that you have a Queen and not our president.

 

[jwp159]

Dunhill enough said

 

[davebell30]

Welcome to the forum and as an aside, because of my Irish heritage, it was grand to see that not only your Queen but our President both saw fit to visit and pay their respects to the "ole sod" of Ireland

 

[kashmir]

That's a no-brainer: Dunhill pipes of course.

Welcome to the PipesMagazine.com forums!

You can keep the queen, and Obama too for that matter; just keep making those great blends and pipes! :clap:

 

[unclearthur]

Urge S G to produce faster! Love those potent Lakeland blends.

 

[anenglishman]

Thanks for a warm welcome to your forum!
We rely on you guys to keep our pipe tobacco supplies flowing, and our pipe makers in business. Many thanks from England for that!
I see that Dunhill is ever popular - and out of my price bracket because they are
Sam Gawith is an institution - hoping to get up there later in the year, to do some photographs.
I'm with Papipeguy on the ale and MGs!
Which personalities do you see as reflecting Best of England?

 

[baldy]

Monty Python

 

[bigvan]

Upshall

Ashton (Bill Taylor and Jim Craig eras)

Ferndown

Millville
All are equal to or better than the average Dunhill.
Not sure if Larryson counts as "English" but my Larryson billiard is one of my favorite pipes right now.
Invicta and Blakemar are both excellent and inexpensive pipes.

 

[collin]

:D Thanks for the "best wishes",...and welcome!

 

[morlader]

Aston Martin,Real Ale and Sam Gawith. :puffpipe:

 

[anenglishman]

Some fine choices there gentlemen.
I can see that I'll have to smarten up my sartorial act if I'm to keep up with some of my fellow forum members (thanks for your welcome Tommy!).
Paul Hubart of Larryson is living, and making pipes in England, in a very wonderful part of the country too. I don't have one of his pipes but I do have, and greatly enjoy a morta billiard by Chris Aswith who learnt pipemaking with Paul.
I always feel it a pity that Churchill didn't smoke a pipe. What do you suppose he'd have smoked?

 

[anenglishman]

Meant to say ...
Paul Hubartt Larrysson is living, and making pipes in England, in a very wonderful part of the country too, I think that qualifies him.

"I always feel it a pity that Churchill didn't smoke a pipe. What do you suppose he'd have smoked?"
Well,....you can bet your sweet life it wouldn't have been a Peterson!

Just had a wander in the garden after dinner, a bowl of tobacco, and a pint of Old Speckled Hen.
Warm breeze, blue sky darkening to dusk, blackbird song echoing in the trees, honeysuckle and foxglove in bloom, and the cathedral bell sounding nine.
England, and life doesn't get much better than that.
