Chacom Zulu

[mso489]

Here's my latest PAD, unavailable because I just bought it, and took it from my mailbox.

Nicely shaped, designed pipe, very light weight, but with a hefty stem.

SP still has a smooth version available, I believe.

What a graceful looking pipe. I like it .

Very nice. Let us know how it smokes... There have been a couple new Chacoms added there lately that have caught my eye.

 

[hotshot]

Very nice pipe !!

 

[papipeguy]

A great shape and yours is very nice. I have a couple and don't smoke nearly as much as I should. Now I am inspired; so thanks. Enjoy yours.

 

[yazamitaz]

That is a looker mso. Have you thought about what baccy you will smoke in it?

 

[mso489]

yaz, I may break it in with Granger, but I'm looking forward to some PS Navy Luxury Flake,

and maybe some Dunhill Elizabethan aging in its tin. I like Virginias in a smaller bowl; they

seem to amplify the flavor in a pleasing way. Bulldogs are good for Virginias too. Granger

has a nice easy burn and stays lit for breaking in a pipe.

Congrats - very handsome pipe! I have yet to get a Zulu, but they are on my short list. Will be curious to find out how you like the Chacom.

 

[mso489]

Aw shucks, I cut to the chase and packed the Chacom zulu with PS Navy Luxury Flake; the little

pipe really drags a world of flavor out of moderately rubbed flake, and gives a good long smoke

out of a modest size bowl. As I'd hoped. The little bowl heats up some, but not so you can't

hold it comfortably, and it's really light for clenching. Looks like a deal. And it is a handsome

little devil, if you like zulus and blasts. Has a little color to it, which my other zulus don't.

 

[yazamitaz]

I like your thought process mso. I hope she supplies you with decades of great smokes.

Very nice take on a classic and classy design. Congrats on the purchase. What type of blend do you plan for this beauty?

 

[mso489]

As mentioned, rolldog, this is a natural born Virginia burner. Sure is. It's calling to me now!

I might have to let the zulu rest and do this bowl in a bulldog. Want to break zulu in easy.

 

[prndl]

well done, sir.
the zulu shape is starting to work on me.

 

[monty55]

Sexy curves on that pipe. Striking!

Handsome is exactly the right word. +1 Six.

Very nice pick up, indeed. The only Zulu I have is a Chacom and is a good smoker. I always appreciate the visual side of Chacom's offerings, they have a clear sense of style throughout their offerings.

 

[fadingdaylight]

Good lookin pipe, that is for sure. I have seen quite a few nice Chacom pipes lately, including a cutty over on SP at quite a nice price..

I've been looking hard at zulus for my next pipe.

I really like the curves as I look at a zulu from the side of the pipe.

However, it appears that zulus have a wide tip.

I'm not sure I like that.

If there's such a thing as a zulu with a normal tip,I want it.
