Gotta Tell You about My Latest.....

[Choatecav]

Title edited for caps. See Rule 9.

I just had my "maiden voyage" smoke from my newest estate pipe and it was just a grand experience. I bought this from one of the members of this forum and it is a Comoy's Sunrise 284 Rhodesian. I went back and forth on whether to buy it or not, but the shape and condition kept calling to me. The bowl and the shank were in excellent condition but the stem was just about perfect. No marks or chatter whatsoever.

For my first bowlful, I selected Peterson's Navy Flake Deluxe, which I thought was a fitting first blend to start with, and I could not be happier with the performance. Not sure if it was the taste of the blend or the exuberance over the new pipe that made me puff it pretty aggressively at times, but at no time did the bowl feel hot. Just slightly warm. As you can tell from the expression of one of my dogs, in the photo below, the pipe is quite the "head turner."

I am thrilled with how it performs and envision many relaxing bowlfuls of various blends in the immediate future.

Dammit now I've got that song stuck in my head!

Looks like a nice addition!

Nice Rhodesian! I've always loved that and the bulldog shape. Glad the estate pipe worked out.

Stunning pipe and a great story. Congrats, friend!

Good looking pipe. I only have one Comoys and it too is a wonderful pipe.

Not much better than smoking a pipe you love and some great tobacco. Very nice !

Congrats, that's a gorgeous pipe! I've had great luck with the Comoy sub-brands; I have a Sunrise squat bulldog and a Town Hall saddle bit billiard, both punch WAY above their weight.

You are right about their "sub brands." I also have a billiard that is a Comoys Guildhall and it is very nice indeed.

Always good to hear about a happy pipe selection. Enjoy it for many years to come. ️

Man, it is a really great pipe!!

What a beauty. I love the look of a Rhodesian, but have never loved the way they feel in hand and typically have difficulty with clenching. Good for you, sir!
