Hi there, Seattlite checking in. Been smoking for about 5-6 months now. Went way too deep and have probably 30 or so pipes and now two 80-gal sterilite containers of a cellar going.

I love vaburs and rich virginias. My current desert island smokes are University Flake, Capstan Blue, GLP Sixpence, and MacB Navy Flake. Starting to get into and explore more burley and DFK blends in the fall. I'm on the side of the fence that thinks Haunted Bookshop is a crime against nature.

In my free time I do a lot of sailing, meditating, reading, and spending money on pipes. Just got into the Castello 11 chubby apple shape. Somebody help me.

Glad to be here and thanks for all the historical threads I've read here while starting to build a body of knowledge about this hobby.

I'm glad to see you here, Geoffrey, after seeing you on the Speakeasy forum! 80 gallon containers, Wow!!! I'm hoping to try Capstan Blue sometime because it's so classic. I've never tried Haunted Bookshop, but I hear alot about it.

Out of all your pipes, can I please ask if you can single one out as smoking the best?

Wishing you kindly.

What's up Rako! I actually have two 120 gallon containers now lol. I'd be happy to send you a Cap Blue sample.

I think my Sedercraft commission might be my best smoker in my collection. The one I smoke the most is my Altinay Apple because I am trying to color it up.

Yeah, I've seen some Meerschaum bowls that have been really colored up. My artistic sense doesn't know what to make of it, like whether they are prettier white or smokey rust-colored. On top of that, some Meerschaum bowls have already curious designs. This Meerschaum sailing boat could be pretty cool to turn from white to a shipwood color:

This is a cool one too:
