My First Altinay / Coloring progression

[Sinzalot]

Everything right this second its Capstan "blue" mostly I've been smoking the local B&Ms house blend it's really close to lane 1-Q but not exactly the same.

Well keep it going, she's looking good and I hope you're enjoying the process. Happy smokes

What a beautiful pipe, and LOVE the experiment. Thanks for posting with a clear count, I am very interested in seeing the progress over time. I am surprised by the amount of coloring already at 50.

I am as well I have several paykoc meers and some of them have hundreds of bowls thru them and nowhere near this much color. I love this pipe its a great smoker and that has made me love meers again.

It may doing the same for me. I was thinking that I will be leaving the Chicago pipe show with a meer Bulldog / billiard with a square or styled shank. Your pipe is the one that I was envisioning. Seeing it color only strengthens my desire to get one.

It is a very light pipe as well it surprised me when I first picked it up. All of my others except my I. Beckler are heavier some are smaller than this bulldog yet weigh more. Good luck in finding what you are looking for. I have never been to a pipe show but I hope to make it to a couple of them next year.

This is my first pipe show. Not sure what to expect, but looking forward to it.

I can't stop smoking it to smoke my translucent claw from Altinay I'm amazed how quickly this thing is coloring.

Cheese and crackers that is looking fabulous. Good for you, and it looks like 25 is a good update number on this beauty.

That's coming along nicely. Coloring fast!

Nice! I’m a bowl a day (if lucky) guy, so, it’ll take a bit longer for me.

It’s interesting how the rustication on the shank (not really rustication, but whatever it is) effects the coloring here! Excited to see 100 and beyond!

I believe that the piece of plastic the is in the shank may have something to do with it's coloring as well not sure if it is glued in or how it stays in place it is not threaded. That is something I should as said about I guess. I also blow the condensation back in to the bowl out of the shank so that could also be a factor.

That is some good colour for 75 bowls. I’d be encouraged if any of my meers coloured that fast!

 

[Jbyrd]

Ok heres 101 bowls.

 

[gervais]

Sweet pics man! Keep it up!
