My First New Briar

[JOHN72]

Well, John? How does it smoke? Post a pic of your first and what tobacco you decide to enjoy!

Hi friend Grangerous. Yes, of course. When it arrives I will show the pipe around. I'm looking forward to see how it smokes. I'm sure it will arrive before the end of the week.

Very beautiful pipe sir! Congrats!

 

[JOHN72]

You seem like such a nice fellow. I am so glad you got that marvelous Stanwell pipe. I believe Stanwells are my second favorite pipe with Molinas being my favorite. From now on when you smoke that pipe you will remember that that is your "Back To Work Pipe". I love the shape and colors and the fact that you can have a good size bowl. Congratulations, my friend!!

Hi my dear friend. Yes, indeed, this will be another very special pipe. I have to give it a name related to the new job. I agree with you. Thank you for your sincere words of affection. Thank you all guys, you are my family. ??

Today I loaded some tobacco into the Stanwell. It smokes like a Siberian train. It's very comfortable to carry in the mouth, barely weighs any weight. But it's still early, tomorrow I'll fill a little more and prepare the walls of the bowl. It smokes excellent, the air conduction is perfect. So far so good. I feel like a kid, with his new favorite toy.

Yes Dan. The calabash shape is my favorite in a pipe. I am in love with this pipe. I named it: The spirit of John...........

I personally do not prefer sandblasted black pipes but I like calabash's and that is one stunning looking pipe ! Congrats on pipe and success at work !

 

[J-Evverrett]

Looks great. And congratulations on taking the plunge into briar. The first decent pipe you get is a special one that you hang on to. I have a stanwell that smokes pretty well. Take care of it!

I just noticed the Oom Paul/ Hungarian pipe sticker on the gift wrap holding the ribbon down ... even that pipe looks great too !!! Again, stunning ! I am inspired with regard to work and pipes now and must put my calabash back in rotation this weekend !
