My First Smoke In My New French Pipe

[scloyd]

I decided to smoke my new 150th Anniversary pipe from A La Pipe Du Nord (Paris) today. I opened a tin of Presbyterian, which is also a new blend for me, and I had a nice relaxing smoke. It's the first smoke I've had in two weeks. I didn't bring a pipe or tobacco with me on the trip...we rented a studio apartment and I wasn't sure where I'd be able to smoke. Turns out while I was there I saw a few pipe smokers at some of the sidewalk cafes.

Looks nice. I have a soft spot for rusticated pipes with a smooth top and this is definitly one of the finer examples^^. Let us know how it smokes.

So you're in Paris, right? Great food, great art, terrific atmosphere.

You may be even lucky to find some domestic Caporal export Pipe or Scaferlati Superior tobacco at local shops, but take them slow ,as usual, those coming on the dryer side and are quite punchy nicotine wise.

This particular pipe cost me 106 Euros ($125). It is my Paris souvenir...I will have great memories every time I smoke it.
Thanks for all of your kind comments.

It might be a trick of the light, but the stem looks fantastic on that pipe.

Acrylic or Vulcanite?

Gorgeous! Good blend choice too. Presbyterian is sometimes underrated, which isn't really fair. You made two really good picks!

Thought it was acrylic. Had that sheen.
