New St. Patty's Day and Dublin Aran, Pics Attached..

[smokenscotch]

Well, my St. Patricks Day 2012 80s Bulldog has arrived from Pipes and Cigars and it is heavenly. My first bowl I enjoyed, was some Erinmore Flake which as fantastic as well. Very nice smoke, citrus like, tangy almost.. It smoked wonderfully, perfect draw, nice weight, pefect for me. I like to clench my pipes and walk around and it really suited my liking. I also picked up an Aran, a smaller pipe, that I intend to smoke stronger flakes in, like Irish Flake. The Dublin Aran is very light and easy to walk around the yard with. Enjoy the pics.

Nice pipes, nothing like a good PAD for St. Paddy's Day. Isn't he the patron saint for pipe smokers?

Saint Anthony Claret the patron of tobacconists and The patron saint of pipe smokers is St Bruno of Cologne born 1030 died October 6, 1101. A brand of pipe smoking tobacco is named after him.

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks. I'm very pleased with the purchases and I look forward to trying the Dublin Aran. I'll let you know how she smokes as well.

I so want a 2012 St.Patricks day, hesitating between the 999 (to add to my other ones) or go for a different shape this time like the 68 Bent Brandy.
Or... just get them all and buy the whole set :rofl:

Is that a 268 Aran? I have a 268 Aran with a p-lip and it's a great little zulu to smoke flakes out of, perfect size and shape.

I like the bulldog. I was eyeing the canadian, but I've spent most of my PAD/TAD funds.

Yes it is the 268. That's exactly why I purchased it, for stronger flakes. Nice sized smaller bowl for a quick punch.
