Refurbished Royal Coachman- first smoke!

[Fralphog]

I picked up this wonderful Royal Coachman #497 from rebornpipes.com. (along with two others ?)
He does a wonderful job; the pipe is in excellent condition.
It‘s a ”warm”, sunny day in Idaho. I’m headed outside to enjoy some sunshine and some C&D Windjammer- first smoke!

Looks like a wide comfortable bit to me - enjoy your new-to-you pipe!

Of course, Windjammer is a GLP baccy, my bad.

same company really. Just a different blender. One is really good the other is amazing and particular even for a blender.
Though the bigger mistake is you said Idaho. And everyone knows no one lives there just potatoes and they don't smoke . Just kidding but do say hi to the other 15 people there for us. Again just teasing.

Nothing better than enjoying a Pease blend in a new pipe!!

If you live in Idaho, you need a pipe named Royal Coachman!

Yes! I’m a fly fisherman. So glad I bought this pipe. Smoked like a dream. Going to dedicate this pipe to Navy Flake baccy.

Great looking pipe.? I like it when the panels of a shank halt at the base of the bowl. Gives it alternating geometric interest.

Wow, what a nice pipe. Big generous bowl on this pot. Very balanced, light weight and, yes nice comfortable bit- easy clinch. Marvelous smoker too!

Agree, love GLP. There are some wide open spaces out here for sure. The word is out though; people have been moving here in droves. In comparison to most other states we are “sparsely“ populated- just the way I like it.
Funny thing is it’s hard to find Idaho taters in most big chain stores In Idaho. They get sold to big companies and are marketed elsewhere.
I grow my own?

I love it when you talk dirty like that...
