The Mail Come, The Mail Come, Charatans

[nsfisher]

Seemed like a long wait but it was just the normal delivery time. Two Charatans from John (manytrees)

both in exceptional condition.
Charatan London Make, (it's a sitter)

Charatan Belvedere, (huge monster bowl)

From flyfishn also in mail today (thank you Tony) I have been wanting to try the half & half. Not sure what the other blend is though

My purchase to myself

I live the look of that blasted sitter. And cant help but notice the warning on the Drum. lol.

 

[nsfisher]

Ya, I use the Drum as a base for layering my bowls. I layer prob 90% of the bowls I smoke.

 

[tokerpipes]

I do the same with some of my stronger blends with 1Q. Surprised and the difference it can make on mellowing some of them down and bringing out the flavors on others. Maybe you should do some reviews on different blends with layering. I would be interested to see that.

Beautiful pieces. I especially like the first. I recently acquired a Canadian style 409. It is already a favorite.

 

[dervis]

Great looking pipes, and always good to get a "mystery" tobacco to smoke. From flyfishn's description sounds great.

 

[winton]

I have a lighter just like that one. I really enjoy it.

I love the pipes, particuarly that Pot, Pre-Lane I assume because it doesn't have a double-comfort stem?

 

[uberam3rica]

I really like the sitter. Its always nice when several thing come in the mail at once isn't it?

 

[markw4mms]

Nice score... :clap:

 

[arabpipesmoker]

Love the 1st one and wish you enjoyable smokes.

 

[hnryclay]

I like them both, underrated maker IMO...

 

[vodomagoo]

Love the sitter, very nice looking pipe you have there

 

[nsfisher]

hey nsfisher, you will love the way charatans smoke

Yes they do smoke effortlessly for sure. However, they tend to run a bit hot. Does anyone want to venture a reason on why? I think Charatans have a need to be smoked extremely slow, perhaps that is the reason.
Thank you everyone for the nice comments, greatly appreciated. I have been upgrading my collection over the past couple months and am fast running out of room. hahahhahaah
