Yeah, i thought so, too! And quite inexpensive. He has some interesting shapes and they do seem to perform just fine, so i'm all in. Have a couple and have recommended them to others looking for value. It's real bamboo on this one. Would love to see yours.Nice looking Roadtown! Is the shank actual bamboo or carved briar? I picked up a canadian from them a couple years ago and am quite satisfied with it.
Smoking some 1980s Eicken Flake in a 1900 silver banded meerschaum 'cutty' pipe with Redmanol stem - this stuff tastes like stewed fruit or figs and I am worried it might somehow smother my carefully cultivated Rose Geranium ghost!

Break-in continues.
No one writing about this complicated and important process.
All pipe smokers going through it,but some of them like it and some of them not.
I don’t like ,but have to pas it to get in the end a good smoking pipe.
The pipe “cries “,resists,but smoking
Have a good time my friends!View attachment 306900View attachment 306901View attachment 306902
