Just picked up some lovely pipes on eBay, two from 1922 and one Civic from ‘21, I look forward to to showing everyone as no one I know around here has the slightest interest in them sadly.
Anyway I’m celebrating my good fortune with some old Murray’s Erinmore Flake in this little 1901 Charles Maas “Best Make” billiard with amber stem and bone screw tenon, a gift from a very good friend. View attachment 241548
@Birddog66 Is the old Murray's Erinmore Flake much different from the modern release?

@bluegrassbrian Only ever smoked 1 clay bowl of McClelland, at Nottingham pipe show last year. Hoping to meet @tobakenist and @simong this year.
You've only ever smoked 1 bowl of a Mcclelland product?
When did you start smoking a pipe?
Were you just not interested in them or was it the availability issue?

2015 Firestorm in a WO Larsen
While watching EPL.
@bluegrassbrian - this Firestorm is really good stuff!
I think the name kept me from trying it for a long time. Likely my subconscious linked it to Gawith Firedance, which is a blackberry aromatic travesty. Also may have assumed it had something to do with "Fireball" or a cinnamon candy.

Maybe Russ had a reason for naming this blend "Firestorm", or maybe he had just been listening to Earth Crisis. (LoL).

Where is it available? I don’t remember seeing it on Smoking Pipes, not that I can order from them again anyway.

Firestorm? For Russ Ouellette blends your best bet is Pipes & Cigars.
