The holidays are hopping and I haven’t had much time to post pipe pics lately. Still, I couldn’t let this smoke go by without some documentation as both the pipe and the tobacco came my way through the courtesy of a friend. I have here some of Herbert Motzek’s Curly Strang Cut in an E. Wilke oval-shanked billiard. My friend mentioned that he was never too enthused about the pipe. Having seen his impressive collection, that’s completely understandable. I, however, am willing to share enough enthusiasm for the both of us. What I have a harder time understanding is that he said that it took him some time to warm up to the tobacco blend. I think he may be more guarded with his affections than I am, since I am prepared to declare my undying love for it.

Enjoy your weekend, folks!
