Not at all. Amateur hour with me. Still learning but I am quick. Thanks and I am going to check it now. I need to increase my rotation which is basically nill beyond the 2 I think are decent (Sav, Rossi, else corns, and god knows what).
And wow. Where does one start with those? The "ones"- r they great? Crazy interesting to me.

Oh and hey- under $100 is where I need to be but should I splurge on those guys? They have some cool looking smokers. I can only go buy what folks say at this point. They are all handmade? I mean the "ones" look quite interesting. I have seen a handful of US pipe makers and I guess if I shall spend money I don't have in the range of $150- are these the bros to do it with?

 

[cosgringo]

102 or 30 looks great to me thought I could do a "one" which would take less "splaining" to wifey as I am on disability these days with a bit of OCD as regards to buying to fast.

 

[cosgringo]

Yeah its briar & just 125mm end to end, so it fits anywhere. Not an expensive pipe (converted it'll be about the $45 mark new) and the finish reflects that price, but still find it very handy

Do they ship across the pond?

Do they ship across the pond?

No idea, it'll be noted somewhere on their site I guess, but I've only used them to ship to relatives etc in the UK and then rely on them bringing the stuff to me by hand when travelling

Thx- I think I am screwed. Don't have pals that get over here these days and my Europe days are done as of late.
Appreciated either way.

SG Brown Sugar Flake a Chris Morgan BlackJack to start the (home office) day. Tasty stuff, will head over to the Danish Pipe Shop tomorrow to stock up before further Tax increases hit next year.

Lucky guy. How does it compare in your book vs. say the current oft standards like Peterson, Savs, and so on.
Oh and what taxes? local I hope.

Last smoke of the day - I think - is Smoker’s Pride Mellow Taste in an undated slight bent rusticated brown with a darker fumed top unbranded Micoli billiard with a white accented perpex ferrule, off center square shank and black vulcanite stem in the military mount style.

 

[cosgringo]

Hey- so I see these are not briar but they rally about how good they are- Their pipes!
I cannot beat that price if they are good smokes and they look unique.
Any thoughts? Sorry- I realize this should go to a different forum now.

Cosgringo: not sure if you refer to the tobacco or the pipe? On both accounts I am way to inexperienced to venture into comparative statements. Taxes local in DK yes, major clamp-down on tobacco use and flavored vape products coming in 2020, that also includes price increases for all tobacco products... Not the place here to discuss this further.

Brisk Carolina morning - my own blend; Yale Dropout in a beat up EA Carey billiard. Some guy enjoyed the living daylights out of this pipe before it made its way to me !

D&R Ramback Gold tweaked with Perique & DFK, in a no-name Santa Claus figural meer, with coffee and the morning paper.

Do u find that a heavy latakia blend or light on that? I ask as I have a new tin and I am not sure I should open it based on my recent initiation to latakia with Boswell Countryside. Thanks a ton.

To my tastes I would consider it a Medium Lat, certainly not a Lat-Bomb,
Give it a shot.

 

[pharmpiper]

More snow. More shoveling. More Old Joe Krantz in a MM Diplomat.
