Will it take a pipe cleaner? Bizarre design.

Just to the bowl. It has that deep well. I’ll disassemble it and post before my next smoke in it. It actually smokes extremely well.

Very cool pipe!

Good morning gentlemen.

I’ve shied away from straight Va’s because I never liked it as a rolling tobacco, preferring Dutch blends particularly Samson. The third tobacco in today’s batch is Charatan Three Year Matured Va and I see that the pipe experience is altogether different. I think this is gonna be a great first smoke of the day. This is out of my bent ‘69 RockyView attachment 56992

Best smoking warning labels.....EVER!

Hello Jim. You are one of the people who mentions taking walks daily. I started today thanks to you and some other encouraging souls.
Merry Xmas to you and yours.

The restless rain has finally relented, so I'm going to walk in a few minutes, and when I do, I'll be smoking D&R Penhooker Silver in an undated straight brush etched black Molina apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem.

It’s Bayou Morning in a cob. This stuff is a sipper for me but I really enjoy the flavor and aroma. Lovely perique barnyard smells. Black coffee. Xmas music from Sirius Holiday Pops.

I thought I'd revisit C&D Carolina Red Flake after discussing my review of it recently with friends. Aging for two years had certainly taken off the harsh edge considerably and allowed a subdued sweetness to come to the fore. I feel compelled to update my review with a more favorable sentiment. Enjoying it in a Ben Wade Chippendale.

Nice! I found C@D blends to be a bit harsh in the past. I’ve revised my opinion. A little time in the cellar smooths out the rough edges on many of their offerings. I’ve come to appreciate the quality of their leaf with minimal additives. I particularly like their Virginia’s and their perique. Derringer and Bayou Morning and Three Friars.
