Cult Blood Red Moon in a Missouri Meerschaum: Country Gentleman. (Insert grizzly tough man's voice) I didn't have my lighter with me today, I had to improvise with the torch. You have to have some skill with one of these to get your charring light without burning up your pipe. But when you've been smoking a pipe for as long as I have, everything about pipe smoking comes easy. Carhartt, as rugged as the men who wear it.KIMG1518.JPG

Enjoyed a bunch of slices of cinnamon raisin French toast, and am half way through the last of this sample of year 2020 Peter Heinrichs Golden Sliced in a smooth straight brown pre-transition Barling 313 T.V.F. EXEXEL pot with a black ebonite saddle stem. Gold Star Panama, neat, is my drink. Can't think of a better coffee to savor.

The jury is still out on both the system and the P-lip. I found myself tilting the pipe up to get the stream where I’m accustomed. As for the system, the reservoir was dry post smoke, so no need for it. What I disliked was the inability to pass a pipe cleaner while smoking. That being a result of the bend and in part the P-lip. Nice pipe though.
I'm with you. I'm constantly tilting the pipe to direct the smoke where I want it, and the system doesn't really do anything in my findings.

Dueling Falcons today... comparing MB Mixture Scottish Blend with McConnell Scottish Blend (and decaf). Both pipes thoroughly cleaned, new filter rings, and both with billiard bowls. Tin notes: MB has sweet, smooth, gentle aroma. McConnell comes right out with Latakia. The MB was a rougher cut, and darker in the bowl. The McConnell has finer cut, slightly lighter color. Tore the MB up a little more before packing. McConnell straight in no problem. Lighting MB first, will see how it goes..!
