Smoking some 2022 Cringle Flake in last years Christmas Savinelli. Tastes better with a year on it.

This is 320KS model, or smaller 321 model? I have the same pipe (320KS). She is wonderful.

Following some post office shenanigans, I received my Asteriou birthday pipe a day late. I was going to wait until after Christmas to pay this off, but SP gave me a Black Friday discount even though I already had it on layaway. Fine folks! It was out for delivery on my birthday, but apparently my mail carrier doesn't like collecting customs payments on his route, even though I was home and waiting for him, he stuck a delivery notice in my neighbour's mailbox and said "recipient unavailable." I was a little peeved.

Breaking it in with some D&R Ramback Balkan.

Jim and I were on the same page today. Some Directors cut in a ser jacopo. Even if its not like the original blend (I never had it) this is some good stuff!

Kicked off the day with some Elizabethan Mixture and then Five Brothers in the Cob. Going to be in an audit today. Lucky me!

I can't believe how jazzed I am about this pipe. I actually hesitated on it because it's so conservative in appearance, which is not normally my jam. I like bamboo and smooth contrast stains, or craggy blasts. The Danish blasts don't normally do it for me, but Danish shaping...YES! An Asteriou cutty was #1 on my list, so as soon as I saw it I put it on layaway, and hemmed and hawed about it, until Black Friday. That was it. This thing is tactile magic. It fits my hand from all kinds of angles, like a custom made stone tool, and feels like course grain leather. The smoking properties and stem shaping are out of the park, as one might expect. Who cares what it looks like?

I have similar tastes in pipes but this one made me think twice. It”s the single dark color with that tiny stripe where the stem meets the shank that creates its sleekness. Very sharp, elegant pipe.

Bit brisk out here in my spacious, extraordinarily luxurious smoking room, but enjoying some Sam's Flake in a Blah-tay nonetheless

Went on a nice walk with the Mrs. Then enjoyed some Father Dempsey in a Batson.

Pipe Force VI in a Manz. I love the asymmetry of this pipe.

Four parts Golden Extra and one part C&D’s The Beast makes for a lovely Va/Bur\Per blend and I’m having it in a octo panelled Jeantet President 1966 Jubilee

Yup it’s the 320KS model. I really like the shape and look too!
