I have a Savinelli Qandale he loves but it's out of his wife's price range.Get that man a Peterson!
He's loving the pipe so far. In time he'll probably pick up a couple more pipes.
That's a beautiful pipe. Love that stem!
Mac Baren: HH Old Dark Fired from 2014 in a Meer...
Five brothers in a cob. Black coffee and 2 cubes of ice, after a wonderful meal of ham.
Buckingham in a Gandalf 81 & H2O, silence.
Wooden stems are a cooler dry smoke than plastic, dissipating more heat & absorbing moisture.

C&D Kajun Kake in a meer Rhodesian by Yilmaz, with water.
Three Year Matured Virginia in a Kaywoodie flame grain zulu.
Grousemoor Plug from my previously unsmoked Pre Republic Peterson Kapruf 73.
Here in Seattle it has been raining (nearly) 40 days and 40 nights. No doves as of yet but we did get a small break in the clouds so I headed outside and enjoyed Directors Cut in a 1978 Dunhill Root, shape 41311.
Finishing the day with another round of BBF. This time in a Maddis Sandblasted Apple.
Boswell’s Cupcake in a Boswell Shot Shell Poker.
About a third of the way through this bowl of Wilke Lizzie Blood Virginia in a straight 1960s Lane era Charatan black with burgundy undertone sandblasted billiard 420 with a black vulcanite tapered stem.
???Bro hit a vortex and went back in time.
Just got home from my show. Winding down with Kramers Blend for Danny Kaye and Jim Beam Bourbon.
Time is a social construct. I choose not to acknowledge it on weekends.
Got to admit that there's (unsurprisingly) no comparison between the two separated by about forty years of ageing in the tins but I will say that the contents of the older tins is smooth as silk and an unadulterated pleasure to smoke.
Based on my experience with the few blends I have remaining from the late 70s - mid 80s some have aged better than others . . . the 1970s/80s Dunhill blends opened during the past five years - STANDARD MIX, 965, EMP and NIGHTCAP - have definitely aged gracefully unlike, say, my favourite blend from the 70'/80's - Sullivan Powell's SPECIAL MIX - which is sadly but a pale shadow of its former self.
