Mac Baren: HH Burley Flake in a Falcon with a Meer bowl...

Did you sit on that pipe Dave?

 

[condorlover1]

Last smoke of the day chaps. Some thick piece of twist that needed the skill set of the local mohel to slice it up. As always my pipe of choice is a 6" meerschaum 'cutty' with a faux amber stem accompanied by a bottle of Heineken. It's 59 degrees here in Florida and I wish you all a peaceful evening. In the modified words of the Walton's - Good night guys!

Good Night JonBoy.

My last bowl of C&D Opening Night in a no name(Literally, stamped: "NO-NAME") large sandblast billiard. Smoking eeeeexxxxxtra sloooowwwwlyyy cuz I'll ignite the entire bowl if I puff fast since this thing is a 1inch bore stuffed with fairly dry VA... Gonna miss smoking this one I think, but not enough to immediately look for more.

I like that stuff, but as long as Dunhill Ready Rubbed is still available (and sporadically on sale for like $7) I don't see myself buying more, unless it's to age. DRR is very similar imho, but a splash more flavor and a much cooler burn.

Now smoking Watch City 4Q in a 1979 no name French briar smooth full bend egg with a black vulcanite tapered stem.

That's very surprising to me-- C&D tobaccos have a unique house profile to me, between the cut/flavor/source of tobacco, it creates what seems more "raw" and "tobacco-y"(sometimes good, sometimes bad) than other large distributors/brands. I will have to give that one a shot if I see it, especially since it would mean a few years of free age on anything stamped Dunhill.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Esoterica Dunbar in a smooth straight late ‘50s, early 1960s Lane era Charatan Selected 43 Dublin with a black vulcanite double comfort saddle stem. This pipe was formerly owned by actor William Conrad. Watching Mr. Conrad starring in Cannon.
