HU Raiko Inbetween in a Stanwell Facet.

In hindsight, it's really strange why it took me as a HU- and especially Daddy Gefftl aficionado so long to discover this blend. It's GORGEOUS! A lot of Latakia with a chocolate top flavour - Imagine a Gawith Hoggarth Bob's Choc Flake, just with Latakia as base. Much softer, creamier taste, like a fine dessert, Missisippi mud pie or so.IMG_0054.jpeg

I have a little conundrum. I won this 1886 Charles Maas pipe set the other day when the person who outbid me by a fair amount couldn’t pay. Recherche means excellence, the finest choice, even obscure depending on the context so these pipes must be among the best produced by Maas. Anyway it turns out that “carefully smoked” meant not smoked at all and I don’t know if I should use them. It almost feels like I’d be desecrating something beautiful. I’d appreciate your opinions please because all I do at the moment is stare at them. View attachment 65065View attachment 65066View attachment 65067View attachment 65066
Awesome pipes. I'd probably smoke them, but wouldn't feel comfortable telling anyone else what to do. puffy

It is a little gray and gloomy outside, so I am smoking MacBaren HH Bold Kentucky in a Stanwell billiard.

There’s a amber cheroot holder missing from the set so I’m on the hunt for a replacement, not that I smoke cigars but it’s always better to have something complete.
I have a 1930s era Pioneer Meerschaum Bulldog in a fitted case with real amber bit that's pristine. I have other Meers, Paul Fisher, etc., that I smoke. It's an individual thing, but I'm glad I have some that are pristine.20210209_162359_compress18.jpg

A rainy morning bowl of C&D Dreams of Kaddath in one of my favorite unmarked imperfects. I smoke almost exclusively from unfinished pipes (terrible, I know) but have really been enjoying this one lately... still on the fence about the tobacco.View attachment 65097
I prefer unfinished pipes, as well, but have yet to acquire one. I'm eyeing the Savinelli Riccio and Ghibli in 320KS, or a Series III.
