And here I am liking pipes like that ?Enjoying some more of that MacBaren Burley London Blend in a Custombilt Original...the ugliest pipe I own IMHO. But, it tends to smoke extremely well and feels fantastic in the hand. So I who cares what it looks like.️

That stuff gets a bum rap but it’s pretty good actually.
I think everyone needs a Pirate dictionary, I know I do. I love books like that, I have an encyclopaedia of every weapon, plane, transport...well everything, used in WWll on all sides.Another bowl of Kendal Dark into a Clay Pipe . I’m reading this book that my girlfriend offer me at Christmas, i can’t recommend it enough if you like pirate & corsair . Its a dictionary with every pirate listed . Why would you need a pirate dictionary? Because ?

I got a free sample of it with an order several years ago, and thought it was pretty good. It's got a nice Virginia sweetness and the Perique has a nice fig-plum note, with a little bit of a peppery kick in the first half of the bowl. And it was a great value for the price, I bought some more after I finished the free sample. It ages very well.That stuff gets a bum rap but it’s pretty good actually.
Same here really. I’ve got some popular stuff and some stuff people probably think is not great hahaI got a free sample of it with an order several years ago, and thought it was pretty good.

I'm not much of a follower of the 'Freak of the Week' tobaccos that come into vogue... If it's something I like I'll usually buy a quantity of it to cellar, so I can enjoy it for a while. Everybody's got their own taste, and I buy what I enjoy.
