Immediately after a wonderful lunch of ham/cheese sandwich and alphabet soup -
with extra consonants added in - I am now enjoying 50% Prince Albert and 50% Five Brothers -
to up the nicotine level - in my Italian-made 6.0" Brigham Algonquin #233 Billiard with bent Vulcanite stem.
I should have retired this pipe from my rotation long-ago, as no matter what blend I smoke in it, it heats up something fierce; however, it is the very first decent pipe I ever purchased and started me on my love of Brigham pipes and Brigham price-points.
When I need a good nicotine spike and I blend-up some PA50%-5B50%, I always use a smaller bowl, rather than 1/2 load up say my big Brigham Brandy; therefore, this pipe still makes an occasional appearance into my rotation. I have to say, of all the Brigham pipes which I own, this is
the only one which offers any "
idiosyncrasies". -
