Welcome back, Carol!Yay! I'm back! My last eye recheck went well. I can now smoke my pipes again. And drive again. My first smoke after far too long is my first ever burn of Ennerdale, courtesy of a kind forum member, @FurCoat. Thank you very much sir! My initial impression is, I like it. Really pleasant tin(bag) note and room note. No tongue burn. I think i need to let it dry longer. Or find a blacksmith with a spare ember!It's only my first time with this tobacco of renown, but so far, it's favorable. View attachment 290010
Glad you like Ennerdale! 20 years of smoking a pipe and I'm just now on my first tin. I waited too long!
G & H Rum Flake in a Trypis bent acorn.
Congrats on those Chants! I'm jealous.
I've never even heard of that hedgehog mushroom. Super cool!
That's a gorgeous pipe. I don't know if I've ever seen a Dunhill like this--shape or stem.
Happy IPSD to all of my Pals here. Busted out the Penzance for the occasion. Thanks Doc! Enjoying in my gorgeous Maestro Beraldi.
My two first loves for IPSD. Seattle Pipe Club Plum Pudding in a Peterson Rosslare Royal Irish 6.
Wow! Nice forage! Last mushrooms I get are Matsutakes in the late fall. Love Chantrelles and Hedgehogs.
Now smoking Wilke Little Round Top in an undated straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Sterling bulldog 150 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. This blend is Back Bay with much less perique (10%) than the regular Back Bay. Cleaning a few pipes.
Ennerdale Flake in a Stanwell Dublin Reg No. something or other. This stuff has sat around in a jar for about three months and is turning into something really good. Tastes a bit like an almond cookie with hints of rose and some other floral top notes but nicely subdued. Tobacco flavors are top notch.
Lol I saw this photo and immediately thought, “wow, I need to tell @mtwaller about this pipe on the WAYS thread…” and then I saw who was posting it
Another stunning Pete!
I got around 30 lbs of matzutakes this season and only went out a few times for 1-2 hours each trip. Southern Oregon has some of the best mushroom hunting in the world. You almost can’t go out into a tan oak forest in the Siskiyou Mountains without accidentally walking into edible mushrooms year-round.
Almost none of the mushrooms I forage are further than a 20 minute drive from my house. These ones were about 12 minutes away. The only exception is lobster mushrooms, which I have to drive an hour to find, as they’re on the coast.
Most people who hunt for chanterelles overlook hedgehogs but they’re great. They’re usually right around chanterelle spots. The tops are pinkish/white and their false gills are unmistakable as they resemble a hedgehog.
That’s great, and thank you! The stem has always fit tight as all hell, the drilling got botched, and she gurgles quite often, but I’m still just as smitten as the day I got it.

Yeah I’ve got some pipes that aren’t the greatest smokers but they’re so dang beautiful I can’t help but give them some time.That’s great, and thank you!

A good repairman might be able to address those issues for you.
Exactly. And I never even thought about it, but it could be worth a shot!
Currently drinking a mocha made from hot cocoa and home-roasted coffee (green beans from Sweet Maria's) pulled as a perfect shot from my prosumer espresso machine. Enjoying IPSD, and now celebrating the simple things with a bowl of 5-year-old Velvet in my MM Diplomat 5th Avenue. Lovely combination, and shoutout to the Artful Codger, wherever he may be.

Love the little chair pipe stand!
Kelly's Coin for the first smoke in my new Peterson Donegal Rocky X105.
Enjoyed the last bowl of Ennerdale so much I had to go back for another in the Stanwell Dublin.
