Thanks, @gord ! Hope Friday is treating you well.Interesting figure on that bowl. Nice.
Love this CAO.Another unique expression by Mr. Wiedemann. Interestingly enough, though the topping is reportedly a light caramel, something about the mixture with the dark fired VA and Kentucky gives me slightly smoked coconut on the nose. On the palate it's another story. It's mildly sweet with noticeably spicey vegetal notes and the caramel is interpreted more as smokey, creamy undertones (reminds me of a much less sweet version of creme brulee, perhaps). Overall, good stuff. Not one that i stocked up on, though. Too many great offerings and there are a handful i prefer to this one.
After dinner smoke today is Brunello Flake in a CAO.

Thank you. I am very happy with the craftsmanship and how it smokes.Beautiful pipe!
Congrats on the classy commission piece. Love the bowl shape and blast!Better get in this month - Happy Friday! A new Doug Finlay I commissioned for a Christmas pipe - sort of a “short” Churchwarden designed and perfectly executed to sit on my chest while doing this on my phone or reading - love it! And some festive GH&C American Black Cherry. View attachment 374417
Nice pic. I've been needing to get out and ride one more time and get my bike batt on a trickle charger. Heading back to Florida next week and won't be back to Washington till summer. She'll be sitting patiently for a while.Just got back from a little ride around town. Now I'm back home processing my last few orders, compliments of good old TAD.

While I input and tag everything I've got Match Victorian loaded in my Ninety-fiver with sparkling water and life is peachy.

Thank you! I actually just bought a new battery a couple of weeks ago. I let mine sit for too long without the trickle charger plugged in and even after a jump she wouldn't reliably hold a charge. In all fairness the battery needed replacing anyway.Nice pic. I've been needing to get out and ride one more time and get my bike batt on a trickle charger. Heading back to Florida next week and won't be back to Washington till summer. She'll be sitting patiently for a while.
