Looks like you busted out the power tools and made a gorgeous pipe.
Don't know how to do that yet , any help and advice gratefully appreciatedWe like pictures friend.
Interesting pairing. I can definitely see how the mango would do well with a Vaper like 633.
Two feet of pastrami and two bowls inside 30 minutes. You sir are a Titan amongst men.
I know everyone says those filters are good for multiple smokes but I cant bring myself to use them more than once. Things get kinda gross in there.Peterson Early Morning Pipe, in the same Falcon International stem as earlier this afternoon but with an English blend dedicated Hunter Bulldog bowl now.

I was curious what effect the Falcon system and a 6mm Dr. Grabow filter would have on Early Morning Pipe, given how much it smoothed out the Haunted Bookshop I had earlier today. What I learned is that the flavor of Early Morning Pipe stayed the same, though the filtration system took all the acidity out of the bright Virginias.
On one hand that was nice since it allowed me to retrohale it quite a bit without sinus discomfort and gave the smoke a softer mouthfeel, but on the other hand part of what makes EMP work so well is the interplay between the acidity of the bright Virginias and the sour tang of the Orientals; so taking all the acidity out of the Virginias does muck up the balance of the blend a bit.
Still, it was a mellow and very enjoyable smoke. I also learned that if you're going to go from smoking a Burley blend to an English blend, change the filter first. The filter is good for two smokes, but the residue left in it from the first smoke of Haunted Bookshop did impart a little bit of that distinctive Cornell & Diehl magical barnyard funk to the Early Morning Pipe and I don't think it benefited from it!
It took much longer than that. Just over an hour and a half for all of that. I had about five minutes left smoking the 4AB. The Comoy's second is small, and took me about 45 minutes. Lunch was almost an hour.
I’ve never heard that a pipe “filter” can neutralize the pH of Virginias.Peterson Early Morning Pipe, in the same Falcon International stem as earlier this afternoon but with an English blend dedicated Hunter Bulldog bowl now.
