SG BBF in an Altinay. This pipe is refusing to color.

For me, the coloring process is a big part of the enjoyment of smoking meers. I've got an IMP that's dragging its feet as well. It's coloring, but with more of a slow, even, whole body glow with no stark contrast between the shank and bowl. I guess she's more like an occasional and careful nude sun bather compared to the other which is a bikini clad sun worshiper. I love them both.

I totally agree about the enjoyment of the coloring process. I'm sure that in time, and with enough smokes it will color. I started smoking this pipe every morning just to see if it will help bring the coloring process along.

Sutliff Eastfarthing in a Grabow with hot Colombian. This is my second attempt at this blend. The first did not go well as I could swear there was a taste and smell of sweat mixed with vanilla. Maybe some drying out in the tin will have changed it.
15 minutes into the smoke and I can’t do it. That funky b.o. taste is still there. So it’s Edward G in to rescue the taste buds. I can confirm the odor isn’t me as Edward G smells and tastes great.

Starting off my smoking day with a bowl from a first production tin (2013) of Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Up early because Basil is coming over for a visit.
