Carolina Red Flake from C&D

I missed that show

 

[JimInks]

Now smoking year 2015 John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia in a straight light brown 2020 Ryan Alden Ace of Spades squat bulldog with a spalted pecan top and ferrule that’s on the tapered black acrylic stem. First time smoking this belated birthday pipe.

Happy hour begins at the reloader house with a homemade "crumble plug" in a Leonessa soucano prince and some Gendtleman Jack.

Black Cavendish and PA 50/50 mix for my new pipes maiden voyage.

I started out last night with 2021 Brighton in my Dr. Grabow: Commodore 65 Zulu, dated from 1967-1969, vulcanite stem, metal screw-in tenon, no stinger, but only got 1/4 of the way through, then I let it sit overnight.

So, finishing it up today, it’s really nice, having sat over night, became lighter and sweeter.



@JimInks I’m not sure I remember when was your birthday? I really love John Aylesbury Sir John’s Flake Virginia, hope you enjoy it too, especially in that nice pipe!

I love Stanwells. And that one surely doesn't disappoint!

Thats a nice Grabow.

 

[happy_lunter]

Last bowl of Wilke’s #191. Its a nice aromatic but not exciting enough to me to stock up on.

Thats a nice Grabow.

It has what Dr. Grabow called a Big Blast finnish, the front of the pipe’s blast is really wild.

Sutliff D40 Vanilla in a carved WDC Milano Extra Rhodesian.

 

[aspiring_sage]

I try to smoke my meers only, but when working in the garage or walking behind the snowblower it seems wise to stick with cobs.

Enjoying Sutliff Vanilla Custard from my generous secret santa match.

Then in the garage I found a cob 1/2 full of Sutliff Revelation Match from probably 3 months ago... VERY DGT.

Then more Vanilla Custard. Very good!

2.5 hours out there. Moved lots of snow.

Freshly popped tin of 2018 Old Gowrie in a 1965 Charatan Executive, paired with a fermented Colombian coffee roasted in Canada.
All on a very beautiful and rainy day

I have a 1956 Dunhill with a similarly canted bowl. I’ve not seen another shaped like yours or mine. It’s not a model produced today, —model 104 with an Oval shank.

Love the oval shank on your Shape 104

My 1957 Shape 590 is the only one I've seen. I do believe it is quite a rare model
