*** What Are You Smoking?*** (July 2016)

[newbroom]

Match ERR in a Linkman's Dr. Grabow Supreme with patent and shape numbers. This pipe is a straight Rhodesian with 'dog' like grooves on the bowl. I just brought this one in this week from an ebay auction I won for $9.99.

The stem is like new. The bowl had been heavily caked and the rim is charred but not missing wood.

I brought in two old pieces this week with a combined age of approx 300 years. One a CPF and this one.

I guess this is the direction of my pipe acquisition for now. Old pieces that are likely to be good smokers.

This is the first bowl in this Linkman's....so far, stinger and all, it's smoking without any ghosts of the past and draws perfectly.

The shape # is 9402, patent # 1896800 and all the nomenclature is crisp and easily legible.

First, HPSC Trout Stream, then SG Brown Sugar Flake in my happy little inexpensive estate IPE Prince purchased from spc... it has become one of my favorite pipes!

And I'm learning how to better handle this SG Brown Sugar Flake and it is becoming an amazing smoke!! The mysteries unfold!

C&D Balkan Supreme in a LINKMAN'S Dr Grabow Supreme straight Rhodogsian....(round bottom and shank)#9402

I just got this thing cleaned to smoke after it arrived from an auction sale yesterday and it's amazing!

I stole it for $9.99....I'd say it might be 80 yrs old and in very good condition. It's a sweet smoker.

Just finished smoking Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1976 black rough carved Pioneer Meerschaum Oom Paul with a brown acrylic stem. Floyd Norwood fixed the tenon for me so I can smoke this old pipe again.
