I traveled to Turkey recently and went with high hopes of finding a new meerschaum pipe and some Turkish Oriental tobacco.

Well, it turns out that most high quality meerschaum pipes are exported, leaving overpriced, poor quality pipes for the tourists. And as for tobacco, it’s almost exclusively cigarette and hookah tobacco that’s available. Despite stopping in numerous tobacco shops, the only pipe tobacco I could find was this pouch of Captain Black Grape. Ha!

So that’s what I’m smoking today, in a cob.

Every other aspect of my time in Turkey exceeded my expectations. We had a wonderful trip in every way, despite the disappointment on the pipes and tobacco.

Not far from finishing this bowl of year 2014 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. Ice water and bergs is my drink.
