Pfeifen Huber - VGF in a HCA Stanwell during a long ramble through the Woods.
Going to have Seattle Pipe Club Hogshead in a Brebbia Iceberg (stamped Jceberg) Long Shanked Canadian/Lumberman 800.
Sillems Mayor 1814 Flake in a Stanwell Santana sandblasted bent billiard. This is a straight Virginia flake made by K&K with a honey and orange topping. Does anyone here have familiarity with this blend and also Pfeifen Huber's Golden Flake? Both made by K&K, both medium Virginias with honey and orange. I'd like to hear from anyone who has had both and can speak to whether they are the same?
Close to finishing this bowl of year 2012 Sutliff BRG in a brown “rocky” smooth medium bend 1970s Peterson 309 Standard sculpted billiard military mount with a nickel ferrule and a black vulcanite saddle stem. Gevalia Columbian Coffee, neat, is my drink. Just finished cleaning some pipes.
I haven't smoked the 1814 Flake, but I have been smoking the PH Golden Flake. I'd be interested to know the answer to your question, too.
2006 Samuel Gawith Best Brown Flake in a Jack Howell Paneled Billiard.
Getting my weekend started with Cringle Flake 2021 in a Merrick Poker and a pour of Smoke Wagon UC/UF. Hanging out on the porch with an oscillating fan on full blast, and being tortured by the incredible aroma of whatever my neighbor is grilling/smoking.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Gawith Hoggarth & Co.: Black Irish X in a Meer...
Did a second set of walking reps in this brutal weather, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and plenty of bergs is my drink.
Now smoking Pfeifen Huber Virginia Golden Flake in a 1938 smooth straight brown patent Dunhill R 115 bowling ball apple with a tapered cumberland stem. This is one of my favorite pipes.
The Sillems is in stock at SP right now if you want to order a tin. Would love to read your review if possible. Cheers.
It only seemed fitting to use Savinelli - Jupiter for the inaugural smoke in my new Savinelli Roma Lucite (Prince 315 KS). I think this pipe looks better with a black stem, but all the black stem versions are vulcanite and I'd rather have acrylic.
I was initially ran across this finish when looking for a slightly bent apple in the under-$200 range. I didn't like it when I saw it in the 626 apple shape. Later, I was just looking at Savinelli pipes in general and saw this finish in the prince shape, it looked a lot better. I normally prefer smooth pipes, but the rustication here is mild and the smooth rim makes a great contrast, so I decided to pull the trigger, and a bent apple will just have to wait.
Getting the color to show up right is hard with a phone camera, definitely looks better in-person.

Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia in a Hilson Vintage Acorn.
4 year old Marlin Flake from a Wessex with a couple shots of Illy espresso.
C&D opening night in a bent Louis cob. Man is this blend good. Hope y’all have a good weekend. 
I'm not quite sure what I was thinking. I went out on the bike for a gravel ride this morning. It was a twenty mile out and back with a 1,545 ft ascent to a max total of 6,454.7 ft elevation. It was hot and I drank about 4 L of water by the time I got back to the truck. The payoff was a bagel ham and cheese followed by a bowl of Anthology at the top. I'm home on the deck with a follow up bowl of the same and a Modelo.
