Just picked up my first tin of Maltese Falcon from the Cargo Hold, here in Washington. Remarkable piping experience!

Just ripped off a hunk of Briar Fox for Rossi 8122.

Burns a little too hot. Just my cadence. In my opinion, the Va/Pers need a smaller bowl / draft hole to make smoking it slowly more natural. I know this is individual, but in my hands, this pipe wasn't working for me, so I changed the type of tobacco. I love the pipe even more now.

Hmm, well, if you like VA/VAPers, I wouldn’t give up with such a nice pipe.

Dry the blends quite crisp, pack light, and just sip slow, and you should be good to go.

I never keep VA blends lit, constantly puffing. I only light, take some sips, let the pipe go out, cool down, then repeat when I’m ready for another puff.

Update after my second Maltese Falcon bowl:

I find this blend compellingly tasty and complex. I get hints of chocolate, ginger, dark polished leather, rye bread, with alternating sweet and sour flavors lingering through the experience. Very smooth, no tongue bite, and a pleasant aftertaste rare in piping, long after the bowl is done. Nicotine level seems to gradually emerge into the medium area. I'm piping this on a 90-degree day, and it's incredible. Can't imagine how good it'll be once fall comes around!

Starting off this sunny Monday morning with a bowl of GH Mahogany in a Peterson St Patrick’s Day Xl02.

 

[PipeIT]

hamborger Veermaster in Dr. Grabow: Commodore 65 Zulu, dated from 1967-1969, vulcanite stem, metal screw-in tenon, no stinger.

Winding down now, getting ready to watch some flicks on Prime.

This one goes out to the VA @Doctor Chopper ...

Get your pipe a humming
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever VA comes our way 🏍

Had a very busy day, so I took a forum break. I finished work for the day, fed Sleepy Suzy and Molly Danger, and then went outside to feed all the ferals. I'm nearing the last quarter of this bowl of year 2020 Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem.

 

[JimInks]

My favorite pipe!

One of mine, too.

 

[JimInks]

Half way through this bowl of year year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a smooth straight brown circa WW2 Trapwell mountain laurel patent apple with a nickel band and a black tapered vulcanite stem. I'll end the day with this smoke.

Peterson - De Luxe Navy Rolls in a Peterson and a Cup of Joe.

Reading Dune while the bowl lasts.
