Ben, you sure have one epic pipe collection!

I’m having to lose old some to gain some new, but I think I’m headed in the right direction!

Yorktown in a bent apple Castello kkkk

Had a good bowl of C&D Virginia Flake in my #1 cob this morning.



It doesn’t seem that this baccy will ever lose the taint it received from being shipped with a bunch of bulk cherry blends, but I’m enjoying it a lot as it is.

straight grain on the bowl - perfect flame and nice birdseye on the rim. Very nice pipe.

I didn't see a reply from you anywhere, I'm sorry.
Strawberry wood makes a great pipe. They're lighter in weight, therefor I n assume density as well. I was taking it very slow while breaking this is, but at one point I pushed it a little and it never got too hot. I think it's a great wood and look forward to some upcoming commissions. Though, it may not be for everyone - like Morta, meerschaum or any other variety of pipe materials .

Please post some pics in Pipe Talk and share about it.

I’d love to see some pics in Pipe Talk, and a run down on the wood. Really nice looking pipe too, enjoy.

Thanks

Once again working on ghosting this meer with deer tongue. No luck so far. On the second tin of Gentleman caller. They tell me that I can ghost a meer quite easily, so I will keep working on it.

WOW, that cob looks amazing after 30 years, and probably GMO free too! LOL

Supposedly GMO I believe came about in 1996 and your cob is 1993. LOL

Enjoy!

Good grief.
I absolutely ruined a Gamboni commission with that vile blend!
I kinda dug the aroma in the tin, but found that deertongue turns bitter (somewhat like burley heavy blends do) on my palate.
I smoked 2 or maybe 3 bowls of it and was never able to sufficiently rid the ghost!

Ended up selling that pipe to a guy living in Ireland at the time. I wonder where it is today.

I started this project because I read the deer tongue will ghost a pipe quickly, and I like the blend. I decided to dedicate the meer that I smoked it in to the blend because of this advice. I have not been able to detect a ghost in this pipe yet. I check it with a VA blend occasionally. Maybe my palate is unrefined. I will persist! I am not a quitter!!
