I just picked up a few new (to me) blends from GLP today, and I am on my second bowl of Cairo, this time it's in an antique full bent custom banded bulldog.
Just finished smoking Euphoria (Amphora Red Match) in the very first pipe I ever bought ($2.95) in 1974; a smooth three quarter bend Dr. Grabow Omega. Next is Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 1982 black sandblasted paneled slight bend Savinelli flat bottom sitter.
With a few days of exploring Balkan blends, dipping my toe into the latakia waters, I've just cracked a tin of Nightcap. Time to jump in. I think that I'll dedicate a straight bulldog to it.
