Just finished smoking Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 1984 medium bend black grain etched Savinelli Non Pareil 9310 poker with a horn ferrule and a black vulcanite saddle stem.

Last smoke of the day is D&R Raccoon’s Friend in a pre-1980s straight dark brown Comoy's Sandblast 186 billiard with a black vulcanite tapered stem.

Beautiful, blade! Reminds me of several of my Preben Holms, Celiuses, & a Krona in particular. Danish stylings have always appealed to me very strongly!

Thanks!

Nice little shop in what's called the Mountain Mall. I buy a lot of my leaf from them by mail, & when we go over there. They have some really nice stuff, among which is a Frog Morton clone called "Not No Local." Don't ask me why. -laugh-

Burlier's is a nice all-day blend, one of my favorites. Ira (the boss) & his people really know their stuff too.

Thanks for the info. I’ll definitely check them out if I’m able to shake loose this fall and head that way.

Is the Gatlin Burlier still in business? Someone told me that Ira sold it and the new owners shut it down. I don’t know if that’s true. I hope not. I always enjoy talking with John when I go in there, that guy is something else!

 

[Country Bladesmith]

No, not him, believe it or not, but the guy right at the beginning whose head looked like it was inside a warped mayonnaise jar!

Are you talking about this guy? ???

Now packing my Savinelli Fantasy 673 with Edward G. Robinson's

 

[samuelgawith01]

LJ Peretti St James Mixture in this James Upshall Old England canted Dublin.It's a large pipe,these images really don't do it justice.

 

[JMcQ]

Amphora Burley in a Savinelli poker.

 

[Country Bladesmith]

PS Cube Cut with Community House Blend coffee to go with. Rainy day in the shop.

 

[tobefrank]

Full Virginia Plug in my Bruce Weaver sandblasted lovat. Man, this stuff is good. I'm putting it at the top of my list.

 

[Tabacco]

A mild pleasant start.

 

[Casual]

Sweltering outside with my current favourite Mac Baren Mixture in a largeish Altinay silver army mount billiard. When it’s this humid out, nothing beats a meer to help keep dottle to a minimum.

 

[sallow]

An inch sliced off of a Brickhouse maduro cigar in my "Electra" pipe, the first Ebay estate pipe I ever bought.

How did it smoke? I think I retrohale the pipe too much to smoke a cigar this way.

 

[SpookedPiper]

Finally finished a tin of HH pure VA flake. It took over 6 months but towards the end it was much better than fresh. It was terminated in a Blasted Becker 3 clubbed poker.
