Preparing to go on a short Sabbath walk with the family (wife & horse!). Got about two-thirds of a bowl of Sutliff Lavish English #17 drying briefly, to be loaded into my Savinelli Miele 611 KS Bent Dublin. Few birds this morning (mostly just finches and jays), but very little wind, fortunately. Storm incoming...

I’ve only made two so far. You’d laugh if you saw how I did it lol. I own every wood tool except a lathe. I drilled the holes using a drill, clamps, and steel tubed shims to keep everything in line. Stems are bought. I hand shape them with a 6” wheel, chisels and sandpaper. The first was a mimmo kit though that I just hand shaped and stained. I’ve watched old videos of famous pipe makers in the day make pipes without lathes and just followed the technique and made my own tools too. I plan on doing more. One day I’ll get a lathe lol.

@Laurent , that’s cool brother. I started out the same way and did a couple of kits and then a couple, using my drill press for the drought hole ,mortise and chamber,before I got the lathe. Stick with it sir! Your pipes look great!

2018 Esoterica Penzance in a 1984 James Upshall billiard.

Open them. They were actually still made by Dunhill back then, and you may never get another chance to smoke that vintage. The best versions were made by Dunhill.

I concur, better than running the risk of the seals going and the tobacco going stale. ?

Peretti BPC and a pinch of Sutliff Hazelnut in a cob. I think I’m on to something here

 

[ashdigger]

It’s a Loewe Day. I’m prepping for a trial so I’m going to post these three pipes all in one post. A 1910, a 1913 and a 1935 “Falkland”

 

[GabrielSTB]

Once I finish this pouch I’ll go back to smoking McClelland, Esoterica, and vintage limited editions I promise ?

 

[edger]

C&D Bayou Morning in a Peterson Irish Made Army 406 with a straight acrylic fishtail stem. I can't keep up with you people, so I won't try. Too many pages! Be well, friends.

Just switched it up to some GH & Co. Dark Bird's Eye in the Ser Jacapo Delecta bent rusticated rhodesian. I love how this shag cut behaves in the pipe.

Stonehenge in a 1982 Castello great line dublin. Every bowl is tasting great today. Just one of those great days!

I haven't been well the past several weeks and haven't been piping but I broke down and had a half bowl of Peterson's Old Dublin yesterday. Fresh from a 2019 tin. My first time with this tobacco and I really enjoyed it. Smoked it in my Kings Cross Featherweight - a nice little estate pipe that was unsmoked when I picked it up

Good afternoon. Today is the first day of relaxation and rest. Smoking happy at home, after overcoming the nerves and anxiety of giving all the good of my first job. It seems that everything is going smoothly, and that scares me. Smoking now with my Calabash Stanwell, I celebrate with Samuel Gawith: Full Virginia Flake, and a small glass of brandy. I wish you guys a happy Saturday. View attachment 134999

Enjoy the weekend, Monday comes fast. I'm glad you're doing well with the new job and more importantly, I hope you're enjoying it.
