MacBaren HH Old Dark Fired in a Bantam Falcon Bulldog. This my first bowl of this blend. I’ll need more bowls certainly. Has an astringency I wasn’t expecting. Nice room note. Has that MacBaren characteristic taste that I’m not crazy about. Sort of an Amphora/Sail flavor. We’ll see.
Addendum: That characteristic taste/aroma reminds me of the sawdust smell of red oak, if you’ve ever worked with it.

You are the only one I’ve seen post a Preben. What a mark he left on the world of Pipes, I think he was one of the greats. I use to have one of his Ben Wade freehands in the early 80s, what pipe, looking back I wish I kept it, but I didn’t think I was going to smoke again. I’ve been hunting 7 months now looking for an Unsmoked Preben, maybe one day!

Enjoy! :)

And to Preben Holm! ? ??

P.S. I just changed my Signature for Preben! :)
