Well, it was another long, hard, hot and stressful 14 hours at work last night…. Time to relax with a BIG pipe full of tobacco and a Sweet Water 420 Imperial on the side. I’m going to try something different, GH Scotch Flake, rubbed out with a generous pinch of GH Kendal Gold Vanilla Shag mixed it. Smoking it out of a pipe I rarely smoke, mainly because it’s BIG! It’s an Ardor “Old Briar” (Dorelio) Dublin. This was a very limited series that Ardor did. The briar used in them was cut over 100 years ago. I can’t remember right off hand where they got it. Seems like it was from an old pipe shop that had been closed for decades with a lot of stuff left in the building, if my memory serves me.
the pipe is huge! I don’t remember the exact measurements right off, but the bowl is well over 2 inches deep. I’ve included a couple pictures of it with other pipes of mine, none of which are exactly small, for comparison. It’s a very unusual and special pipe though.
Hope everyone is having a good day!

From "meh" to tasty in about 2 months open, this proves airing out works.
Smoking some Revelation Match in my Doodler, forgot to do my hair...
Or did I?

Love the pipe Jim! How do you like the orific stem? I have a Tyrolean/ Jager that has one. Of course it’s a fully bent pipe, but it’s easier to clench than one might think. I don’t know that I would be able to say that if it were straight like your Cutty. I doubt that you are clenching that beautiful 150 year old amber stem though are you?……. Are you?……?
Some well aged GL Pease Temple Bar in a Ywalut
Best 'Pipe Face' ever! Lol?
If Phil Spectre smoked a pipe.....
Good afternoon.
Lots of tea & tobacco today. St. James's plug in a Falcon being the highlight so far.
Bringing yout the "Wall of Smoke"
‘14 Campaign Dark Flake in a MarTelo:
Finished the BIG pipe, now time for a little one….. 2020 C&D Carolina Red Flake with Perique in a Peterson Tankard.
Good day all! Starting with C&D Burley Flake #1 in a small Savinelli Autograph sandblast Burl/Fan.
I was thinking his hair reminded me of Dylan.
Mac Baren HH Pure Virginia in a Jack Howell Brandy.
Enjoyed some OJK in a Claridge (Comoy) lovat. I actually prefer Old Joe Krantz to Haunted Bookshop, it seems smoother to me. I don't think I'll continue with either because the nicotine is too much for me, it gives me the gitters.

Did some walking, swam some laps. Now hitting the daybed by the pool with some PA in a Balandis pipe, iced tea with lime and some jazz.?Life is OK today.
Going to have Prince Albert in a Dinant Prince Albert Figurative Clay Commemorative/Souvenir pipe from Belgium with a horn (orific) and cherry(?) stem, circa 1914. Unfortunately, the shank was cracked and I had to repair it with G/flex epoxy (and amber cyno with Plaster of Paris fills). But, it seems a no brainer that this needs to be my dedicated Prince Albert tobacco pipe. If I come across another one, I'll upgrade.
Love your pipe! As for the nicotine in those tobaccos, I agree! I love Haunted Bookshop, but you'll notice I always smoke it in a small pipe. Otherwise, I get the spins bad!
Today its 5 year old GLP Abingdon in a Stanwell Amber poker.
