I have 3 Sasieni, 2 from Joel era, 1 from Alfred, oddly the Alfred pipe wins. It could be I need some better examples of the Joel era. Outdoor Hiking is the leaf

 

[Sobrbiker]

Far from unpacked, but dug in the box enough to grab my FlameGrain Meerschaum and some GLP Windjammer.
Lots of work ahead, but it’s our land!!

2019 Crooner. Quite possibly the most flavorless smoke I’ve ever had. The deer tongue wasn’t detectable but there was some nicotine present.

 

[FLDRD]

Tobacco! In a pipe! Brilliant!
(In the vein of the older Guinness commercials)

Pegasus in a Peterson Sherlock Holmes this am

Match Sunrise in the new mini cob I got for commuting to work. It’s still a tad too long of a smoke for my commute but I'm happy spending a few extra minutes in the parking lot.

Czech tool included in the pic as a reference. I can't use the the Czech tool to tamp so I just use a golf tee which works great.

[hoosierpipeguy]

Is that an EMC?

It's a custom and was a gift from a friend. Don't remember who made it.

Cobblestone Hiking in a Savinelli Moka straight apple. This is slowly becoming my go to pipe.

 

[Zero]

Running around greasing my bearings this morning, just stopped to have a smoke break(Paradoxical in a Stanwell), A cold beer would hit the spot right now.

 

[FurCoat]

Dark Birdseye

 

[ThermionicScott]

St Bruno in a cob, with coffee.



I’ve been experimenting with using a mix of cube cuts and rubbed-out ribbons when I smoke flakes, and the results have been good so far. My working theory is that the hotter-burning ribbons help keep the cubes going.

How’d you like the OD Hiking? i have OD Camping and so far I haven’t enjoyed it.

Hiking is the only one I like from them, just straight, good quality burley.

I’ve noticed you have a few Boswell pipes as well.
I stumbled upon Boswell Pipes online back 2006. I bought two pipes that year and two more in 2008.When I was selected to go to The National War College by the Army for a year in Washington D.C., I began making trips up to their store on the weekends. Needless to say, in that year I bought several pipes including the custom poker with inset tie clasp.
I own 11 (of 52 pipes) Boswell pipes.
On the left, first two in 2006. On the right the 2008 pipes.
I love all of my Boswell pipes and smoke them frequently.

Hey alright! I enjoy mine as well. I thought maybe you were at the War College in Carlise. That would've made the temptation a little closer for you!
