I did not know that😂
However any guy who smokes a Castello while smoking a Castello with Grape deserves props !
I don't think that highly of them. Their stem/button work and drilling leave a lot to be desired.

What I thought was a chamber coating on their dark rimmed pipes is the same stain they used on the rim.

It rained briefly, so I got in a second set of walking reps, and am close to finishing this bowl of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

Tomato was waiting for me when I got up today, and he got plenty of food. He wasn’t around when I started walking, but as I went up the street, Tomato ran towards me as fast as he could, and begged for attention. He walked with me for a few minutes, and then went back to the driveway to wait for me. He gave and got plenty of attention. I brought him in to eat, and because the scampers are not in the den, he stayed and then took a snooze on the couch.

Good day all! Started with Sutliff Cringle Flake 2022 in a Burak Connoisseur smooth Tankard with tapered stem size 2 (conical bowl); 20-plus year old Carolinas and Perique are interesting but aren't yet bell ringers. Followed with fresh GH Brown Flake Aromatic in a small Upshall sandblast Canadian size 4; yep, a bell ringer.

I've passed the first third of this bowl of year 2008 Astley’s No. 109 in a straight smooth dark brown year 1926 Parker Super Bruyere patent 3 63/F lovat with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Haven't smoked this pipe lately, but I wanted to check how this blend is because it seemed a bit smokier in the pipe I used before. I'm getting the real flavor of it now.
