HU Soraya in the BST full bent.

I believe you will like them. I went after the Perfection Plug because another member here frequented it. I picked up 4 other blends and haven’t been disappointed by any of them.

I have read great reviews of their burley so finally got around to ordering some on Friday.

ES Evening Flake. Earlier in the garden in a Dr. Grabow

 

[Sobrbiker]

GLP Windjammer in a Peterson Sportsman 87. The vulcanite army mount stem got a 60* chamfer this morning and it made a world of difference.

I put a pinch of Creme Brulee in the bottom of the Peterson Pub pipe and loaded the rest up with Sutliffe 507-C Virginia, thinking that once I hit the sweet I would have about 15 mins left. Well, in a 2 1/2 hour pipe that was a miscalculation. I went about 2 hrs with the Virginia and the Creme Brulee went about 35-40 minutes past that ! The tobacco lasts forever in this Pub pipe ! I did smoke all the way to the bottom with no dottle left and didn't burn out the bottom or the draft hole so that was a big plus too. Great Saturday Pipe !

I picked this meer up, for almost nothing. I don’t know anything about it. It says Austria on the case and it has a screw in tenon. Going to fill it up with WCC Simply Red

 

[Silverwing]

Erinmore Flake, which I have an irrational fondness for, in a superb 800 B.C. Canadian with a screw on tenon made by, “Imported Briar.”

This dry sense of humor is gonna get me shot at a pipe show one day.

Getting ready for UFC 301. Having Newminster No. 400 Superior Navy Flake in a Comoy’s Specimen Freehand (probably carved by Horry Jameson). It has the numbers 77 008 stamped on the right side of the shank—not sure if this is a model number or serial number. I suspect the original tenon was modified to the current 9mm filter tenon, so there’s no way of establishing a date range based on the original tenon shape.









Special thanks to @Humblepipe for hooking me up with a pipe big enough for UFC watching!

Is that stem actually amber?

Beautiful, really nice find.

Yes it is, can you tell me anything about it?

I’m back! Been battling some health issues for several weeks. Had a nice 6 day vacation at a local hospital during that time!

Finally up to smoking again. Starting with McClelland 40th Anniversary in a Castello Old Antiquari Hawkbill. The time off seems to have helped my sense of taste.
