Nice crowd this morning at the club gathering.. 11 smokers counting me. One from Spain and one from Russia.. getting quite continental over here!
Lovely weather too!

@craig61a Nice clay pipe and good baccy choice; I was smoking Peterson Irish Flake in my clay at the Sealed Knot Battle of Nantwich last January:

I think at Cromford & Nantwich I got more of the pipe than the person smoking it...

Well, I didn't know you could chew it, but I don't chew so just never investigated it.
Your daughter is an absolute doll!

I had no idea you could chew it either until stumbling across a post on this forum. The Whiskey Twist was pretty good. Thank you for the kind words!

I've never tried rope tobacco, either in a pipe or as a chew . . . . I have my 3 favourite pipe tobaccos that I use as chews in order of preference: Sir Walter Raleigh, Smokers' Pride Classic and Smokers' Pride Whiskey. All, to me, are preferable to canned chewing tobacco, and cheaper too. All are quite delicious, especially SWR. I use them when shooting indoors, fishing or hunting. Glad that I'm not alone! Bravo! And that's a lovely family you have there, too!

I've always meant to try Sir Walter Raleigh and after yesterday's experiment with Whiskey Twist I'm definitely going to have a go at SWR! Thank you for the tip and the kind words!

Peterson Pre-Republic 999 loaded up with Briggs Pipe Mixture. This is actually a pretty good smoke. Popped the tin last night. Very enjoyable.

I wish the pipe had more birdseye

I'm assuming, from the description, this pipe is Russian.
I just asked a question Tue night at Pipe Club if anybody knows anything about the pipe industry in Poland. I'd like to learn more about pipe history in Poland, Russia & other for Soviet bloc countries. Lots of info on British, French, Italian pipe industry & history but haven't ever seen much on other countries. (???)

I've been posting quite a lot about my Mr. Brog (Polish) Nosewarmer lately in this thread. Like it so much I ordered a second one for my travel kit. He's the best known of the Polish makers, and produces pipes from the folk-art to artisan level. You can start there for your eastern european exploration - lots available online.

Very nice pipe indeed , totally elegant . . . . yeah "my first true love but she didn't know it" is an old story. I had the hots for Marilyn Monroe, and so did every other guy I knew. Couldn't get enought of "Some Like it Hot" with her and Tony Curtis et all . . . . .
