What do you think of the Nyala? Just got some but not ready to open another tin until I finish some already open.After dinner bowl of Nyala in an IMP. This, with a double shot espresso and cream, counts as dessert.

Ooo. Must pet the dog.Cigar Sunday! Local B&M Nicaraguan that’s perfect for a late fall walk with Welly. Don’t want to be out here at dusk though. Coyotes are everywhere.

Jeff,It took a long time to find a pipe to dedicate to this blend, but I finally found it. Having Cornell & Diehl Engine #382* in a Bavarian Hunter with deer art on the two porcelain portions, horn shank connector and genuine deer antler shank, and horn stem with an orific bit. No firm idea on the age, but it might be late 19th–early 20th Century given the stem material and orific bit—it certainly seemed like it had 100 years of inspissated** tobacco juice lining all the parts. Compared to cleaning that out, replacing the cork shank gasket was a piece of cake.

* A nod needs to go to @Chasing Embers for first making me aware of this blend.
** A tip of the hat to @OzPiper because he uses this word more than anyone else on the forum.
Do it man! The more the merrier. Or in this case cheerier!I suddenly feel the urge to come visit my kids.
I think it’s just the way the camera was perceiving it against the white background. Doesn’t quite look like that in real life or in most pictures.That's the blackest pipe I've ever seen.
