L. J. Peretti’s Thanksgiving Blend in the NASPC 2013 POY. (Note: this pipe was carved by Scott Thile, who made 30 of them. At Jeff Knoll’s request, he made a slightly smaller version for me, because I found the bowl size in the original to be a bit large for my preferences. It’s still a fairly good-sized pipe, but it works well for my needs. I usually smoke Seattle’s Plum Pudding in it, though the Thanksgiving Blend performs like a dream.

Relaxing after a wonderful salad, rainbow trout and snow peas dinner with strawberries for dessert. I've about a quarter of a bowl left of Mac Baren Scottish Mixture in a straight, smooth brown 1960s Lane era Charatan Special 38 bulldog with a black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink.

McCranies Red Flake in a Rubio. Absolutely great tobacco smoke in a great pipe. Wish I would have purchased 50 tins of this when it was still available.

Have just one more bowl of Whimsical left after this. Cold evening smoke in my Novak.

Now smoking John Aylesbury Scottish Blend in a 2003 medium bent Ural meer with a lined and etched egg shaped bowl with a silver band and a brown pearl acrylic stem. Working on a review of this blend.

First pipe in over a month.
Last month I tried starting a campfire along with my pipe and almost started a grass fire, but now with the world covered in solidified water I can make campfires anywhere and everywhere to my heart's content and just walk away from a burning log care free.

Tonight I had a bowl of Frog Morton Cellar, and a 50/50 blend of GH Kendal Kentucky and Sutliff Red VA, smoked in a pair of freshly re-drilled Tsuge "The Tasting" pipes (that used to cost a lot less than they do now).
(The skinny shank Chimney pipe is only a 3.5mm bore through 2/3 of the stem, finishing at the original factory 3mm. The Pot is bored halfway at 4mm, then 3.5mm to the button.)

Less than a year ago these pipes were selling for $60 a piece, they're nearly double that now.

I've had the Tsuge Tasting (23) on my SP wish list for a few months and in that time the price went from $80 to $100.

How do you like them?
