Aromatics are real tobacco and what keeps the pipe tobacco market alive. Just takes a long time to get the hang of them. I would never suggest them to beginners.

A quarter of the way through this bowl of Hearth & Home AJ’s Vaper in a pre-1952 Sutliff Falcon 372 (made by Comoy’s) smooth light brown straight bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Enjoyed a tasty golden delicious apple, and am smoking Wilke Gentry Royal Blend No. 2 in a black sandblast quarter bend undated Briarcraft (Dr. Grabow made) Wimbledon 810 author with a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of year 2022 Watch City Blue Ridge Special in a straight smooth ebony post-WW2 LHS Sterncrest 91 bulldog with a sterling silver band, a diamond shank and a tapered black vulcanite stem.
Some delicious Rouxgaroux in a Pete 
Passing the quarter mark on this bowl of Wilke No. 72 in a pre-1974 dark brown straight Larus & Brother Co. Signature billiard with a nickel band and a tapered black vulcanite stem with the initials LCR on the top of the stem. This blend was smoked by Walter Cronkite.
Half way through this bowl of year 2014 Edgeworth Ready Rubbed Match in a 2018 full bend smooth Terracotta Peterson XL315 System Standard military mount with a nickel cap and a flared black vulcanite p-lip stem. Work's done for the day, and I'm going to take out some of the recycle and check on the ferals.
Almost a third of the way through this bowl of Angler's Dream in a 2018 natural smooth medium bend Peterson 03 apple silver spigot military mount with a tapered black acrylic fish tail stem. That'll do it for me today.
Last bowl of a Bayou Morning Flake tin, with a Savinelli Soiree.
Parking meter crowned with GH Brown Flake A in a Stanwell 141 
You have a real treasure there brother. I would love to have one of my grandfathers pipes.
One more time St. Bruno, this time in the Falcon.
am afternoon smoke of Orlik Golden slice in a Stanwell Straight grain model 98 short lovat with an acrylic stem, Danish made
Pegasus in a MM Mark Twain.
HU Edward G in the Tekin bent brandy.
I’ve not tried Margate if I’m honest but 1820 is in a league of its own, especially the cross cut flake and I think it’s closer to Pembroke if you want to compare it to Esoterica blends. It’s far superior to Nightcap imo, but of course it’s all subjective according to one’s taste.
Afternoon everyone, I’ve been busy with my PAD recently and restoring a few pipes. I just got finished with this 1912 Chester hallmarked Civic that needed considerable work done including taking the rim down by about 5mm due to some severe chipping. It’s been exorcised of all ghosts and I think it’s ready to fire up, Solani ABF will be the first bowl.
I just received a lovely seven day Matched Grain Kaywoodie set that I’m looking forward to showing everyone, they need a little clean up but I couldn’t be happier with them.

GH Dark flake aromatic. A cruiser size broadside of Nicotine, gun smoke and maple/tonquin. Jim Links wasn’t kidding when he recommended a small bowl.
