I'm very sorry to hear about this unfortunate turn of events. Life owes you one.Well, knowing how much I love grape tootsie pops, a friend sent me a tin of Visions of Celephais. I tried it today, in an old cob. Hmmmm. It smells great, no doubt of that. Let it dry about 30 min and it stayed lit for me. But wow, did it bite! Burned my tongue rather nastily. Might be the Virginias I suppose. Sooo, it's jarred up, labeled and will stay there for a couple months. At least I can say I tried it. Couldn't taste the grape, nor the spices everyone talks about. I like an occasional glass of spiced wine, so was looking forward to this. Can't taste nothin right now. Sigh. Live and learn. View attachment 250140
Just got done refurbing this CPF
-Colossal Pipe Factory- pipe, from what I can glean from information gathered so far it’s a pre KB&B which would put it somewhere before 1898 but quite possibly later as these are difficult to date exactly. Now ghost free I’m going to make the first smoke Bankside and see how it goes. This was a gift from a good friend after one I brought on eBay wasn’t sent, probably due to the seller getting a higher offer and being a total dick. View attachment 249367View attachment 249368
Nah. Thanks, but it's probably my own fault anyway. I tend to puff too hard sometimes. Life doesn't owe me anything. Who knows, in a few months, I will try it again, and might love it. We shall see.I'm very sorry to hear about this unfortunate turn of events. Life owes you one.
I’ve been admiring this set up for a while now. The tobacco and pipe organization is excellent.Thank you! It was actually one of the last 60 slot racks that Ken Lamb made. Just by luck it fit perfectly. Also lucky that both rack and secretary are mahogany, only made about 80 years apart.
