[dottlejockey]

Heading out with a cup of coffee and a Ser Jacopo L2 full of OJK White. Then off to handle some appointments.

My CRF w/P finally arrived from Smoking Pipes today, so here we go! Along with the tobacco, I got a new Ropp Smoking Pipes 25th anniversary sandblasted bent apple, that's supposed to resemble the SP logo. So far I'm really impressed by both!

Seriously considered getting one of those but they were gone pretty quickly. Glad you got one!

Starting Stoptober tomorrow, giving up the pipe & baccy for a month, possibly until the Sealed Knot Battle of Nantwich next January if I'm going there.

Maybe it's just me, but Dan, it may not be the best thing for a fellow who practices his axe throwing and has 46 bullseyes to his credit...... to give up smoking his pipe which gives him pleasure and relaxation for an extended period of time.

If we hear about a series of "axe-related-attacks" in the Chesterfield, UK area....... you know who we are gonna suspect.....

Man, Scarlatta has got it going on with the grain. What a looker.

Right up there with Cavicchi I think, as far as straight grain ratio. Makes you wonder- are they just getting all the best (prettiest) blocks, or are they just meticulous?

Man, what a looker!!! The grain consistency on that is such that the original block of briar must have been a one in a thousand piece. Congrats.

I think, partially due to being in Italy & partially due to relationship with briar sellers, RS (and some others) gets a much better ratio of quality blocks.

They’d have to- they put out too many pipes with fantastic grain to indicate otherwise..

Now smoking Pirate kake again in the old altinay. A perfect pipe for this blend.



And filling a pipe for later today, the last one in september 2025.
