Ha ha, you are not kidding! And thanks, I'm working on it! Still a ways to go, it seems.Yeah, these guys are relentless. Step away for a day or two and get buried by the pages. No mercy. Get better and back in action soon...your homework will be waiting. :P
Thank you! And the cats say thank you as well!I hope you get well soon! 104 is no joke! Those cats are beautiful.
Agree with Jed. That 104 is a monster temp. Best wishes to you....Ha ha, you are not kidding! And thanks, I'm working on it! Still a ways to go, it seems.

…now enjoying some aged McC 2015 in the Tekin Lattice Dublin meer…
BTW, SG just dropped at SP.com.️
But the filter only makes me love it even more... big wide bowl and 9mm, yes please! Sweet piece sir..That is a Big-Ben Barbados, 647 made in Holland, 9mm. It’s a fine smoker with or without the filter.
Thank you @gord ! I'm very partial to it's lines and size as well. As I was smoking it, I was thinking I would love to find a Dunhill and/or a Comoy's sister(s) in the same vein...Been looking for this pipe for about half an hour . . . . mentioned in my Kewpie Doll post on PaulRVA's pipe, I'd find it, and lo and behold it was just a few posts below his lovable monster.
I'm the first to admit I don't know much about pipes, and tend to post about others' pipes that I find aesthetically pleasing and that I'd like to own. In other words, personal taste. I know nothing about the historic aspects of pipes, value, style types . . . but I'm here to learn, and when I have time I'll find out. I know it will add much pleasure to my browsing.
I do know I'm fond of quarter bent stems, love smoking them, and have about a dozen of them. I've always loved wood and wood grain (a kickover from the violin world), and this one seemed to have it all.
To me, a magnificent pipe, and beautifully presented. Kewpie Doll for sure!!![]()
