    @Captain_Call  I love that cob! I want one similar to that. I like all of the Stokkebye flake blends. I have some bullseye flake that’s been resting for 4 years that I need to try soon. I’m excited to see how the flavors are melding in it.

    It was made by Marcus Bruninghaus. Missouri meerschaum diplomat bowl with the wood shank removed and a hardwood plug inserted. Then a new hole was drilled to accept the steel shank opposite the plug. I think he cuts hit own acrylic bits too. The one downfall is it is epoxied together so that it doesn't come apart for cleaning. But due to the heavy cant on the bowl, it can pass a pipe cleaner but you have to pull it through with forceps.

    Finally decided to crack open a tin of the frog on the log and see if it was worth hoarding all the tins I got. It's a keeper.

    A couple of days ago I revisited the SPC Plum Pudding Special Reserve...it just keeps getting better! 

    Yesterday I had one of my custom lightly aromatic/Latakia  blends while enjoying some pastry and tea with the girlfriend at a one of the oldest patisserie’s in Istanbul. I wish I would have written the exact contents of that blend down...it was amazing!

    The weather was being cooperative so I rummaged through my day pack and found a Missouri meerschaum Marcus and my pouch with lane 1Q in it. It had been in there for nearly a year so I gave it a pinch test and to my surprise it was still at decent smoking humidity. So I had a little 30 minute bowl while I cleaned out my trailer. Now I'm contemplating the chemical cocktail that kept that tobacco smokeable despite being kept in less than ideal conditions for so long

    PG. I hate the stuff but it does keep the tobacco pliable. Blenders also use it as a carrier for top dressing aromatics.

     Breaking in a new Hans Christian Anderson bent billiard with some SPC Deception Pass. This is my first experience with Deception Pass, and I love it so far. It is a great VaPer blend With just the right amount of some orientals. 


    I have always wanted a HCA pipe but just never got around to buying one. When I saw the amazingly low price that I could get this one for, I couldn’t resist.

    Breaking in the new pipe my girlfriend got for my birthday with some SPC Deception Pass. It’s a very good VaPer..the orientals add a little zing to the blend

    Cohiba pipe blend in an old International Selection pipe. I got it for a VERY good price, and I was not expecting much from this blend, but I can say that I am quite surprised by it. It’s a mildly aromatic, medium bodied blend with good flavor...and it produces a ton of thick smoke. Everything that I have read about it says it is a simple Virginia/Cavendish blend but I swear I can taste orientals in it...especially on the retrohale. 

    Has as anyone else tried this blend?

    Continuing the break in process on the Sahin Collection 2013 pipe with more of the Cohiba Pipe Blend. I really love the way this pipe smokes. I had never heard of Sahin pipes before I went to Turkey, but I will have more in my collection
