Pipe Of The Day (POTD)

That Tinsky Canadian is beautiful!

Erinmore Flake in an unmarked Rhodesian? Is this a Rhodesian? Saddled diamond stem and shank. But the bowl isn't what I commonly see as a Rhodesian/bulldog.



I also restored this pipe for a friend who just fell in love with the shape.





It was antique store dirty, inside and out! But it's all cleaned up and settling before my friends maiden smoke in it on Sunday. Hope it smokes well for him, the drilling isn't exactly what I would consider super well done.

Bulldog. More of a Danish style bulldog, with the taller bowl and less pronounced slope, compared to he more traditional English style.

Beautiful pipe. I'm guessing you are in a restaurant. Boy, are you not going to be happy in them stateside.

I know, I know...

City council recently banned smoking in public parks here in Portland.. kinda surprised by that one./QUOTE]
It's not going to get any less restrictive anywhere either. We are such a small lobby.

Tobacco Barn's Black Velvet that I had purchased in May of last year, and never tried before, in a Marxman Author. As an Aro, it is vaguely similar to FMC. I don't like Aros especially, but this one was not bad. Plenty of smoke, and absolutely no tongue bite. Seems to be a very light Vanilla with just a hint of something smokey. Just put a pinch in my cheek to see if I can figure out what it is.

It's not bad as dip either. Still can't pick out the other flavors.

Went to the source. Black Velvet is a fire cured Vanilla based tobacco.

I am smoking 10 year old 2015 in a 25 year old Missouri Meerschaum General. Evidently the corn crop the year this pipe was made produced smaller cobs because the bowl is much more slender than the Generals that are being sold today. The pipe has taken on a beautiful yellow color that the new cobs just cannot match.

Peretti's Cambridge Flake in a Nording bent Brandy African meerschaum...

GH Black Irish X rope in a n old Butz Choquin billiard. I forgot how "meaty" the X tastes! It's an oddball but I like it.

Pembroke in my Moretti morta billiard.

Bowl of 2010 FVF in a basket French made Canadian while walking the dog on a beautiful night out in Chicago. Perfection attained!
