Thanks! I blew right through that 3 pipe rule a long time ago, when it comes to my Tinsky assortment. With the exception of 3 Larryssons, 1 Paulsson, and 3 meers, Mark’s the only artisan pipe maker I have bought from. I don’t consider myself to be a collector - just a pipe smoker who appreciates a good pipe. I’m not knowledgeable enough about the different makers to avoid buying a disaster. Once I smoked my first Tinsky, I didn’t see how anyone could do a better job, so I’ve stuck with him. I haven’t bought a pipe in a couple of months now. After my last purchase of a set of 7 from him, hopefully I’ve bumped up against the stops on my PAD. I guess time will tell. Thanks again for the compliment.

2013 Escudo in a Bones Anse.
So good.
So good.
I think I have a couple tins from 2013, and I’m all out of my daily smoke stash. Might have to rectify that. Or do I save it and just open a more recent vintage.
Fresh Escudo is too spicy for me. Add a few years and it wonderful.
I forgot to comment when I first read your post. How much better does it get? The oldest I have is a little over three years old.
Erik, it gets more complex and a bit sweeter. It isn't a very complex blend to begin with. But the added age brings out nuances that weren't evident when younger. I am glad I have a bunch of tins stashed away. This is good stuff. Not the best VA out there, but damn good.
MM965 in my 320
Gee, MM965 is kinda yummy with a year of age on it. Sweeter and milder than I remember it to be. Hope the rumors are true and STG brings it back!

Nice Savinelli Gaius.
Probably KKKK or G sized.

Good Friday indeed.
I can't even remember the last bowl i smoked. At least a week ago. Remedying that situation with Salty Dogs in my Pohlmann...
Even if you haven't been smoking much lately, just post pictures of that pipe every now and then to keep me motivated. So nice!

Used to have fun with Commander Yellow Pantyhose
