Woo Hoo! Squadron leader is good stuff :-) Curious to see how you compare it to the Proper English.

I will let you know :-)

I really enjoyed Squadron Leader. That seems right up my alley.

Ok, so I have hit the pipe slope with a running start. My wife has been helping as well.

I just received a new T. Polinsky pipe I won on Ebay. I snagged some pictures from the auction.

I LOVE this pipe. I think it's beautiful. I also like the oversized feel as well. The pipe also doesn't get so hot. I smoked it last night for the first time. No complaints whatsoever.

Then, for fathers day, my wife bought me some tobacco, and a new pipe lighter. Here is a pic I found on the interwebs.

Went a little crazy when smoking pipes had their Independence Day sale.

A pound of my favorite tobacco, G&H Louisiana Flake

Grabbed a tin of Nightcap to see what the hoopla is about. Couldn't resist the Xikar pipeline lighter. Works like a champ so far.

Louisiana Flake? That stuff any good?

Looks like a nice pick-up.
[Reply]

Not as good as the aged example I was bombed with, but it's pretty darned good. You should try a bowl sometime.

Sorry, not opening any new stuff up. But, I might have to order some more to cellar, just so I do not run out later.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

WOW that is BEAUTIFUL work. Someone beat me too it but I am glad to see what it could look like before I was to get it done anyway. I have a OLD Large Bulldog that I have been telling my wife now for the last 5 to 6 months that I am going to Sand Blast it and change the color. That pipe is Beautiful there. NICE work

I had sent the pipe to a pipe maker in Texas to blast. I DO make a pipe from time to time, but for what he charged compared to buying all the blasting equipment & learning how to do it, I was more than happy to pay for it to be done. I think it only cost me $20 then I had to re-stain it.

Couldn't help myself.

Luxury twist flake, another 500g of Louisiana Flake, a pound of LNF, Beacon Extra that sounds tasty, and SP threw in a cube of gaslight.

That should get me to the playoffs. :-)
[Reply]

Where did you get this from?

Some good stuff there.
[Reply]

Picked up a 100g tin of OGS, 3 X 50g tins of D.E. Gatsby Luxury Flake, and 8oz of bulk blend your own from P&C.

Also picked up these pipes:

Unknown Calabash with flush mount cup.

Unknown metal pipe, pre-war (I think)

Had R.Santia make a replacement cob bowl for it.

Smoking pipes in Little River. They've always had what I wanted in stock. P&c was out of stock on the Louisiana flake for a while. Best part is that I ordered Sunday and it was on my porch Tuesday. Apparently I live close enough for free overnight shipping :-)

I don't smoke a pipe too often, but I do like them. Picked up this large Rhodesian on eBay. A Wozniak hand made. It's huge - 6cm diameter handful. Really nicely made and presented complete with sock.
