Never met a bulldog who didn't like meat. Anyway it looks more like biltong. Ostrich biltong actually.

Picked up this Luciano Cutty a few months back.

Awesome looking pipe. I imagine it smokes "cool" with all that bamboo?

Some people have a hard time keeping Dark Star lit. If you can, it is a great tasting smoke. I find that if you can slow it down and just sip it, there are some deep, rich, sweet notes beyond description - sort of like a dark chocolate.

Yep! Beautiful pipe Scott...

I find it helps if I dry it out till it's bone dry but I love it! It's definitely chewy. :-)


BTW, that's a pretty doggie you got there.

Did a little exploring at the B&M and found this. It's stamped 2012 on the bottom.

Looks to be a nice Virginia blend sans the Latakia. Enjoy:-)

Thanks that's part of what prompted me to get it. The one was right it does smell kind of like ketchup. Lucky for me it tastes a whole lot better than it smells and I imagine when I let it dry out a little more it will be even better.

A few new buys this week.
First a craigslist find, 9 estate pipes and a 6 pipe rack for 30 bucks.
I salt bathed them all, and bleached the stems, not sure if this was a great idea? My first attempt at cleaning pipes. A few of the stems are all gray now, any help to get these looking better would be great.

Second Buy this week. A new peterson St. Patricks day pipe.

OOh. One of them looks like a pigskin pipe. I love mine.

Picked up a Lee Von Erck - Poker on Friday comes in the mail today, I've never had this much anticipation over a purchase before... pics soon to come.

Looks like you have a few pipes in your corral to smoke. That Falcon will give you a number of bowl options to choose from (not that I personally have one, but have seen a number of different optional bowls that are available):-)
[Reply]

thanks Mark, I had no idea the bowl even came off! still a newb! I am going to do some digging right now on a new one
[Reply]

Pretty sure you can get set's for the falcon. I recall seeing a 12pk out there.
