Not sure but C&Ds Burley #4 smacked me before dinner today. Put it away and went to Epiphany, an enjoyable all day smoke. Not into strong nic hit either.

My wife and I were married in August of 1972. She worked at Disney World in Orlando 6 months before we married and had an emplee discount so we honeymoond there staying at the Polynesian Village, there only hotel village back then; (Maybe they had the modern hotel of the future). In any event I...

You know Jim, a 100 dollars 50 yrs ago would be closer to $500 today. They always gave us employees a 50% discount, or Diebel's cost. I think Fred thought that we clerks would sell more if we were smoking the best in his shops. Consequently, I have a lot of pipes I couldn't afford today. I...

Singed a little too dark in my gazebo now, but will post some tomorrow. I found it on eBay 20 yrs ago. Paid about $100 for it. It's beautiful with green glass and oynox inserts, all brass and metal. I have no idea what it came out of, but thought perhaps a smoker car on trains of the era.

Such is the case IMHO. I own 3 Sav. Autographs - 2 sand blast one with beautiful grain. All were purchased in the late 60s and early 70s and were gifted to me after the owner's death - a professor I had in college. Autographs were top of the line back then, and there are NO fills. I also own...

My Charatan Distinction DeLux, also a 70s purchase, has a grain that is perfect I don't have a clue how Charatan didn't rate it Supreme, but understand they could be a little sloppy with grading. Going to fire it up after dinner. Thank you, as I know how you appreciate beautiful pipes. I have a...

Thus afternoon in the mancave. Beautiful 50 degrees in Fargo. Drinking Diet Coke, watching The Rifleman. 1/2 way thru a bowl of C&D Burley #4 in my Ben Wade freehand with acrylic stem purchased new by me in the 70s. #4 is a little too earthy for me, so setting it aside for C&D Epiphany in my...

Singed, I think you are in Winn, me 240 miles S. in Fargo. There is a chain of coffee shops called Caribou that sell beans. Being Canadian the Caribou herd has migrated South and invested in coffee stock. 😊

Caribou decalf whole bean ground by me coffee this AM. I love my mason jar filled with well aged C&D Epiphany and my Brigham pipes - sublimely good. Full bent #23 Heritage. Listening to SXM 40s music and working at my roll top.

Oive the tamper. Who made it?

You might want to look for Basil's autobiography In And Out of Character. Amazon has it.

I thought I would share with BOB members my Sherlock Holmes collection. The Persian Slipper I found in Jerusalem. Very lucky to have a tin of Arcadia Mixture. The pipe in the dog holder is a WDC Wellington with nickle band and a acrylic extension I turned for the original vulcanite bit and is...

My Benchmade with C&D Epiphany 05. In the mancave. Fire going. Pioe wonderful after dinner. Glenfiddich my drink.

Long after I was there.

Jim, its been a long time since I visited Peretti's shop in Boston. If memory serves me, didn't they have a collection of antique erotic Meerschaums in a glass display case, that was covered so as to not offend the sensitive among us. 😊

Smoking C&D Epiphany vintage 05 in my Brigham Alganquin 209 apple with filter and vulcanite stem and in my own Ziggy Benchmade with Yellowheart shank and acrylic stem. Coffee is Kirkland whole bean ground decalf. Wonderful morning and the Epiphany is fantastic.
