    What Are You Smoking Pages.

    Second bowl of Stokkebye English Oriental in a 2006 Peterson pipe of the year poker. First bowl I smoked I thought the orientals were pretty strong. This bowl they seem to mellow out. Not sure yet if this blend will replace Stokkebye Proper English but I can see this blend being in my English...

    Same Blend, Different Packaging

    It use to drive me crazy because a lot of the tobacco shops in the Phoenix area would give their own names to bulk blends from Lane, Stokkebye etc. and then try and tell you it was their own blend. One shop I knew had the "secret" list from another shop in case people would come in looking for...

    I guess that is where everyone's taste is a little different as I've always enjoyed Proper English. I unlike most others have never been a fan of Dunhill 965. Go figure.

    Proper English is my usual go to English blend. Why I didn't bring any with me I don't know other then it was a over 65 years old moment. I usually get the stuff by the pound.

    Polishing and Buffing

    I made a buffer using an old washing machine motor. I may be wrong but I think it turns less than 1750 RPM. I use carnuba wax along with several other different polishes depending on whether the bowl or stem. I purchased a motor from Pipe Makers Emporium years back but still have never set it...

Helping to take care of my Granddaughter while she is going through all her surgeries at Shriners hospital. Probably won't be able to get back...
