The two pipes have sold.

Wilke Crystal Palace in a Lion Meer. Had to go into town to get another packet of pipes off to a BoB brother, so that's a good opportunity to drive slowly and enjoy my pipe. Everybody else speeding by with all their stress!

My own blend called Dark Matter in an Israeli Alpha Centurion. Probably best as an evening smoke as it is made of about 70% Mac Baren Bold Kentucky, so it's not going to replace CS Cowboy Coffee as my go-to morning blend, but couldn't wait to try this fresh batch. Let's just say I'm wide awake now!

What are some of your favorite sweet & smoky blends? Mostly talking about Burley or dark-fired blends with some sweetness, not so much about aromatic English blends ( I've had good luck finding those). Most blends with any noticeable sweetness are usually aromatics that are made from...

Lane Andullo in a Villager bent billiard. Kind of an ugly duckling of a pipe but I keep it because it just loves blends with cigar leaf (Andullo, Sansepolcro, John Patton, Peretti Cuban, several DIY blends). I've always wondered who made this pipe. Some research on internet suggests it is a...

Nah, it's diluted with coffee, so that doesn't count! :p Seriously, Cooper's makes a series of coffee beans that have been aged in whiskey, bourbon, or rum barrels. Surprising how much flavor is extracted from this process, so I blend them regular coffee, otherwise the flavoring can be...

Update: The Comoy Prince is now sold.

This morning I had Country Squire Cowboy Coffee in a Savinelli Roma with Cooper's Rye Whiskey Cask coffee - a good pairing. Right now: Wilke 400 in Design Berlin Siegfried. This stuff always hits the spot!

SOLD Comoy Tradition (France) 337 Prince for sale. $45.00 including shipping and 1-ounce sample of 1994 vintage Samuel Gawith Skiff to get you started! Actually, I never used Latakia blends in this pipe, mostly Orlik Golden Slice or light Virginias. If you prefer I can send 1-ounce sample of...

Update: the pipe stand is sold. The two pipes are still available.

Continuing the reconfiguration of my collection and display (will post pic soon), meanwhile these items are offered. Pipe stand ($15), Lane Executive pipe ($25) Golden Gate pipe ($15). All three to the same address for $50. As usual, prices include shipping. PayPal, cash or check. Edit: PIPE...

My own blend called "Honey Nut" in a Medico Crest. I've been smoking up a storm these last two days developing this blend, I guess about nine bowl's worth so far, but I've spared you all the blow-by-blow account. Getting close, using Sutliff 707 Virginia, some Golden Cavendish, and white burley...

Never got to try Golden Hours but on the bright side we can rejoice that the ingredients for your Benediction are still readily available (half Bullseye Flake and half Wilke High Hat). Benediction is an easy to make hybrid that any DIYer can try. It has become part of my permanent rotation, so...

Ashton Gold in a Comoy prince. This is one best enjoyed when it is young and the light topping adds to the pleasure. This batch getting long in the tooth, but I will buy some more before summer.

Will have to add that to my next order - but probably won't be until they release their Figgy Pudding 2021.

McConnell Original Oriental in a paneled Design Berlin.

McConnell Scottish Flake in a Design Berlin Royal Star (non-filtered). Aaah . . . "Mo bedda wid chedda!" This was another one I discovered in an exchange of samples with Briar Beagle. That's the ideal way to try something new, rather than buying a 3.5 ounce tin of something that sits around...

Mac Baren Scottish Blend in a Comoy prince. I know a lot of reviewers I respect give this 4 stars, but for me it just a pleasant, subtly nuanced 3 star blend. I'd rather be smoking Wilke or any number of my own concoctions. But I've got most of a 3.5 oz. tin still to get through. I just wish...

Thanks, I just did a Google search on Tuff Shed and found lots of options. Previously I saw a nice shed at the Amish outlet nearby, but with the humid summers and wet winters I'll have to really be sure the materials can stand up to that kind of moisture. Anyhow, the wheels are a spinning!

With the freezing rain stopped, and refueled by a good Cappuccino, I put on the Yaktrax and ventured forth into the frozen mists with John B. Hayes Scottish Moor in an English Comoy Golden Grain 607. I don't often use this pipe, below the Extraordinaire and Blue Riband in their lineup, but it...
