HH Vintage Syrian in a 3/4 Bent Tinsky 5 "one star"

A the father of a buddy's of mine smoked London Dock. He called it London Dump. I tried it once. The tin/package note was a bit garbage like. Did not care for it. I wonder if it has improved. :affraid:

HH Vintage Syrian in a Stanwell 183...Smooth Bent. DGT and a lunting over 5 fantastic hours.

My latest purchase was a Tinsky that I purchased for his web site. I was disappointed that he had coated the chamber. But, it is breaking in nicely with no flavor effects that I can tell. But so is the uncoated other one that I have :sunny: .

Wild Rose in a Kirsten Rx with a large custom bowl.

At least your F'en post are short enough that I can read them before I drift off into a senile slumber. :drunken: :sleep:

Thanks for the tip BH. It sounds like things have not changed. Last time I was there he opened later than posted. :suspect:

I am going to be in OC next week and would like to get some Irishman's 5 o'clock. Has anyone tried it?

I had it four years ago and the left side of my face still is numb. Lucky that it did not blind my left eye. Get the shot!!!

Stick: The short answer is no. That the "review" remarks on the grey ash makes me think that it is a rarity. I have had only one tobacc that ended in grey ash. That was the first and only bowl of Rattray's Old Gowrie. I do want to try that again soon. I do not recall how many relights it took...

No! I am definitely a traditionalists. At most maybe, a Cumberland on the right pipe I can stand. I sold off a Boswell pipe because I could not stand the color of the stem. I did not even smoke it. It looked OK in the photo on the web site but it was too much for me in person. :affraid:

Union Square in an Black forest Alpine pipe. With a nice mug of black coffee.

I had no idea why I could not get on. Just started working now.

I am sadden by this news also. I enjoyed my contact with Mike When he was making a bowl for my Kirsten. I am in the process of breaking that bowl in now and I will smoke it tonight in his honor.

+1 on the Nimrod Commander's fuel lasting a long time when not in use. Not like the Zippo. I have a bolt type also but prefer the Commander.

BTW they are starting to make some parts. Good luck.

I would try K F Kirsten. Stacy is the grand daughter of the Professor. I believe. [email protected] Or phone them: 206 264 2966 . I have found Stacy there on some afternoons. Lone Red Tree

BTW, It has not been asked...What are you smoking? Some tobaccs leave a lot of dottle and are very damp. Some dottle smells worse than others. I have found that it takes 3 days for the bowl to clear (dry) the somewhat sour smell from the bowl. It is probably wetness but it can be that the tars...

There are 2 lighters on page 26 that look identical. The one on the left I have not seen before. I remember my scout leader using the Beattie in the 50's. I have 2 of them. They use 2 wicks. One for the normal vertical flame and one for the horizontal tube. If you tilt the lighter forward to...

Thank you all! 72 and still kicking. Celebrating with a bowl of Blue Mountain in a Tinsky Rhodesian. Spring has sprung in Kalifornia.  :cheers:   :cheers:   :cheers:
