Take care Guyrox. Hope all is well.

Listening to Wilco's newest album, "Shmilco". The whole album is available on Youtube to listen to. I'm definitely digging it. If you are a Wilco fan be sure to check it out.

What about adding in a corn cob pipe and cleaners to make it a full set? Its always fun getting a complete set of something. Make it a clean 30 bucks and there you go.

A little update on the Nepal adventure I mentioned I was planning a while back for anyone interested. I work at an international school located in Korea and my favorite part of being a teacher is organizing and leading trips overseas for my students. This year, thanks to being the principal, I...

Well being situated in Asia and regularly travelling between Japan, China and Korea I see Dunhill everywhere because its an ubiquitous brand here.  Their chunk in the cigarette market is huge...at any mart Dunhill cigs take up 1/3 of the the cigarette rack and the counter area is plastered with...

Yes....very very sad to think that the Royal Yacht may be dropping anchor for good. And Durbar...no...say it ain't so. I cant understand this news though....they just brought out a bunch of new blends. I hope its just a rumour.

Anyong Haseyo from South Korea. Doing great here. Enjoyed a terrific New Years Day by going surfing at dawn to catch the sunrise. Waves were nice and the sky was clear. The sun was a giant orange orb rising out of the sea. Then after lunch went sailing with my family out of the local bay...

NICE! I looovveee the Cuban H.Upmanns.  I've only had the Petit Coronas and a few tubos so far but man were they fine.  Punch is a go-to brand for me but H. Upmann and Partagas are next in line. Kennedy had good taste indeed. That must have been a happy moment receiving that box.  To me...

I just wanted to gaze at your pipes (my pipe budget is more in the corn cob range). They're some of the nicest I've seen. Love the bands on them. I know you are retired but seems to me you've finally found your calling. Stellar!

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope 2017 is a healthy and prosperous year for all.

14 degrees C in Seoul. Very strange. Was walking around in a shirt looking at all the down filled parkas for sale in the shop windows. Glad I didnt need one.

Those pipes look awesome. You are a talented artisan. Do you have a webpage for your pipe sales?

Me neither Mister E. But there is some kind of topping that I can't really make out. I assume it is coffee and that coffee when smoked doesn't taste the same as when drank. I wasn't really impressed by the Gold Block on its own. I guess Capstan, McClelland and SG forged my standard for...

Lonecoyote, this too was aged...about a year. I had thrown a bunch in an empty tin and forgotten about it. The colors had all mellowed to a deep dark brown and the tin note was just pure tobacco. My new favorite blend for sure. Bone dry it all is but seems to work for this.

Wow! I'm getting to the bottom here and I'm for the first time tasting the nuttiness many refer to with burleys. Its like a rich hazelnut flavor. If you try it I suggest packing it super tight and sipping slow. And be sure to dry out the Gold Brick to the same dryness as the semois. Happy...

2/3 Semois 1/3 Wessex Gold Brick The coffee topped straight virginia of the Gold Brick goes very nicely with the cigar note of the Semois burley. If you have these 2 constituents give it a try. Very cigar like. Cheers all!

What about Blakemar Briars? They have a really nice assortment of traditional English shapes and their prices are nice too. I almost never see them mentioned though. I'm thinking about getting one soon. Maybe the Woodstock.

I have that exact same shape by Peterson but not the Christmas version...just the Army briar. Love it...smokes great! Its pretty much my go to. That sure is a nice one and I don't think you will be disappointed.

Thanks for the replies mates. Incorporating what you guys have said what I will do is this. Avoid the mini pipe which may give a hot smoke..especially with an aluminum stem. Then as opposed to half bowls fill the bowl well full...smoke half and then DGT it and smoke the next half later...
