First of all, me being a retired military advisor for Department of Defense, with ties to what's going on and without letting out any state secrets, I can assure you that things will soon get a lot more interesting in the Philippines.  Maybe not in 5 months, but soon. Now that said, I am not a...

I liked the first one. Thanks for posting.

Over thinking this isn't necessarily a bad thing. I appreciate how you went through the though process. It works. WTG.

HI Deverish! WTG on moving over to pipes. I won't hold you being in the Air Force against you (Army here) -- it will just take you a while longer to get with the program  :o  Welcome, Brother  ;) 

Carter Hall, in a Savinelli Guibilio d'Oro 320 KS.

++ damn -- +++ Well said.

OK after dinner, time for some more Mac Barren Navy Flake. This time in a Savinelli Giubileo d'Oro 320 LS. I'm loving this blend.

Indeed, what's up with that Todd Harris pipe? I own two -- both mortas -- and they will absolutely not be my last. I am interested in what Todd can do in Briar  ;)

I own several Savinelli pipes and I'm quite pleased with all of them. Congratulations on your Sav Tortuga -- enjoy and thanks for posting!

Cornell & Diehl Working Man Series: 5 O'Clock Shadow, in a Taylor Ashton Old Church XXX apple.

4 Noggins Weybridge, in a Ferndown * Bark cumberland pot.

"Group size" determination, even with Dunhill is, IMO, a ballpark estimate at best to give us some idea of the pipe's size; i.e., some are identified as Group 4, but are really Group 5, while another Group 4 is a Group 3, yet another Group 4 is actually a Group 4. That said, other makers who...

Hello and welcome aboard, Balisong!

Sutliff CD Blend, in a SmokinDragon Custom MM cob.

Dunhill Early Morning Pipe, in a 1957 Dunhill Root Briar EK panel billiard.

A friend of mine bought a pound of this "Royal Yacht Match" this past summer. I tried some and it was actually pretty damn good. Not very expensive, either. http://www.paylesspipes.com/search.php?q=royal+yacht+match&x=0&y=0 Check it out. BTW, if you call them and ask nicely, they might just...

Hello there, Kurt! Welcome, brother  :) 

Still enjoying this Mac Baren Navy Flake, tonight in a Willmer 1/8th bent AAA billiard/pot.
