Thanks. I inherited it and many other pipes when one of my best friends passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2010. I always think of him when I smoke one of his pipes. In this case, I told him he needed a Dunhill and he bought this one as an estate at my urging. I dedicated it to FVF because that's what he smoked in it.That's a lovely pipe!
Happy Birthday Charley. 39, wow, you're just 3 years past being half my age, lol. Hope you have a great BD. Cheers.Today's my 39th birthday! and I made a list of tobaccos I want to smoke today. The two new ones are Peanut Butter and HH Virginia, I am smoking the Virginia now, in an Altinay Zulu meerschaum.

I find that Virginia doesn't go well with coffee, maybe it's the roast that I drink, have you noticed that? MB Virginia no 1 does fine, most blends are good with coffee.I'm copying Charley and smoking MacBaren HH Pure Virginia Flake in a Meerschaum, but mine is the Missouri genre!
I enjoy coffee with both Virginia and English/Balkan blends but stay away from anything containing Burley, it makes me sneeze! I roast my coffee to about Full City which means stopping the roast before the second crack. At the second crack I find the beans get oil on the outside and have a tendency toward bitterness. Needless to say I'm not a Starbucks fan!I find that Virginia doesn't go well with coffee, maybe it's the roast that I drink,
Happy birthday Charlie. Hope those bowls are all excellent.Today's my 39th birthday! and I made a list of tobaccos I want to smoke today. The two new ones are Peanut Butter and HH Virginia, I am smoking the Virginia now, in an Altinay Zulu meerschaum.
