What Are You Smoking Pages.

[JimInks]

Jim,

I have a question for you, since you know a heck of a lot about pipes. I bought a Rattray's Brave Heart shape 153 about a month ago. I doesn't have any stamping indicating its national origin. Would you happen to know where those pipes are/were made? Mine was brand new, so it would seem to me that it was made recently. Any info you cold pass along would be appreciated.

As to pipe shapes, I have one apple (Savinelli Venere 207) and a lot of billards. I like the apple a lot, maybe because my Grandfather smoke Kaywoodie apples back in the day.

Best regards,

Carl

I wish I had a precise answer for you. K&K owns the company, and many are produced by more than one shop in Italy, and elsewhere. That's all I can tell you.

Did a second set of walking reps and it was more humid this time, but I survived. I've a quarter of a bowl left of year 2015 D&R A.B. Rimboche in an undated slight bend, smooth flame grain Wessex Standard egg with a brown accent on the black vulcanite saddle stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Watching the Reds-Dodgers game.

After church the missus cooked a delicious dinner, after which I took a good nap. Now I'm on the patio with my Barling Sovereign bent acorn with saddle stem filled with Watch City Rouxgaroux, drinking Coke Zero and reading a book.

Almost half way through this bowl of year 2021 first production Watch City Simply Orange Virginia in a black sandblast medium bend Peterson POTY 4AB No. 182/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem. The orange scamper is snoozin' by my side.

I'm now smoking Straus Private Stock Aromatic in a Hardcastle's Crown bent billiard with saddle stem. I'm drinking Lavazza Perfetto iced coffee. Listening to the audiobook of Post Captain.

After a couple of pieces of spinach pie and evening chores I'm enjoying GLP Westminster in a Rob Roy and a glass of jug wine. About half an hour until the birds get put to bed.

Smoking a Dr.Plumb Peacemaker that I keep forgetting I have as its not in the rack its in a box. Smokes really great and is now in the rack, the only bowl that has been smoked is the one pictured as I cant bring myself to try the others yet and prob wont. MB no1 for the first time not bad. I really love this pipe to look at and smoke now.

Corn 'shine has a slightly sweet note,can be a bit fiery as this jar was 100 proof. But overall smooth for the proof. Definitely can taste the corn but in a pleasant way imho. Essentially an unaged whiskey, so none of the various flavors that the barrel imbues.

Sounds like my type of drink HB if only I knew someone that lives out in the boonies up in the mountains that is probably a moonshine kingpin Timmmmbooo???

Smoking the peacemaker with some rat pro mix, and as I am such a lazy ******* and not used to a clean pipe and trying to get the last puff out of it due to the exorbitant cost of tobacco over here pulled the ash through to my lungs aggg I will clean my pipes tomorrow defiantly. Not this type though

I had a very busy evening and couldn't post until now. I just finished smoking 2019 C&D Yorktown in a smooth medium bend 2021 Peterson POTY Terracotta 4AB No.108/500 military mount with a silver cap and a tapered black vulcanite AB stem.
