What are you smoking?

Nice one Bradley. War year Dunhills are not the easiest to come by. I am lucky to have a 1944 Shell billiard. And having an ODA size from that era is a rare pipe. Awesome.

Andy I too am sorry about the size of the picture, have not found out how to resize on mobile phone app. SPC had this one when I was browsing , it had just come in, jumped on it with both feet.

 

[docwatson]

I understand Bradley, I am technically challenged when it comes to some of this stuff. I did find out how to resize on Photobucket just under edit and resized to 640 x ? and saved it but it came out the same size??? Oh well, I like the big photo anyway!!! LOL

Earlier, I was smoking Mid-1920s Half and Half in a tan etched medium bend 2001 Rinaldo Sahara 2 Acorn round at the shank, pointy at the opposite top. Now, it's Sir Walter Raleigh in a smooth three quarter bend 1979 Ben Wade Golden Matt freehand sitter.

Jim, is there a distinct difference between the old Half & Half and the more recent blend?
I've smoked tons of this blend, and just wondering if you find a difference.

The old blend is more straight forward in taste with less topping, and frankly, I like it better for that reason.

Forgot to post last night, but I had some SG Kendal Creme Flake in my MM diplomat cob pot.
