Pipe smoking, a lost art.

[TheCADJockey]

Those are crazy man. Stopped by tobacconist tonight for first time in years. Picked up a few bags of blends they had in jars. Not sure if they mean anything but one is Seville, a black cavendish and a whiskey one. So far the cav is working for me. Picked up a cob while there even though not nearly as cheap as online. It seems okay though, will be nice when have time to relax.

Used to have a few more, but gave several away.

That top one looks to be a true gourd calabash, my white whale pipe. They go for around $200 on up usually. Very very nice

Got it on fleabay at a pretty reasonable price. Sometimes you find good deals on estate pipes there.

But yeah they can be $$$$

While it isn't something I would have purchased myself, it turns out do be a damn fine smoker and don't look half bad either. I dig it

Does the weight of the stone make it hard to clench?

Yeah, it isn't great for that so not the best choice while I work.

you and your valid points...

Still haven't made any progress on my pipe as of late. Plan to stain and do some more sanding tomorrow. On the plus side, I did pick up a dozen 8 oz mason jars and was able to properly package my recent tobacco acquisitions for storage. Have 8 of them filled. Mostly English blends, and one VaPer. I really like the way the VaPer smells. Plan to pick up some more of that next Friday.

I'ma post this here too.

Billy, did you say you like the Fujin? One of my favorite cigars is the DE KFC. Looking for a good baccy using the fire cured in it.

 

[Billy-Klubb]

yeah, Fujin is really good. Raijin is another with fire cured. it's quite a bit more robust than Fujin. I'd really recommend the whole sampler pack.
