Thank you. The P01 is my soon to be daily CCW, the P938 is my suit and tie gun. The pipe I picked up while on a road trip because I'd forgotten one, it's turned out to be a great smoker.

It' funny to me that my most expensive pipe which was my first the Peterson 2013 Christmas pipe is my worst smoker. Not a bad smoker but temperamental compared to my others. Its probably my fault as I kind of abused the hell out of it not breaking in properly and smoking it way too hot. My other Peterson, a much larger pipe just smokes great as does my Savinelli straight billiard. So far the Rattray is doing fine but I only got two half bowls on its naked briar bowl and I didn't use the filter:shrug:. Falcon also amazing smoker and really that was dirt cheap. Once I get some smoking experience im going to treat myself to something nice.
Like razor faust my pipe shop although decent is just as he described. Mostly it's fine wines and spirits and cigars. Modest but good selection of blends and a small selection of tinned tobacco's and a case and a drawer of pipes. enough though and decent albeit slow moving selection .
I never realized how old some of these tins were until i learned how to read the manufacture codes on the tins.
Here's an example for Dunhill https://www.smokingpipes.com/smoking...unhill-tobacco Most of you guys probably know this already but I didn't have a clue until i came across that article. Unfortunately If a B&M is going to survive these days Cigars are the focus, I feel Pipe smoking is a dying pass time in our rush rush modern world. I once lit a pipe in the smoking lounge near me and the whole lot of Cigar nuts looked at me as if I was doing something illegal lol. I hope the trend will change and maybe the pipe will be king again like it was in the 1950's and 60's as a gentleman's relaxing pass time of choice.
