Thread: Pipe of the Day

Sam Gawith Best Brown flake , in one of my rejected pipes - small dubliner
MMM yumy Brownies

IMHO, Cornell and Diehl Old Joe Krantz is, and has for several years been the finest pipe tobacco on the market. After a long break from smoking a pipe I recently ordered up a pound. Not surprisingly it's still wonderful. Today I'm alternating burning it in a 1960s Whitehall Grand National and a pre-1938 4-digit Kaywoodie. All the vitamin N a growing boy needs.

Yep I like OJK a lot. Welcome back codger

Looks good to me. Why is it rejected? Is the other side ugly?

No its absolutely perfect on the other side as well . The problem with the best and hardest blocks of briar is that they develop internall cracks if not cured properly .
The pipe has 2 cracks going throw the shank upside down I fill them with resin and i drill it
It is perfectly smokable Unfortunately i canot let a pipe with such flaws come outside my workshop . There are plenty other
Besides im running out of pipes to smoke
So i decide to lift the quality control and reject more pipes even with small flaws so i can smoke from them ha ha ah a
Thats the thrueth abbout the pipemakers- we all smoke uor rejected pipes We cannot afford smoke perfect pipe /visualy /

Reminds me of the old saying about shoemakers. The shoemaker's children have no shoes .........

Thats thrue- i was 11 years a plummer and heat instalations maker - worker .If you have watch the mouvie with all the action heroes - Staloun , Statham , and ect - The invincible or something like that . So there is an aeroport in the mouvie ,that gets all shot to pieces . This airport , is near to my town and i made all the pluming on it
A lot of pipes - i work it , almost 1 year
Anyway , i was a plummer , and very good one - that doesnt mean that , the pipes in my house were right - no Sir , no such thing
All was damage , and there was noone to repair them ha ha a a
So is , with the pipes for tobacco - I mainly smoke old ones or pear wood pipes as it is cheap ha ha ha ah
And some of my regected ones
I use to smoke pipe a lot - i smoke from 400 to 800 grams tobacco a month - up to 8 or 10 pipes a day
Now in smoking half of it as i cannot afford anymore hahh aha a
And i beggan to smoke veeery slooooooowwwwwllllyyyy as all my pipes gave up after a year of use ha hah ahaha I was buyng a lot of seconds once , but they gave up quickly and they have theyre old gosts in them aways
So i began making new ones for me , in the begining .
Enjoy your pipes brothers

A Castello shape I hadn't encountered before ...... a P-4, not a 32. (normally Castello Canadians are shape 32) Just got this and it is a beauty. Only 5" long and feather light. With C&D Bayou Morning.

I like the tamper Jim - yes the Castello is unusual , but a class .
I smoke this morning the prototype of my personal shape full bent Anunaque , with a cofee and best Brown
What cn i say 0 life is good somethimes

Had a very nice bowl of C & D Mountain Camp in a Castello Castello 33 with a rounded top (no idea of what the actual shape # is). My first bowl in a week. When I was in Florida for seven weeks, taking care of my dad, and barely having any time to smoke, I started inhaling a little. Now that I'm back and things are returning to normal, I needed to take a week off to stop myself from inhaling. That first bowl was very nice and lasted about an hour and a half. Smoked right to the bottom with just some nice gray ash left in the bowl.
