Thread: Pipe of the Day

McClelland Aurora in a Savinelli 111KS .
This tobacco is just tasty. Aurora is a broad spectrum of Virginias ribbon cut easy to handle burns very well fresh out the tin. Mellow reds and deep black stoved lemon VA naturally sweet. It's yummy I wish this was a bulk offering I'd get me a bunch.

Look in Pipes and cigars bulk section and I am willing to bet you'll find something similar ?

A little Old Joe Krantz in a Ser Jacopo Picta series 13 while cleaning my Stealth that I enjoyed getting dirty today.

Smoking some Escudo in my Castello stubby Canadian. A mighty fine Vaper if I do say myself. Enjoy your smokes folks.

What are the little O Rings for?

There are four larger ones and four small ones. The smaller are grip screw o-rings and they keep G-10 grips from coming loose while shooting. I also use Challis bushings and the larger o-rings are bushing o-rings that keep, or help keep G-10 grips from damaging the finish on the frame.

If you have never used any Challis products, check out their website. They are all fantastic and Brian’s grips (out of my price range) are pretty much works of art.

The Challis o-rings are far better than using #60 o-rings from the hardware store.

Smoking some Haunted Bookshop in a Castello Sea Rock that I’ve had for 20 years or so and smoked very little. It is burning the Haunted Bookshop just amazing right now.

Ok, gotcha. Thought it had to do with the grip screws or bushings.

Smoking some GL Pease Gaslight in the mighty Alpster. What a creamy smokey Latakia blend this is. Yummy stuff. A mysterious blend indeed.

Some C&D Mountain Camp in a Castello Collection Fiamatta. Haven’t had any Latakia in quite some time and it is a really nice change of pace.

A CLP that I got at a shop as an estate pipe for a fishing weekend. I think that they tried to clean it up and got it to thin on the stem. It didn't take me 1/2 a bowl to crack it and by that time I was miles away.

Today I thought I had nothing to loose and this is my first try at this type of thing so don't laugh to hard!

I ended up taking about 1/2 inch off to get to thicker material. I cut twice at about 1/4 inch. The missing piece in the middle is somewhere under my workbench.

Now off for some Happy Brown Bogie.
