Not laughing at all. Probably will make it a special pipe, better than when you first left the shop.

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.

Op Success, looks like a good fix to me.

HH Old Dark Fired in my SMS Bulldog. Some Draft Goose Island IPA as a companion.

Lamenting the McClelland blends I loved and are to be no more. St James Woods in a Castello stubby Canadian. So sad.

Just found out about McClellends ............ why live anymore. I got approx 2 liters of my Bulk 2000 Fragrant matured cake left . After that I'm going to blow my friggin brains out. Or ........... find another blend to call friend I guess. Gee, I just love settling for second best Pfft !

Couldn't get a pic loaded as I am at work pullin a double but,got the Butz Choquin Diam pipe with me and enjoying some of my true love.

I'm not taking this well guys. Change stinks !

Got an e-mail on that a week or so ago. Don’t smoke much of their tobacco but still sad to hear that they are going out of business. I understand that it is a retirement choice and not due to lack of business. C & D is not the same as it used to be after the sale and if someone bought out McClellands it most likely would not have stayed at the same standards as it was. I need to look and see how much of their tobacco I have in my cabinet.

Haven’t smoked a pipe in over 30 years, but when I did, I really enjoyed the Danish tobaccos from MacBarens (which I thought were Scottish at the time) and Erinmore flake. Those were two very different smokes.

Now that I see what eBayers want for good pipes, I wish I had kept my Petersons, Brighams, Butz Choquins and Julius Vesz’s. I could buy a nice selection of Riga and Korat razors ;(

That's the whole thing ,I can't blam'em because it's a small outfight that dedicated 40 years worth of love and OCD to their craft and it showed. They desrve a rest. I'm just glad I got to enjoy them while I could. I bought 6 ozs. of one of the remaining blends at P&C. It's and aromatic but that's okay. it'll still be a nice treat now and then. Hats off and thank you McCllend's

Realized the other day McClelland's made Frog Morton.....
