On the porch enjoying some 1776 "Old Dominion" in a Capri rusticated egg straight, stab stem pipe. Still fighting the sinus crud. This is the first normal tasting pipe in a while.
Vanilla Cream Flake in a Barbic red dot - first pipe I ever bought (1973).
7 Seas Royal in a Comoy's 291... hummm... that was good!

If there's a better combination on earth that a codger burley and a good cup of coffee I'd like to know what it is.
You're completely right!!!Quote:

FWIW, I myself coined the term Codger Burley. These were the blends all the old codgers smoked when I was a kid (PA, Granger, Half and Half, etc.) The classic over the counter scoop and serve burlies of the golden age of American pipe smoking. Happy Brown Bogie (being English) is not a codger burley but its good stuff just the same.
Had me some ESCUDO in this Charatan Select....sweet tasting Vaper right there !!!!http://i1327.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6ae7a12a.jpg

Can't wait to receive it. It is a Polinski Briarwood pipe-stunning. Gets great reviews. I occasionally smoke a cigar, but a close friend of mine has been begging me to purchase a pipe. He recently purchased some new tobacco that he is raving about and would like someone to smoke with so I finally ordered one. I can't wait. If anyone has any advice on break-in, maintenance or any other topic regarding pipes, I would love to hear it. I have no experience with them whatsoever.
I love my cigars, because I could never pull off the look for a pipe. Hope you enjoy your new purchase.
Late friday evening pipe. Scottish flakes from estate Barling zulu.
Two candles at the window: just a traditional manner for celebrating our independence day (96th today).

Pipe smoking takes an honest effort to learn, but the payoff is priceless. Don't let the mistakes bother you. Everyone who has smoked a pipe has made mistakes. Simply relax, learn, and welcome to the pipe smoking fraternity.Quote:

Enjoying some 1776 "Bostonian" light English in my newest little basket briar pipe. I am inside cooking spaghetti with beef and deer meat. I have Bertolli olive oil and garlic sauce bubbling on the pot as well. The wife is at a women's meeting for church (hen party), so it is me and my 3 kids doing spaghetti and movie night tonight. Wife is away, hence smoking in the house:D
Mmmmm I want Bsgetti with deer meat n garlic !!!:)
That reminds me. I received some tragic news tonight......I was getting all jazzed up for my coming weekend.I was going to go down to the local German restaurant and chow down on Schnitzel and Beer and so on.........only to be informed they closed !!! Life is a cruel mistress.:cry:
We have a local Austrian restaurant here that love to stop in for streusel and coffee. I would be so very sad if they ever closed :(Quote:

Guess i've had here some pics of this before, these go to Steph the Blade who recently asked about Järvenpää knives.
Here's the one and only i have. Järvenpää leuku.
They were issued in the army. I got mine some 25+ years ago from army nco/unteroffizier institute.
Leuku is very big knife so pretty soon everyone discarded theirs and started carrying their own, smaller and more handy knives instead.
Mine has taken some damage: i've used it as a hammer or axe or whatever. One night back then i forgot it at the top of the stove and so the handle got some markings too. Nowadays i use mostly it for chopping firewood only, so i keep it sharp.
Here's the knife itself and the steath with army nco sign and the wolverine:

And the blade with reindeers and Järvenpää signature:

Here you get some of my knives manufactured in Finland.
As Tomi said...for daily using...
Here is a Gaudy Meerschaum pipe carved as Bacchus I got the other day. I am going to have fun to try to get it colored. I am surprised that it has yellowed so fast. It was bright white and this is the 5th bowl. The main trouble is that the bowl is to big and takes over an hour to smoke a 3/4 fill. Trying some Southern Twist that is good if it is dried out a little. I thought I would add my Frosts knife that a neighbor got on a trip to Sweden. Been abused and starting to show a little "patina" and is an excellent blade. And inexpensive! My main complaint is that the Swedes must always wear slim dress style belts. I would carry it much more often but the sheath won't fit on my belt.
