I have not seen a meer necklace.
I wonder how that will age with skin oils etc.

I know absolutely nothing about smoking and cleaning a meer. They fascinate yet intimidate be a little.:thinking:

Going to be enjoying some Condor plug in a Peterson 312 before firing up the grill on this fine day.

Nice Pete.
That looks like a serious plug
You can get Condor as ready rubbed or flake in the UK, it's an OTC. They only sell the plug in Ireland so I order it from Pipe Divan/James Fox and have it shipped here (USA). My parents still live in the UK so I occasionally order blends and get them to ship them here for me. Got 2 packets of Grasmere flake on the way as I write this. Condor, especially the plug is very strong, one of the only pipe tobaccos I've smoked where I ever got the spins.
The Gawith & Hoggarth blends are readily available in the UK but very hard to find the states.
I have not heard of Condor.
Peterson Lestrade (Sherlock Holmes series) with some Gawith and Hoggarth Grasmere Flake (Rose Geranium scented).

I used to smoke Condor and Erinmore Flake when I was in university. Gave all that up many years ago along with a significant collection of Peterson and Brigham pipes.
I do remember passing out after a 2-hour Condor smoke and feeling terrible for a day after I woke. Pretty sure it was nicotine poisoning.
Love the smell of a pipe. Use to love the feeling of keeping a pipe going while reading a book and sipping a good port or brandy. Now I just savour the memory.
Yeah Condor really is a bruiser in the vitamin N department, I find it much stouter than even something like Sam Gawiths Black/Brown twists. I have some Erinmore flake but I find it a bit bitey so haven't smoked too much of it. UK otc blends seem to be much more robust than the typical US offerings. I'd probably smoke even more than I do now if I still lived in the UK with so many classic blends still around (for now).
A sad day!

What a great blend. Full bodied but not harsh. I will miss this tobacco.
My thanks to jfk

I feel your pain:cry:
Wrapped up an unsuccessful day of hunting with some old Dunhill London mix in a Peterson while sipping Barry's irish breakfast blend tea. It was a cold one, but any day hunting is better that doing almost anything else.
Best I can do this time around is one of this morning's a deer from the last day of alternative season.
Celebrated with another bowl of of London mix in the peterson with coffee.
Barry's is definitely a favorite, but I haven't had Yorkshirein a long time. A local shop used to have "Dublin gosip" which was a house blend mix of Barry's and constant comment, too bad they discontinued it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]338450[/ATTACH
Gads this really blows,I wanna smoke my pipes but can't due to a pernicious chest cold.Bother !! Been clamping way too much lately..
Hope to see some yummy venison pics soon maybe?:beer1:
After a day of honeymoon planning I enjoyed a bowl of 2011 Dunhill Navy Rolls in a straight viking. It's a great little pipe, that was my first "real" pipe that wasn't a cheap basket or a cob. I'm cooking a my version of french onion soup that pretty much consists of onions, thin sliced seared venison, homemade beef stock and seasoning.

Congratulations on the marriage, hope the honeymoon has pipe smoking involved somewhere there. I started with Vikings, good pipes. Dependable and affordable without looking like basket pipes. Always gave me good smokes. also, good job on the onion soup. That's always been one of those soups where I always found the hype grander than the soup, but I think the addition of venison is the ticket. Cheers and more cheers.:angel:

Are those animals I see in the background , possibly a dog and a cat sorry the animal lover in me, it overrides the tobacco lover
Haha good eye. That's two of our dogs back there. The cat stays outside, he prefers it that way so that he can run amuck and hunt furry creatures. Attachment 339682
Hello everyone! Smoked some haunted bookshop in a bent viking today.
